TROUBLESHOOTING
CARE & MAINTENANCE
During the summer months, avoid prolonged exposure to
direct sunlight by removing your unit from the dash when
your vehicle is parked for an extended period of time. Do
not spray water, cleaners, or polishes directly onto the unit.
The spray may penetrate through the openings and damage
the unit. Also, do not use any abrasive cleaners on the unit’s
exterior.
PROBLEM: Unit alarms when vehicle hits bumps.
• Check for loose lighter socket; tighten and clean
• Check connections at both ends of the power cord
• Substitute another cord to determine if the cord is
defective. Return defective cord to the factory.
PROBLEM: Low or no audio.
• Cancel Auto Quiet Mode or City Mode.
• Check audio level setting.
•
Check Speed Selectable Auto Quiet setting in option
mode.
PROBLEM: Unit falses too much.
• If alarms are POP Ka, switch POP Mode to off.
• If the above option doesn’t help, use a higher Filter
setting.
• If alarms are X or K band and due to radar based traffic
flow sensors or radar based vehicle blind spot
detectors, turn TFSR on.
If difficulties
occur which cannot be solved by information in
this Troubleshooting Guide, please call Whistler Customer
Service, before returning your unit for service.
