Solution
• An X-band motion sensor or intrusion alarm is located within
range of your route. With time, you will learn predictable
patterns of these signals.
• The RX75 may be in City Mode.
• Radar band(s) are turned off in programming.
• VASCAR, (Visual Average Speed Computer And Recorder) a
stopwatch method of speed detection, may be in use. Officer
may not have radar or laser unit turned on.
• Safety transmitters may not be commonly used in your area.
• The RX75 is in AutoMute Mode. See page 5 for details.
• A loose power connection can cause the RX75 to be briefly
disconnected, and will retrigger the power-on sequence.
• You can return all of the programming options to the factory
defaults by holding down the City and Mute buttons while you
turn the RX75 on.
• Check that volume control is ON.
• Check that vehicle ignition is ON.
• Check all connections.
• It is normal for the RX75 to feel warm.
