Important warning:
At times, the antenna of your detector won't produce any alarm when you pass by a radar.
This could be due to the following reasons:
1.
The radar is off.
2.
The radar is damaged (see photo 6).
3.
The radar is in gauge state.
4.
The mobile radar is temporarily turned off because police officers have stopped many
vehicles and are fining drivers.
At these times, the detector antenna won't emit alarms, but you might receive warnings from the
GPS system of your device.
3.
Interpretation of alarm warnings
The detector antenna suddenly emits an almost continuous tone and the visual alarm is visible.
You are close to a radar source. This situation requires immediate attention.
The detector antenna begins to make sounds slowly, increasing the speed of the tones and the
visual alarm.
You are approaching a radar source directed toward your vehicle.
The detector antenna emits a weak signal and –suddenly– jumps to the maximum intensity.
You are approaching a radar source located behind a rise or curve. Since it is hidden, the signal will
be detected weakly at first. Then it will appear with maximum intensity when you enter the field of
vision of the radar.
The detector antenna emits short alarms during brief seconds.
You are approaching a radar source or emitting station located far and outside its vision. They are
simple radio wavelength echoes.
The detector antenna receives a brief laser-type alarm.
There is a laser, probably very close.
The detector antenna emits intermittent alerts without apparent reason.
It is probably a police vehicle with a radar-emitting device circulating in front of your vehicle. The
radar signals are reflected in other vehicles and the radar detector captures the echo. It could also
be another vehicle carrying a detector antenna and these detect each other.
The detector antenna warns you of a KA band in a weak and intermittent way.
You could be driving in an area with radar sensors (garage-door remote controls, alarms, mobile
telephony repeaters, etc.)
The detector antenna warns you of a Multa Radar band in a weak and intermittent way.
You could be driving in an area with radar sensors (garage-door remote controls, alarms, mobile
telephony repeaters, etc.)
The detector antenna makes a continuous noise when driving through the same place, but there is
no apparent radar.
An emission that produces a false alarm probably exists. By using the unit, you will learn to
differentiate between real alarms and false alarms.
The detector antenna doesn't seem to react to the radars.
