Troubleshooting Problem V965 beeps briefly at the same location every day, but no radar source is in sight. V965 does not seem sensitive to radar or laser. V965 did not alert when a police car was in view. V965 did not provide a Safety signal while within range of an emergency vehicle. V965's display is not working. V965's audible alerts are less loud after the first few alerts. V965 bounces or sags on windshield. V965's power-on sequence reoccurs while you are driving. Solution • An X or K-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 V965'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. • V965 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. • V965 is in AutoMute Mode. See page 8 for details. • V965 is not making contact with the windshield to provide stability. While holding down V965's QuickMount button, slide V965 toward the windshield so that the back top edge makes firm contact. • A loose power connection or dirty lighter socket can cause V965 to be briefly disconnected. 24 Problem Your 14-year old son has changed all 6 of the Programming options.
