CHAPTER 3: Troubleshooting

Q: The CPU is not powering on?
A: Make sure the power port is plugged in snug. Make sure all electrical wires have good 
connections,Check for a blown fuse in the hardwire power cable.

Q: Why aren’t my heads receiving a Laser alert when shot by Police? 
A: Make sure your Volume is turned up high enough to hear over road noise and loud 
music,and is not on zero. The Officer may have not targeted you specifically,or pulled 
the trigger. Make sure your sensor cables are all plugged in, and lined up correctly by the 
arrows. A laser tester will confirm a Laser alert. A faulty head will not alert to Laser.

Q: Why is my CPU locked up? 
A: Try a soft reset by a 1 second push on the RST button. The firmware did not upload 
correctly, The CPU case was smashed causing a button to be stuck. CPU notices a bad head. 

Q: How do i know if i have a bad sensor,or the sensor has head failure? 
A: The CPU can lock up, The CPU bluetooth light will randomly flash rapid upon start up, 
The fuse in the hardwire will keep blowing. The sensor will run hot compared to the others. 
Please call Customer support for a replacement. 

Q: Why does the CPU keep announcing “Algorithm update” and is frozen?
A: Try to re-upload the Alglo,or CPU control firmware.

Q: Why will the App not load up a firmware?
A: Make sure your device has a 4G service, or a strong WIFI connection. Make sure you are 
not in a third party app.
