User Manual

Also, locked speeds are automatically cleared 15 minutes after they are locked

to preserve the integrity of the evidence. The automatic clearing is preceded by

a 30 second countdown if the BEE is in Standby to inform the officer of the

imminent clearing of the display so the officer can record the speed before it is

erased.

A double click of the lock button will also clear the lock window.

Perform moving mode tuning fork tests

Place the BEE III into moving mode by pressing the Mov/Sta button on the

remote. If the radar is not in opposite direction moving mode, press the

Opposite button. Turn the transmitter on to the front antenna by pressing the

raised Front button. Strike the lower frequency fork on a hard nonmetallic

surface and hold the ringing fork in a fixed position two or three inches in front

of the antenna with the narrow edge of the fork facing the antenna. The speed

will be shown in the patrol window. You may have to move the tuning fork

gently toward and away from the antenna in order to get the radar to read it

properly. This is because a tuning fork vibrates both toward and away from the

radar, and the radar is expecting to see a target moving either toward it or away

from it, but not both directions at once. While continuing to hold the ringing

fork in place, strike the other fork and hold it next to the patrol speed fork.

Both forks must be vibrating while being held an equal distance from the

antenna. The radar should display the difference between the forks as the

target speed. For example, for forks marked 35 mph and 65 mph, the patrol

would read 35 (low speed fork) and the target would read 30 (high-speed fork

minus low speed fork).
