LabRadar HELP

Sometimes I can't power it up again so I unplug the small usb and plug it back in.

Just a shot in the dark here, but do you get the same results outside?

Most likely you just need to change the trigger mode as previously suggested. To those making 110v comments are you new to USB? The USB adaptor has a transformer/rectifier in it. This has been this way for a couple of decades now? You are not getting 110v from a 110v adapter to USB. It is converted from 110v ac to 5v dc.

I know the LR has some fairly well defined power requirements. I don't know off hand what those blocks put out. I've never heard of anyone doing it that way.

No kidding........He said he connected "directly to an outlet" but I see where he mentioned using the supplied USB cord now.

I think he only is in his living room as he just received it?

Thank you all. I gave LR a call and the rep said to change it to trigger mode. He said when in doppler mode it is sending signals and reflecting off of items inside my house; therefore, causing the blinking orange light. I armed the unit in trigger mode, and the orange light is staying solid. I think I'm good to go.

5v, 2.1a is labradars battery spec-- too many amps or volts and it can damage the unit-- check your 110 wall adapter to see what it's output is

I just checked that's standard output for a usb wall adapter also.
sounds like he's got it figured out.

No, I haven't gone to the range yet. I was in my living just fiddling with the radar. I went thru the settings, put it on a stand, pointed it at a wall that was 15 yards away, armed it. The orange light comes on solid for a few seconds and then it starts to blink. It is recording shots on its own in my living room. In settings I have it set with to use doppler and arm time of 300 seconds. I tried the trigger setting and no blinking orange light when armed. Looks like doppler setting is the only setting that is giving me the blinking orange light when armed.

I have the JKL trigger. I haven't gone to the range yet. Just received the radar and trigger yesterday.

LL! Sorry, my bad.

Do all "wall warts" convert to 5v dc? I've got several warts floating around the house from different sources. Not sure if they are all interchangeable.

USB is a standard. Obviously over the years there have been "upgrades"/ "updates". I would also personally stay away from cheap Chinese junk but one should theoretically the same as the next. USB C and Apples Lightning are no different in principal. They should all be the same voltage. Amperage is not a delivery in the same sense that voltage is. The amperage will be what the load is. The maximum amperage of each will be different. They are also data delivery capable and that throughput will vary by the standard/cable/adapter.

Not true-- up to 48volts are all common in the fast charger world-- they use the same USB input/output compati

I am not sure how to word it differently but see my comment on updates/upgrades over the years? Within each version the specs will be the same. Your post did not list a standard but companies doing their own thing.

Here are the usb standards.

Do you know the four ways to charge a mobile device using USB? We cover USB Battery Charging, USB Power Delivery (PD) and other Fast Charging Standards.

If you are plugging a usb to usb c cable into a usb adapter it must meet the standard. It MAY provide the ability to do more. In the case of the latter the device will dictate the delivery. The same goes for usb to lightning. This is why you will not typically get the "fast charging" from a usb adapter to a device that supports fast charging. Also the same concept with data throughput.
