    Default false laser??

    ok so today me n a few friends were messing around going about 80 in a 55...right when i came around this corner my 9500ix went off and said it detected laser as soon as it hit i turned off and went behind a church. i never saw a cop pass by or hear lights come on...so i was wondering is there anyway you can get a false laser alert??

    You apparently didn't read the right part of the FAQ lol.

    lol you went behind a church lol!?



    18. What causes laser false alerts?

    Remember that laser is just light. Although you will rarely get a false alert on most laser jammers, there are several known sources of those false alerts:

    • Neon and LED lights - including those on autos, like third brake lights on the Chevy Envoy, Avalanche, and Trailblazer
    • HID headlights, usually only off-colour aftermarket HIDs
    • Adaptive cruise control - particularly that on Infinity cars
    • Toll plazas - usually as you are leaving the booth
    • Airports – collision avoidance system
    • Sunlight – sometimes when driving directly into the sunrise or sunset

    Sometimes there simply is no apparent reason for a false alert on your laser jammer. The Escort/Cincinnati Microwave ZR3 and ZR4 are the most prone to false alerts, with the Blinder and Laser Interceptors falsing much less frequently.
    I very regularly get false alerts on an Escort system from sunlight glinting off of chrome or mirrors on cars.
