FAQ
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Are there any safety issues with using the BLINDER Units?
Do not look directly into the BLINDER M27 / M47 with the naked eye at close range. You won’t see anything, but you might cause eye damage after prolonged exposure as the BLINDER M27 / M47 emits high-power infra-red (IR) light, which is not visible to the human eye.PARKING SENSOR MODE – Always be aware and watch for hidden objects near the car such as children and animals that may not be detected by the system. Please use common sense and visually survey in all parking situations and do NOT rely 100% on the Park Assist feature. Visual observation is always the safest way to use parking sensor systems.IMPORTANT: While the system is in parking mode, the laser unit will NOT respond to any incoming laser pulses!
Why is the BLINDER X-TREME series better than previous models and competitor products?
BLINDER X-TREME (X series) is a significant technological leap ahead of the BLINDER 25 & 45 models. New laser emitters have been developed and included in the X-series that are far more powerful than previous models. The X-series has higher performance at detecting incoming laser emissions while at the same time reducing the possibility of background interference from normal sunlight. Upgrade your BLINDER 25 & 45 models and take advantage of these technological advances.
I own a radar detector that is capable of detecting laser speed guns. Why should I buy a laser jammer?
No radar detector will give you enough time to react and slow down before a speed reading is calculated and displayed on the laser speed gun or speed camera. Without a laser jamming function, “Your Goose is Cooked.”Radar is being used less and less for speed detection. In a few more years radar will no longer be used for speed detection. Laser systems offer much better technology for differentiating speeding cars in heavy traffic and don’t get easily confused by bouncing reflections as is the case with radar. Radar detectors are history!
Will laser jammer systems work best in full daylight or at night?
Infrared light is also part of the normal spectrum of sunlight. The brighter the day, the more infrared light is scattered about which jammer circuitry needs to content with. It is therefore true that all laser jammers will work best in lower light conditions due to the absence of the sun.
What is the range of the system in parking sensor mode?
The parking sensor is a close proximity warning system. The BLINDER system will detect different objects with uneven effectiveness depending on the color of the object. Bright objects reflect much better compared to dark, and will therefore allow earlier detection and warning. The BLINDER system will not detect and alert on glass or other transparent materials. Be especially cautious when parking close to shop windows and similar transparent objects.Always be aware and watch for hidden objects near the car such as children and animals that may not be detected by the system. Please use common sense and visually survey in all parking situations and do NOT rely 100% on the Park Assist feature. Visual observation is always the safest way to use parking sensor systems.IMPORTANT: While the system is in parking mode, the laser unit will NOT respond to any incoming laser pulses!
Are the CPU and Transponder units waterproof?
The transponder units are water proof and are designed to be placed on the exterior of the vehicle. This is not true for the CPU module which is designed to be installed in a dry cool area such as the interior of the vehicle. Follow the installation instructions carefully so you do not void your warranty.
Can I use a BLINDER Laser System on a motorcycle?
Yes, you can use a BLINDER Laser System on a motorcycle. The only thing you need to remember is that the CPU is not water proof, so it must be enclosed in a water tight enclosure to avoid water damage and warranty problems.
I bought a BLINDER M25 a while ago. Can I use the replacement parts from the X-TREME series in my M25?
No, the technological upgrades make the two systems incompatible. The X-TREME series transponders and CPU cannot be used in the BLINDER M25 or BLINDER M45.
I bought a BLINDER M27, can I purchase a third transponder and convert my system into a three transponder system?
Yes, it is possible to purchase a third or fourth transponder and connect this to a BLINDER M27
Which LIDAR speed measuring equipment has the BLINDER been tested against?
We have a very thorough list of all LIDAR equipment used in each country and the BLINDER models have been tested against all of these units.
