Troubleshooting PROBLEM V945 beeps briefly at the same location every day, but no radar source is in sight. 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. V945 does not seem sensitive to radar or laser. • Make sure that windshield wipers do not block V945'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. • V945 may be in City All Mode. V945 did not alert when a police car was in view. • 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. V945 did not provide a Safety signal while within range of an emergency vehicle. • Safety transmitters may not be commonly used in your area. V945's display is not working. • Press the DARK button to return to full Bright Mode. V945's audible alerts are less loud after the first few alerts. • V945 is in AutoMute Mode.
