My Escort 8500 does the same thing - I`ve been told that it has something to do with the voltage supplied to the unit. Apparently putting a line filter on the 12v in will fix it.

Mr. Devil, how old is the unit? It`s likely the "choke" has failed.

I had alternator problems once that would cause laser to go off. Apparently, they`re really sensitive to power supply fluctuations.

Laser ALWAYS goes off with my Valentine 1 due to late model Infiniti FX, QX, and M cars and their laser-guided cruise control/lane departure warning. It is quite annoying.



Other than that, no false signals.





Devilsown: Not sure why yours is doing this.
