Problem

RX45 beeps briefly at the same
location every day, but no radar
source is in sight.

RX45 does not seem sensitive to
radar or laser.

RX45 did not alert when a police
car was in view.

RX45 did not provide a Safety signal
while within range of an
emergency vehicle.

The RX45’s audible alerts are less
loud after the first few alerts.

reoccurs while you are driving.

Your 14-year old son has changed
all 5 of the Preferences options.

RX45 will not turn on.

The RX45’s display feels very warm.

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.

• RX45 may be in Auto NoX.

• 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.

• RX45 is in AutoMute Mode. See page 4 for details.

• A loose power connection can cause RX45 to be briefly
disconnected, and will retrigger the power-on sequence.

You can return all of the programming options to the factory
defaults by holding down the BRT and SENS buttons while
you turn RX45 on.

• Check that volume control is ON.
• Check that vehicle ignition is ON.
