    Red double beep. Sun?

    First morning commute with the new 5.1.1 firmware. Dual front setup. (Dual rear installed, not connected. Waiting on extender cords to arrive.)

    Was pointing directly at the sun and got a series of double beeps with the red LED. Happened on and off as I kept facing the sun. It was early morning so the sun was just over the horizon, right in my eyes.

    This stopped later after I turned away from the sun.

    Question 1: Sun interference?

    Question 2: I don't have HiFi. I noticed the volume of the beeps wasn't at the Laser alert volume I set (5) but rather the master (2). Is that normal? I'm guessing this is an error message, not a full alert.

    The Goal was to change the alerts for the sensor interference error and when all sensors on one side have interference it will give you a less alarming beeps instead of setting off the alarming full blast Error 2 message to let you know that the units receivers are being compromised. I have not experienced the scenario yet to confirm exactly what it now does but I will find out shortly.

    Oh, I very much like the "not full alert" volume of the error. I just wanted to make sure that was the intended behavior. GOOD to know!

    Does this sound like what I see around here as "Error 2"?

    Yes.... Two Beeps would be the Error 2 code which is used for sensor interference.

    Seriously, thank you... The level of support I get from this forum and the ALP users is astounding. Can't wait to get the rest of my ALP gear up and running.
