Bel RX65 pro problem
Hi
I am using Bel rx65 pro for 1 year + now and now i have this problem...........
sometimes it shows "selfcal" massage for few times and few min later it will shows "service require" and beeping ....
Can anyone tell me what wrong with the unit... anything i can do.... it is out of warranty. Please help. CHeers.
Chances are there is nothing you can do except call Beltronics and talk to a representative about the message. They will have you send it in for a fee. You MAY get lucky because I've read about people getting theirs fixed slightly out of warranty for free. Also, it is always worth a shot to reset the detector. Hold in the two right buttons and press the power button. This will erase all of your settings, but hey it's worth a shot and you'll lose your settings sending it in to them anyways. It's no big deal. Like I said, you will most likely end up sending it in for a fee.
mem-tek gave the suggestion of opening it up and tightening the screws that hold down the horn. it may help you as well. one member seems to be doing well so far http://www.radardetector.net/viewtopic.php?t=30616

Just throw it in the trash.....that's really where it belongs. I'm highly disappointed in Bel's quality.Originally Posted by siongchuang
I just tried the "tightening up the screws" in mine and they were all real tight already....didn't help.
I had my v995 just returned to me today...I sent it in on 10/3/07. I bought it on in Aug of 06. It was fixed for free minus the S/H I paid. Bel said they honor the warranty up to 14 months.. So give them a call.
Me too..... I have done the same thing which they advice..... still the same problem...... Have any one have other suggestion or it is because of some component faulty....
I am think of touch up on the solder using solder iron and clean all the cantact surface of the anttena using special pcb cleanner.... Will let you all know the outcome.....
Re: Bel RX65 pro problem
angry with bel
i fell it does belong to trash!
my buddy uses v1 and has been for years! no problems at all! maybe few more faults. i have the same problem and think this is a scam on their behalf to program this units to go bad after a year. mine was working fine in august then it sat in a glove compartment for a couple of months and out of the blue: service required!
this is crap. plus the range on this unit was so bad that i could see leo first before this thing went of.
try resetting it or search for some firmware download and do it yourself. i am trying to find it as well. if i do i will post.
Re: Bel RX65 pro problem
Well I had a V1 for years and thought I'd try something new; it was new alright---for about 9 months and then came the constant "selfcal" message followed by "service required". I mean I wouldn't be surprised if I bought it at Wal-Mart for $50, but a high-end Bel? I grew concerned when I discovered this site after I bought it and saw all the problems, oh well, live and learn. My new V1 arrived yesterday and I'm in love all over again....
