laser detection range

Suggestion
Check the vehicle's electrical sys-
tem for loose connection, includ-
ing the main battery cable and
alternator connections
Install a filter capacitor (1000µF, 35
volts, such as RadioShack Cat. No.
272-1032) on the back of the
cigarette lighter socket, across the
power connections
A police car might not be equipped
with radar (see the supplied bookle-
t, Questions and Answers About
Vehicle Speed Detection)
Police might be using VASCAR
type speed detection (See the
supplied booklet, Questions and
Answers About Vehicle Speed
Detection).
Be sure the laser detection lens is
not blocked.
Be sure the detector is properly
mounted. See "Selecting a moun-
ting Location" on Page 8.
Use lens cleaning solution to
clean the laser detection lens.
