Doubts . . . Maybe it’s not working right
You bought Valentine One Gen2 because you wanted the best radar
protection. When you’re really concerned about having the best, doubts
come easily . . . “Is it really working right?” . . . “It didn’t give much warning
that time. Is it dying on me?”
Such doubts are not easily resolved by a few paragraphs in a Manual. Still,
radar behaves according to laws of physics. So does Valentine One Gen 2.
There are reasons for everything that happens. Please consider the following
possibilities:
1. If you didn’t get a radar alert from a patrol car, was the radar turned
on? Remember that Instant-on doesn’t send out a detectable beam
until it’s triggered.
2. There are strong radars and weak ones. If you received a weak alert, could
it have been a kind of radar that you’re not used to?
3. The radar antenna can be pointed any direction inside the radar car. It
doesn’t have to point toward the front. Are you sure it was pointed at you?
If it’s pointed away, its strength as you approach is much less.
4. Traffic, particularly trucks, between you and the radar can block the beam.
Were you blocked?
5. The radar beam travels in a straight line. Was there a hill or building
blocking the beam?
6. Rain, moisture, or dust in the air can shorten radar range. Could this be
the reason for the weak alert?
