Description of Features

Power-on Test Sequence

Each time your unit is turned on, alerts for Laser, X, K,

Ka and Safety Warning System™are presented briefly.

This is immediately followed by the status of the four

Selectable Features:

1. Auto Mute – a clicking tone confirms if feature is

engaged.

2. Safety Warning System®– illumination if the green

“S” LED confirms if feature is engaged.

3. X/K/Ka Bands – illumination of the appropriate LED

confirms if band is activated. Full illumination of four

signal strength LED, coupled with the illumination of

the Ka LED confirms Super Wideband Ka mode.

4. Ka Narrow Bands –With Super Wideband Ka turned

OFF, any Ka narrow frequency which is engaged is

confirmed by rapid flashing of appropriate signal

strength LED (see page 10).

Pressing PWR anytime during the power up test

sequence will suspend the normal power up test

sequence; your unit will be ready for operation.

Tutorial Mode

The tutorial mode allows you to become more

familiar with all audible and visual alerts. To engage

this mode, press the AUD and the CTY buttons

simultaneously while the unit is ON. The audio/visual

alerts will be presented slowly in order of Laser, K, X,

Ka and SWS™. The tutorial mode will cycle these

audio/visual alerts continuously. Press the P/V button

to exit. Two “beeps” confirm exiting from the tutorial

mode. Your unit is now ON and ready for operation.

Set and Forget Memory

Any time VECTOR LR Remote is turned OFF 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.

Low Voltage Warning

VECTOR LR Remote continually checks voltage to

ensure proper performance. The unit’s operating

range is 10.0 to 16.0 volts. If voltage falls below 10.0,

the highway (H) or city (C) indicator will flash,

coupled with a series of steady audible “beeps”.

Loss of Antenna Connection

In the event the control panel and Radar antenna are

not properly connected, the X/K/Ka band indicators

will flash, coupled with steady audible “beeps”.

Audio/Visual Alert for Instant-On/Pulsed Radar

This type of signal appears suddenly when a Radar

unit is “triggered”. The instant-on or pulsed alert

consists of an intense, three-second, X, K or Super

Wideband Ka audio “burst”, coupled with the flashing

of the four-LED display.

DRK (Bright/Dim/Dark) Button

The DRK button allows selection of a dim or dark setting

for all LEDS. To engage dim mode, press the DRK button

once. A single “beep” confirms your selection. To

completely cancel the illumination of all LEDS, press DRK

a second time. You’ll notice the city/highway LED remains

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 DIM

button does not affect audio alerts.

Important – if you press the DRK button and do not receive

audible confirmation, the audio level has been set too low.

AUD (Audio 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.

No audible alert will be heard for approximately 12

seconds. If the signal is still present after 12 seconds,

the unit will remain in manual mute mode.

Volume Control

Press and hold AUD button to engage the volume

control. Release the AUD button when you have reached

your desired audio setting. To reverse direction of the

volume, release and press AUD a second time.

Note – because Laser alerts are not lengthy or

sustained, muting is not required (see page 17).

CITY (City/Highway) Button

The City X mode has been designed to effectively

reduce unwanted audio alerts caused by intrusion

alarms, door openers, and other devices which share

X band with police Radar – without reducing

sensitivity. Signals from non-police Radar sources are

frequently encountered in urban and suburban areas,

making use of this mode ideal in these areas.

Pressing the CTY button once engages the City X

mode which is confirmed by a single “beep” and the

illumination of the yellow city LED labeled H/C. Once

engaged, weak X band signals encountered will

produce no audible alert until the signal strength

reaches a preset level. However visual alerts are

processed the instant an X band signal is detected,

keeping you quietly informed. Since most “false” X

band signals are weak, the use of the city node allows

you to drive out of their range before they reach

preset level and trigger a full audio alert. In contrast,

signals from X band traffic Radar are generally

stronger and will exceed the preset level, causing a

full X band audio alert.

Activating the City X mode will not change Super

Wideband Ka, K or instant-on X band Radar alert

patterns.

Note – the city mode has no effect on the reception

of Laser or SWS™.

City X/K/Ka

City X/K/Ka provides an alternate approach for

improving X, K and Ka band selectivity and is ideal

for use in areas with a high level of microwave

transmissions which can cause falsing on all three

bands. To engage City X/K/Ka mode, press the City

button twice. City X/K/Ka is confirmed by the

alternate flashing of the green/amber H/C LED for

one second. After the one second, the LED returns to

solid amber illumination.

Once engaged, weak X, K or Super Wideband Ka

signals encountered will produce no audible alerts until

the signal strength reaches a preset level. Visual alerts

are processed the instant an X, K or Super Wideband

Ka signal is detected, keeping you quietly informed.

Pressing CTY a third time returns you to highway mode;

two beeps and the illumination of the green H/C LED

confirms highway mode.

Reset to Factory Settings

You can reset your unit to factory settings for volume,

DRK, AUDIO, CITY and Selectable Features. With the unit

OFF press and hold the AUD and CTY buttons, then

press the PWR button. Two “beeps” will confirm factory

settings are reset. Your unit is now ON and ready for

operation.

Selectable Features

Auto-Mute, Safety Warning System®, X, K, Super

Wideband Ka ON/OFF and the four Ka Narrow frequencies:

33.8 GHz, 34.36 GHz, 34.7 and GHz, 35.5 GHz, are all

features that may be selected ON or OFF, depending

upon your preference.

Auto-Mute On/Off

When activated, unit will provide several X, K, Super

Wideband Ka audio alerts followed by a “clicking” tone

to keep you quietly informed for as long as the signal is

present. The clicking becomes more rapid as the

strength of the Radar signal increases. Auto-Mute

enables you to conveniently monitor extended

encounters without having to manually mute or adjust

the volume setting.

Note – because of their urgency, Laser alerts are not

affected.

With Auto-Mute off, unit will provide a continuous

series of X, K, Super Wideband Ka or Laser audio

alerts. This standard setting is often preferred when

background noise in a vehicle is loud. Factory setting

is Auto-Mute off. Auto-Mute ON is confirmed by the

FULL illumination of all 4 red LEDs in the signal

strength meter. Auto-Mute off is confirmed when the

same 4 red LEDs flash.

Safety Warning System®(SWS™) – LED#1

When activated, unit will detect signals from SWS™

transmitters and provide audio/visual warnings if

SWS™transmitters are in use. Factory setting is ON.

X Band On/Off – X BAND LED

When activated, unit will detect X Band signals

(10.456 GHz - 10.60 GHz).

K Band On/Off – K BAND LED

When activated, unit will detect K Band signals

(24.050 GHz - 24.205 GHz).

Super Wideband Ka On/Off – KA BAND LED

When activated, unit will detect Super Wideband Ka

signals (33.4 GHz - 36.0 GHz).

Ka Narrow Band (33.8 GHz) On/Off (LED#1)

When activated, unit will detect ONLY the 33.8 GHz

segment of the Ka bandwidth.
