Check you don't have any devices with Infra Red turned on etc - make sure the IR function is turned off on your Pocket PC also.

The IR function on the Pocket PC believe searches every now and again - and could affect the Laser Detection module.

(E.g. if you point a Nokia 6310i at the Laser Module, and goto Games/Snake/2 Player/Join Game - it sets the Laser Alert off!!)

I have an Origin B2.

When I drive towards London on the M4 just after junction 3 just before the bus lane starts I always get about three or four long blasts of the laser warning. I can rely on it. Sometimes if I'm trying to listen to the radio I have to pop the B2 out of its cradle to shut it up. I've no idea what causes it. I can't see anything there that could cause it.

Also had spurious laser alerts on the B2, and sadly also got caught by a hand held gun (doing 35 in a 30) with no alert at all. You can spot cameras, but these hidden vans with people sitting in the back with guns are not seemingly detected at all!!
