Note—some vehicles have a plastic coating on the inside of the windshield designed to protect occupants in case of an accident. Use of the windshield bracket on this type of windshield can permanently mark the surface. Check with your dealer if you are unsure whether your vehicle is equipped with this type of windshield. kVisor Mounting 1. Remove the two suction cups and follow steps 1, 2, 4 and 5. 2. Clip the detector to the edge of the sun visor nearest the windshield. kFuse Replacement If the fuse has blown, remove the tip from the lighter plug followed by the old fuse. Replace the fuse with a 1-amp, 3AG fuse. Defeating the fuse protection can damage your unit or your vehicle’s electrical system and will void your warranty. Note—the tip is in two pieces; be careful not to lose either piece or the spring inside the holder. (See diagram below). 16 Understanding Radar, Laser and SWS™ kThree Radar Frequencies Three microwave frequencies have been allocated by the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) and are used for traffic Radar. They are: •X Band: 10.525 GHz •K Band: 24.150GHz •Super Wideband Ka: 33.4 GHz to 36.0 GHz Both X and K bands are well known to motorists who have traveled with Radar detectors. Introduced first was X band Radar which became common during the 1960s. In the mid 1970s the lower powered, more difficult to detect K band Radar was introduced. In 1987, FCC approval was given for Radar equipment using a third frequency, Ka. In response to this, BELTRONICS introduced the first Radar detectors capable of detecting X, K and Ka Band signals. In late 1990, FCC approval was given to Wideband Ka: 34.2 GHz to 35.2 GHz. Once again, BEL responded with Wideband Ka detection. Today, BEL’s VECTOR SERIES detects the complete Super Wideband Ka frequency allotted for police monitoring–33.4 GHz to 36.0 GHz. kTotal Tracking Laser™ (TTL™) Unlike Radar signals, which are highly reflective, Laser signals have very poor reflective characteristics. Many of today’s Laser detectors do not have the high sensitivity necessary to detect Laser within a large “field of view”. Your unit incorporates BEL’s number one rated Laser detection. Twin Laser ports detect energy far outside the main Laser beam—including off-axis signals—providing the largest achievable 360° “field of view.” The alerts provided by your unit are the same whether signals are received from the front or rear. kSafety Warning SystemSafety Warning System® (SWS™)—What is it? The Radio Association Defending Airwave Rights, Inc. (R.A.D.A.R.) conceived and developed the Safety Warning System®. The concept behind this system is to warn motorists of potential road hazards by employing Safety Warning System® transmitters in areas such as construction zones, accident sites and detours. These SWS™ transmitters operate within the 24 GHz portion of the K band frequency, and broadcast uniquely coded signals that are detected by your unit. Interpretation of Alerts kRadar Alerts The alerts provided by your unit are affected both by the type of transmission (continuous wave or instant- on), and the position of the Radar source. Generally, when you drive closer to a Radar source, the intensity of the received signal increases, resulting in the increase of the number of bar graph segments as well as numerical digit 1 11- --9 99 (Model V960 only) and a corresponding increase in the audio alert rate. Described below are five common types of Radar encounters and the alerts you will typically receive. 1. Stationary or moving Radar, straight ahead or aimed in your direction Since Radar signals travel in a straight line, this Radar encounter potentially offers maximum warning range. Once the signal is received, the initial warning consists of an X, K or Super Wideband Ka audio 18 alert coupled with simultaneous identification of the Radar band (X, K or Ka) and signal strength in the Text Display. The number of bar graph segments displayed depends upon the strength of the signal received. As the strength of the Radar signal increases, the audio alert becomes more rapid and the bar graph will display the maximum number of five segments indicating maximum signal strength. Assuming the Radar signal remains uninterrupted, the audible and visual alerts will clearly indicate a “weak” signal becoming stronger as you drive closer to the Radar source. Remember, when the police Radar source is moving toward you, the Radar signal strength will increase much more rapidly than if you are approaching a stationary source. 2. Stationary Radar aimed around a corner Under this circumstance, reaction time is considerably reduced. Since the Radar signals are transmitted across your line of travel, there is generally no signal available to receive until you are relatively close to the source. Once an alert is received, expect the strength of the signal to increase very quickly. Advanced warning in this situation may be reduced. 19 3.
