    Default Bel 995 detector w/ scratch on the front

    straight out of box, ive seen that a bunch of people here have also noticed it. has anyone found a reason as to why it is scratched like that? so far performance has been stellar. does anyone know what bel has said about this?

    Tigger, my 995 came from Bel like that too. Call them and ask them for another radar/laser lens and they should give you one at no charge. 1-800-341-2288.

    How does the 995 come to you? In a case or... with plastic "tape" on the lens?

    It must be a qc thing because I purchased a new one from an authorized dealer and it was scratched. I took it back. They opened up the second box. Lens was scratched. She opened up a third box. Lens was scratched. I took the one with the smallest scratch. Bel needs to work on this problem. I think the mounting bracket is rubbing against the lens or something during shipment.

    yea I thought it might have been a qc thing, but I mean...why a scratch????? couldnt they have done something else? and as for the packaging...yes it probably could be better too.

    Default when

    When I 1rst got my 995 it came in a black case and had the scratch in it already. My last 995 came w/ a scratch in the same spot as well? Can anyone figure out why this is happening???

    hahahaha, none of us know, and Beltronics cant seem to really tell us. But like what Stryker had mentioned, Im leaning toward a quality control type of mark

    Mine came in the clear plastic packaging and the RD was sitting on top of the cardboard covered in plastic. Its hard to describe the way it came, but a lot small electronics come this way. All of the accessories were in the black soft case in the back of the package. No metal near the lens. :P
