location every day, but no radar
source is in sight.

radar or laser.

car was in view.

signal while within range of an
emergency vehicle.

Your 14-year old son has changed
all 7 of the Programming options.
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.
• Make sure that windshield wipers do not block RX65’s
radar antenna and that the laser lens is not behind tinted areas.
• Determine if your vehicle has an Instaclear®, ElectriClear®
or solar reflective windshield which may deflect radar or laser
signals.
• RX65 may be in City Mode.
• 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.
• Press the BRT button to deactivate Dark Mode.
• RX65 is in AutoMute Mode. See page 8 for details.
• RX65 is not making contact with the windshield to provide
stability. While holding down RX65’s QuickMount button,
slide RX65 toward the windshield so that the back top edge
makes firm contact.
• A loose power connection or dirty lighter socket can cause
RX65 to be briefly disconnected.
You can return all of the programming options to the factory
defaults by holding down the CITY and BRT buttons while
you turn RX65 on.
