Quick Reference Guide To begin using your V995, just follow these simple steps: 1 QuickMount Slot Insert the V995’s adjustable Windshield mount into this slot. Page 7 Plug the small end of the power cord into the side jack of the detector, and plug the large end of the power cord into your car’s lighter socket. QuickMount Button Press the button, and slide the Windshield mount into one of its four locking positions. Page 7 2 Mount your V995 on the windshield using the supplied windshield mount.
Installation Power Connection Mounting Location WARNING: BELTRONICS cannot anticipate the many ways the V995 can be mounted. It is important that you mount your V995 where it will not impair your view nor present a hazard in case of an accident. To power your V995, plug the small end of the power cord, (telephone-type connector) into the modular jack on the V995’s right side, and plug the lighter plug adapter into your vehicle’s lighter socket or accessory socket.
Controls and Features Power Voice Alerts To turn your V995 on or off, press the PWR button located on the top.When you turn your V995 on, it goes through a sequence of alerts. If you prefer, you may program your V995 for a shorter power-on sequence. See the Programming section for details. The V995 provides digital voice announcements of radar and laser bands detected. If Safety Radar (SWS) is turned on, a safety radar message will also be announced. See the Programming section for details.
Controls and Features Power Connector Audible Alerts The V995’s power jack uses a telephonetype connector.This 4-conductor connector only works with the included power cord, optional direct-wire, or SmartPlug cord. For more information or to order, call us toll-free at 1-800-341-2288. For Radar signals: Your V995 uses a Geiger-counter-like sound to indicate the signal strength and type of radar signal being encountered.
Programming Overview of Programming An example Here is how you would turn your V995’s AutoMute feature off. There are 7 user-selectable options so you can customize your V995 for your own preferences.The buttons labeled CITY and BRT are also used to enter the Program Mode, REVIEW your current program settings, and to CHANGE any settings as desired.The words PGM, RVW, and CHG are located on the top of the detector, and are highlighted in colored graphics. Pages 1416 explain each option in more detail.
Details of Programming Pilot (Power-on indication) Voice Pilot HWY (Full description) In this setting,V995 will display “Highway,” “City,” or “AutoScan” as its power-on indication. (factory default) Voice Off (Voice announcements off) In this setting, only the distinct audio tone will be heard when a radar, Laser, or SWS message is detected. Pilot H (Letter) In this setting,V995 will display “H” for Highway,“C” for City, and “A” for AutoScan.
Details of Programming Technical Details Features and Specifications Bands BandsDFT In this setting, all North American radar and laser frequencies are monitored.This is the factory setting and it is recommended that you use your V995 in this mode. Programmable Features • Power-On Indication • Voice Alerts • Power-On Sequence • Signal Strength Meter • AutoMute • City Mode Sensitivity • Radar / Laser Bands Operating Bands • X-band 10.525 GHz ± 25 MHz • K-band 24.150 GHz ± 100 MHz • Ka-band 34.
Technical Details Interpreting Alerts Although the V995 has a comprehensive warning system and this handbook is as complete as we can make it, only experience will teach you what to expect from your V995 and how to interpret what it tells you.The specific type of radar being used, the type of transmission (continuous or instant-on) and the location of the radar source affect the radar alerts you receive.
Technical Details How Radar Works Because intrusion alarms and motion sensors often operate on the same frequency as radar, your V995 will occasionally receive non-police radar signals. Since these transmitters are usually contained inside of a building, or aimed toward the ground, they will generally produce much weaker readings than will a true radar encounter.
Technical Details TSR Signal Ranking Software How Safety Radar Works Your radar detector includes a new optional boost in anti-falsing soft ware to eliminate excessive alerts from erroneous X and K-band sources. One example of this is traffic flow monitoring systems.These systems, which are becoming more widely used in several countries, generate K-band signals to measure the flow of traffic on a given road. Unfortunately most detectors see this as a real threat and will alert you to it unnecessarily.
Troubleshooting Problem Solution Problem Solution V995 beeps briefly at the same location every day, but no radar source is in sight. • An X or K-band motion sensor or intrusion alarm is located within range of your route.With time, you will learn predictable patterns of these signals. Your 14-year old son has changed all 7 of the Programming options. • You can return all of the programming options to the factory defaults by holding down the CITY and BRT buttons while you turn V995 on.
