• 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 XR70’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.
• XR70 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.
• XR70 is in AutoMute Mode. See page 8 for details.
• XR70 is not making contact with the windshield to provide
stability. While holding down XR70’s QuickMount button,
slide XR70 toward the windshield so that the back top edge
makes firm contact.
• A loose power connection or dirty lighter socket can cause
XR70 to be briefly disconnected.
