TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS

a.  If no speed is displayed:

1.  Check battery(s) with a voltage meter to be sure they are outputting at least 12 volts.
2.  Check battery charger indicator lights. Be sure there is power to the charger from your outlet and 

power out from the charger measures higher than 12 volts.

3.  Check your “Set Time” feature and be sure your clock is set properly to display at the correct times. If in 

doubt, disable the set time feature.

b.  If a “NR” is displayed: 

Please note the radar can be accessed via a panel on the back side of the LED display. Use the “L” key to 

remove the tamper resistant screws and slide the cover over.
1.  Check the radar gun connector to be sure of a good connection.
2.  Check the indicator light on the back of the radar unit:

 

ƒ

ƒ

A solid Green LED indicates a vehicle traveling towards the unit is being measured.

 

ƒ
