13. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q. My radar device will not power up. What should I do?
A. Make sure the radar device is plugged into the power source and
that the power source has power. Also, check to see if the LED
light on the power plug is on and that the fuse in the power plug
is working. If the unit still does not power up, contact Decatur
Electronics.
Q. My radar device has poor range. How can I remedy this?
A. Make sure the range control is adjusted properly and verify that
no obstructions are in front of the antenna. If the antenna still
has poor range, increase the range (sensitivity) level. If this
problem continues, contact Decatur Electronics.
Q. Do the Decatur Electronics traffic safety radar devices interface
with in-car video systems?
A. Yes. Decatur’s traffic safety radar devices will interface with various
in-car video systems with an active communications (COM) port,
including the Decatur Electronics Responder 1000™ in-car video
system. Please call the Decatur Electronics sales staff to see which
video systems will work with your Decatur radar device.
Q. How often do I need to recertify my radar unit?
A. In the past, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
required that you check all devices with transmitters once a year
to guarantee that they are transmitting within the allowed band.
The FCC has since dropped this requirement. Now, most states
have set up their own standards to regulate the timing of radar
certification. Because each state has different requirements,
Decatur Electronics recommends that you check with your local
department policy.
Q. Does Decatur Electronics carry other law enforcement
products?
A. Yes, Decatur offers handheld radar units and a full line of OnSite™
radar speed and message trailers.
