Beltronics V6 - Manual (Page 13)

Problem
The V6 beeps briefly at the same
location every day, but no radar
source is in sight.
The V6 does not seem sensitive to
radar or laser.
The V6 did not alert when a police
car was in view.
The V6 did not provide a Safety
signal while within range of an
emergency vehicle.
The V6’s display is not working.
The V6’s audible alerts are less loud
after the first few alerts.
The V6 bounces or sags on
windshield.
The V6’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 your V6’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.
• Your V6 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.
• The V6 is in AutoMute Mode. See page 8 for details.
• The V6 is not making contact with the windshield to
provide stability. While holding down the V6’s QuickMount
button, slide the V6 toward the windshield so that the back
top edge makes firm contact.
• A loose power connection or dirty lighter socket can cause
the V6 to be briefly disconnected.
