CONGRATULATIONS!

SOFTWARE UPGRADABLE

SHADOW TECHNOLOGY®II

Thank you for purchasing one of BEL’s VECTOR SERIES

Radar/Laser/Safety Detectors. BEL’s VECTOR SERIES

offers Driver Selectable Features, Digital Voice, Text

Messages and the best possible X, K and Super Wideband

Ka radar sensitivity available. Enjoy your new detector and

be sure to obey all laws where ever you may travel.

Remember, owning a Radar detector does not give you a

license to speed. Alerts from a Radar detector serve as an

effective reminder to check your speed. Laws vary

throughout the USA governing the use of a Radar

detector. It is your responsibility to follow these laws.

VECTOR 960 and VECTOR 940 contain Flash Technology

which provides the highest capability to be reprogrammed

as the threat of new police traffic radar monitoring

technologies emerge. Please ensure that you promptly

send in your Consumer Information card. This will ensure

you are notified about new traffic monitoring technologies

as they emerge.

VECTOR 960 and VECTOR 940 contain Shadow

Technology® II making them undetectable to the

Interceptor VG-2 Radar Detector Detector.

Getting Started

Power-Up Test Sequence/Start-Up Mode

Using the supplied straight or coiled power cord,

place the end with the “elbow” shaped jack into the

receptacle on the side of the detector; the opposite

end of the cord connects to the cigarette barrel. Plug

the cigarette barrel into your vehicle’s cigarette plug, or the

secondary receptacle if your vehicle is so equipped. Press

the PWR button to turn the unit ON. Depending upon the

Operating Mode selected, the power up test sequence and

confirmation of Radar/Laser/SWS™alerts will be relayed to

you as follows:

NNOORRMMAALL(Factory Pre-Set Mode)

A lengthy, power up test sequence that displays audio

and text messages for Laser, Ka, K, X and Safety

Warning System®(SWS™) followed by the status of

the General Selectable Features each time the unit is

turned on. When complete, unit is ready for

operation and will display Radar, Laser and SWS™

messages when signals are detected. Normal Mode is

recommended when first using your VECTOR 985.

MMOODDSS(Modifications Mode)

Presents audio and text messages for Laser, Ka, K, X

and Safety Warning System®(SWS™), followed by

ONLY those General Selectable Features which have

been modified by the user from their Factory pre-set

state each time unit is turned on. Unit is ready for

operation and will display Radar, Laser and SWS™

messages when signals are detected.

QQ--SSTTAARRTT(Quick-Start Mode)

Unit will bypass the power up test sequence and will

display the last selected traveling mode:“

AAuuttooSSccaann™

”

(factory default) “

HHiigghhwwaayy

”, “

CCiittyyXX

” or “

CCiittyy

AALLLL”.

Q-Start is recommended when you are comfortable

with the detector and do not require a rundown of

sample messages. Unit is ready for operation and will

display Radar, Laser and SWS™messages when

signals are detected.

TTEECCHHMODE (VECTOR 960 only)

Presents audio and text messages followed by the

display of the ACTUAL frequency of the received

radar bandwidth and Laser. Unit is ready for

operation and will display Radar, Laser and SWS™

messages – including actual frequencies – when

signals are detected.

Sample alerts while operating in Tech Mode:

Laser Alert: “LLAASSEERR990000NNMM”

X Band Alert: “XXBBAANNDD” followed by “1100..552255”

K Band Alert: “KKBBAANNDD” followed by “2244..115500”

Ka Band Alert: “KKaaBBAANNDD” followed by any

frequency between 3333..44––3366..00GGHHzz.

Whichever Operating mode you select, VECTOR 960 and

VECTOR 940 will be in standby mode and ready to

detect traffic Radar, Laser and SWS™signals. The display

will show “

AAuuttooSSccaann™

” (factory pre-set which is suitable

for ALL driving conditions, unless you change this to

“

HHiigghhwwaayy

”, “

CCiittyyXX

”, or “

CCiittyy

AALLLL” (see page 9).

TUTORIAL MODE

The Tutorial Mode allows you to become more familiar

with all audible and visual alerts. The message

“

”

appears in the display followed by the

audio and corresponding Text Message for

”

Sample 2

“

HHIIGGHHWWAAYYWWOORRKKCCRREEWWAAHHEEAADD

display once AUD is pressed. Pressing the AUD button

a second time will allow you to listen to the SWS™

message while viewing it in the display. (to move

forward in the list, press the CTY button; to move

backward in the list, press the DRK button). Continue

the steps above to play all 60 SWS™ messages.

Note: sample radar and SWS™messages are random.

Note:

VECTOR 940

provides Digital Voice and Text Messages for the FIVE SWS

™

categories only and NOT the individual messages for each category. For example,

“

MMSSGG11

”

will play the category,

HHiigghhwwaayyCCoonnssttrruuccttiioonn//MMaaiinntteennaannccee

. This

heading will play for all 11 messages. Refer to the enclosed card for the other

category messages.

To exit Tutorial Mode, press the PWR button and

your unit will be on and ready to receive signals.

Set and Forget Memory

Any time your unit is turned off or unplugged from the

cigarette lighter socket, all feature settings you have

selected are retained in the unit’s memory. Set and

Forget Memory eliminates the need to reset your

preferred feature settings each time your unit is

turned off and then back on.

Reset to Factory Settings

You can reset your unit to factory settings for Start-Up

mode, volume, DRK, AUD, CTY and General Selectable

Features. To reset, press and hold the CTY button until

the display shows “RREESSEETT“.Two “beeps“ will sound and

your unit will cycle through the NNOORRMMAALLStart-Up

Mode.

DRK (Bright/Dim/Dark) Button

The DRK button allows selection of a bright, fully

adjustable dim or dark mode. Your unit is factory

preset to full bright display. To engage dim mode,

press and hold the DRK button. The display will

cycle through various levels of dim illumination.

Release the button at your chosen level. To engage

dark mode, press the DRK button a second time. A

single “beep” coupled with the brief illumination of

“

“

”

(Highway

dim to confirm your unit is receiving power. To

return to a full bright setting, press the DRK button

a third time; two “beeps” confirm this selection. Use of

the DRK button does not affect audio alerts.

Important—if you press the the DRK button and do not

receive audible confirmation, the audio level has been set

too low.

AUD (Auto-Mute/Volume Control) Button

Manual Muting of Audio Alerts

(Radar and SWS™)

Whether Auto-Mute is selected on or off in Selectable

Features, the audio alerts can be completely muted by

pressing the AUD button during an alert. The display will

briefly show

“

QQUUIIEETT

”

. No audible alert will be heard as

long as the signal is present. The unit will remain in manual

mute mode for approximately 12 seconds from the last

received alert.

Note—because Laser alerts are not lengthy or sustained,

muting is not required (see page 21)

Volume Control

Press and hold the AUD button to engage the

volume control; the volume will cycle high to low.

Release the AUD button when you have reached

your desired audio setting.

CTY (City/Highway) Button

2. Highway Mode

3. City X Filtration Mode

4. City X/K/Ka Filtration Mode

AutoScan™ Mode:

VECTOR 960 and VECTOR 940 are factory shipped

with AutoScan™engaged. Autoscan™is designed to

automatically adjust sensitivity to X and K Band Radar

whatever your driving environment. Whether driving in

densely populated urban areas or “wide open” rural

areas, AutoScan™will automatically reject virtually all
