Troubleshooting
Problem

location every day, but no radar
source is in sight.

radar or laser.
STi-R did not alert when a police
car was in view.
STi-R did not provide a Safety
signal while within range of an
emergency vehicle.

after the first few alerts.
STi-R’s power-on sequence
reoccurs while you are driving.

located within range of your route. With time, you will
learn predictable patterns of these signals.

stopwatch method of speed detection, may be in use.
• Officer may not have radar or laser unit turned on.

area.

Mode.

disconnected.
