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 Solo S2’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.
• Solo S2 may be in City Mode.

• VASCAR, (Visual Average Speed Computer and Recorder) a stop-
watch 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.

• Solo S2 is in Full Dark Mode. See page 18 for details.

• Solo S2 is in AutoMute Mode. See page 10 for details.

• Solo S2 is not making contact with the windshield to provide

while you are driving.

• Your 14-year old son has changed all 10
