Question about BEL 915R Radar Detector

Start up beeping with lights

When the radar detector is turned on with the car first thing in the morning after being off all night the detector goes through its normal start up testing, but then every 3 seconds there is a single "beep" with the X,K,Ka lights lighting up for a single flash. this goes on for about 30 seconds then stops and then the radar seems to be functioning normally. Any ideas?

Whistler 1783 detector shuts as soon as it goes thru start up mode. seems to get very hot to touch.

Try the factory reset - hold in the power and quiet buttons, while holding in these buttons plug in the power cord. Unit should beep twice. The unit will get warm to the touch.

Hi. Radar detectors do not sound whenever a police car or emergency vehicle is nearby. They only work if the police officer is using radar, and if he's within the range of your detector. Many states now use "LIDAR", which isn't detectable by many radar detectors.

Are the lights suppose to light up as soon as you turn the detector on?

I can help you with your Whistler Radar Detector.

Yes, if your detector is working properly, it should beep on power up, and all the lights should briefly lightup.

I hope that helps.

Cobra XRS 9950 will not power on.

Usually there is a fuse in part that you plug into the cig. lighter. Should just be able to unscrew the end and see the fuse in the end.

Ku is a band of radar used in some places by law enforcement. It is not used everywhere and can be a pain if it goes off for no reason. I recommend consulting your manual and turning the Ku band off if it is not used in the area in which you live. This will enable your detector to become more reliable for when you are being "zapped" by law enforcement

Pop is a way of using radar where the officer turns his radar on and off quickly. As a car approaches, they will turn the radar on long enough to get a speed reading, then immediately turn it back off to avoid detection by civilian radar devices. Some of the newer models of radar detectors have a feature which detects pop radar.

Every electronic device emits a frequency. Vg2 is what law enforcement use in states where radar detectors are illegal to identify whether a car is using a radar detector. The newer version of vg2 is called spectre and accomplishes the same thing. Some radar detectors can pick up on vg2 and spectre so the owner can turn the detector off before they are detected by law enforcement.

If you live near a cell-phone tower, your radar detector can pick up on the waves coming from it. If you like in an area where radar detectors are legal and Ku band is not used, I recommend turning off the vg2, spectre and Ku bands on your detector. This will not only cut down on some of the "noise" but also make your radar detector more reliable for when you are actually "zapped" by law enforcement.
