Beltronics Rx65 Firmware
Works good, just plug and pray (lol). Psp 2000 Software Update. I have been using it cautiously as I get used to its responses where I live. So far, I am very pleased. I find most cops just leave there radar on while driving (not all though). And I need to pay attention when the detector goes off (hilly roads). Dell Dimension 9200 Audio Driver Windows 7 more. The laser detector gets some false hits though.
I haven't quite figured that out, but I think it may be at the tops of certain hills, which could be interference from some microwave/comms links (some internal signals interference with the circuits). But I didn't expect a lot out of the laser detector anyhow (due to general detector research).
• 3 Answers SOURCE: I have the same problem. I chatted with Bel and here's the transcript, FYI: Welcometo Beltronics.! An online representative will be with you shortly. Youare number 1 in the queue. Your wait time will be approximately 1 and 9seconds. Thank you for waiting.
Beltronics Radar Forum. Where does one get the cable to update the firmware. The RX65 doesn't have a USB port so it cannot be updated by the customer. Welcome to the official Beltronics Radar Forum. How can I tell what firmware vs I. Software is the main difference but in order to get a RX65 Euro you have to.
You are now chatting with 'Brian' Brian: Welcome to Beltronics Live Chat. How may I assist you today?
You: Hi Brian, I you: own a Bel pro rx65 you: and it gave an error you: that said you: selfcal4 you: or something like that you: then it said service you: required you: what does this mean? Brian: Thereare a number of things that may cause this ERROR message. Please besure that you are getting consistent voltage (does the lighter socketstay ON all the time?
Does it do the same thing in other vehicles?). If the display reads 'Service Required' not caused by the above, itmeans it has failed it's self-calibration and requires service. Pleasecall our Customer Service Department at 800-341-2288 and they will giveyou a repair authorization number and instructions on how to return itto us so we can take a look at your detector. You: Oh i see.
What's the cost for repair? Brian: That is a $59.95 repair fee. To set that up, please call Customer Service at 800-964-3138, option 2. You: and what cause calibration to fail? Brian: If the reasons listed above don't sound like what's happening, then it would be up to a repair tech to figure out why.
You: I had left it in the car in hot weather. Would this be a cause? Brian: It's possible, over a long time in the heat to develop. You: I can call either number correct? Brian: Correct. You: ok thanks I called the number and they were helpful, told me to use a packing service like UPS and such. And it would take about 5-7 days for them to work on it, another 3-4 days of shipping time.
Considering the reviews on the rx65 and the prices for detectors out there, and considering that they will also apply any software updates (bought mine in '06) the $60 repair fee is worth it for me. Posted on Jun 28, 2010.
I'm pretty sure that this is caused by a failed internal capacitor, and that this probably was caused by a sudden voltage spike while starting your car. You will have to send your RX65 to Bel/Escort for repair. While they are at it, they will also upgrade your RX65's firmware to whatever their latest firmware version is, even though the firmware version displayed on your RX65 won't be different when you get it back. Also, I always power my RDs on after I have started my car. This avoids the possibility of sudden voltage spikes damaging my RDs. Mar 25, 2009 .
Have you tried doing a factory reset of the firmware as described in the user manual? To do this, first power off your RX65 using its power button. Then hold down the two buttons which are used to enter Program Mode and, while holding down these two buttons, press the Power button again. Release all three buttons when the word 'Reset' is displayed on the LED display.
