Perform a tuning fork test

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

remote. Place the front antenna into transmit by pressing the raised Front

button. Place a ringing fork in front of the antenna. The radar will read the

speed marked on the tuning fork, within one mile per hour, in its red Target

speed display. 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. Alternately, you may place the radar into Tuning fork mode

to perform the test, as is detailed on page 24 of this manual.

Notice again that the radar gives two indications that it is operating in

stationary mode. Firstly, the Sta icon under the middle speed window is

lighted. Secondly, the Patrol window is filled with dashes, indicating that the

radar will not pick up a patrol speed. When you are in moving mode, the Mov

icon under the middle speed window is lighted, and there are no dashes in the

Patrol window.

Try locking in a speed.

This is a good time to try the lock function. Place a ringing fork in front of the

antenna again. While the readout is displaying a speed in the Target window,

press the remote’s Lock button. Note that the tuning fork’s speed is locked in

the middle window. Also, the T-lock icon, which is located directly under the

BEE III's middle window is lighted, designating that the speed in the middle

window is a locked target speed.

Every time that the lock button is pressed, the radar will transfer the speed in

the Target window over to the middle window. Also, if you place the radar

into Standby, the operating mode at the time the speed was locked will be

displayed in the Mode window.

To clear a locked speed, press either the Front or Rear antenna button. This

will clear the locked speed regardless of whether or not there is a target speed

displayed in the Target window.

Locked speeds are also erased in other ways. If the radar is placed into

Standby, the locked speed is preserved, but if the BEE III is then made to

transmit again, the locked speed is cleared. (This is an IACP requirement.)
