How to Troubleshoot a Beltronics 895 Radar Detector
- 1). If the radar detector briefly beeps at the same location on a regular basis, but no radar source is nearby, something else could be setting it off. Most likely, an intrusion detector is located at the location that is being passed.
- 2). If the radar detector is not sensitive to radar or laser signals, check the position of the unit. Make sure the radar detector's antenna is not blocked by windshield wipers.
- 3). If the radar detector did not sound an alert when a police car was nearby, it is most likely due to the officer not having the radar or laser unit enabled.
- 4). If the 895's display is not illuminated, it is in Dark Mode. Press the "BRT" button to deactivate Dark Mode.
- 5). If the unit is hitting or sagging against the windshield, the position needs to be adjusted. Hold the "QuickMount" button down. Slide the unit toward the windshield until the back top edge is making solid contact with the windshield.
- 6). If the programming options have been changed, they can be reset. Hold down the "CITY" and "BRT" buttons. Turn the unit on. This resets programming options to the factory defaults.
