bodership fhrough lrmodon and Techrdogy @

To ensure maximum benefit from your unit, please read the
entire manual before operating your detector.
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 North America governing the use of a Radar
detector. It is your responsibility to follow these laws.

EXPRESS 906 operates in any vehicle with a 13.8 volt DC negative ground

system.

Each tmte your unit is turned on, an automatic test sequence follows. This test consists of the
illumination of all LEDs followed by the sounding (in order) of the Laser, Ka, K, X and Safety

Warning Systemm alerts

Tutorial Mode

‘Ihe Tutorial mode allows you to become more familiar with all audible and visual alens To
engage thii mode, press and hold CTY, then press AUD when the unit is OFF The unit will cycle
continuously through audio/visual alerts for Laser, Ka, K, X and VG-2 Guard@ Alert as well as

ies. To exit tutorial mode, press the PN button and your unit wll

Adjwting the Audio Level

Once your umt has completed the self-test, the audio level can be adjusted by pressing and

holding the P/V button. As you hear the audio level change, the 4.LED display provides a visual
reference of the audio level. To reverse the drection in which the audio cycles, bnefly release,

then hold down the P/V button again.

DRK (Dim/Dark) Button

AUD (Audio Mute) Buttp (Radar and SWS”)

-“.

The ALJD button provides three settings:

Continuous Audio, Automatic Mute

and

Manual Mute.

Continuous Audio:

Your unit has been preset at the factory to provide continuous XIWKa audio

alerts. This standard setting is often preferred when background noise in a vehicle is loud.

Automatic Mute

Press the AUD button once when the unit is recewing NO alerts to engage

Automatic Mute mode. The alert pattern when this mode is activated consists of several X/K or Ka

alerts followed by a “clicking” tone which will momtor the duration of the slgnal encounter. As the
signal increases m mrens~ty, the “clicking” tone will become mire rapid. Automatic Mute mode
enables you to conveniently monitor extended encounters without having to manually mute or
adjust the volume setting. To return to the audio alert mode, press the AUD button a second time
(while the unit is not alerting).

Manual Mute

Regardless of the AUD mode selected (continuous or Automatic), the audio alerts
can be completely muted by pressing the AUD button during an alert. Once the alert has passed,
the unit will revert to the previous AUD setting (continuous or automatic mute)

CTY (City/Highway) Button

The CTY button is designed to reduce the number of alerts received from unwanted s~wces such
as door alarms, intrusion alarms and other devices which share X band wth pohce radar. Signals
from non-police Radar sources are frequently encountered in urban and suburban areas, making

use of this mode ideal in these areas.
Press CTY once to engage the city mode. With CT?’ engaged, no audible alert will be heard until

nal strength reaches a preset level. Visual alerts, however, will be processed the instant an X

~gnal is detected, keeping you quietly informed.

‘ng CTY mode will not change K or Super Wideband Ka alert patterns. Detection of even

,,,

rhe weakest K or Super Wtdeband Ka signals will result m Immediate audio and visual alerts. In
addition, reception of Instant-On X band Radar produces the speclal Instant-On alert

Do not mount your unit directly behind wmdsh~eld wipers or mirrored sunscreens which block
Radar and Laser signals and substantially reduce warning range. Unlike “after market” mirrored

sunscreens,

regular tinted glass does not affect Radar reception. Radar signals are also reflected by
the “heated windshield” known as InstacleaF and Electricleaig available as an option on some
vehicles, making any detector ineffective If in doubt, check with an appropriate dealership to see

if this applies to your vehicle.

TO achieve optimum performance, regardless of which mounting position you choose, follow these
basic steps:

I. Consider occupant safety when selecting a mounting location. Choose a location where the

it will not be hazardous in case of an accident.
r optimum detection, position your unit with a

clear,

unobstructed view of the road from

front and rear.

3. Do not allow the unit to make contact with the windshield This will eliminate unnecessary
vibration.

4. AvoId placmg your unit in direct sunlight. During the summer, interior temperatures of an
enclosed vehicle can sometimes reach temperaturea that will cause premature aging of the
unit.

5. Your detector IS not waterproof; exposure to water may cause damage

Dash Mouna&

1. Select an area that is relatwely level, clean and dry Adhere the soft portion of the enclosed
hook and loop fastener to this area and the correspondmg hard portion to the bottom of
your unit

2. Fasten unit to dash by placing hook and loop prces together

Visor Mounting

1. Remove the detector’s cover by pressing on the raised dots and pushmg outward. Store the

COW3

2 Slide the visor clip onto the top of the detector until it snaps into place. Clip the detector to

the edge of the sun wsor nearest the windshield

Windshield Mounting

1. Remove the detector’s cover by pressq on the raised dots and pushing outward.

2. Clean the selected windshield area, position the suction-cup mount on the windshield and
press Firmly on each suction cup to secwe it m place.

3.

Use a screw driver or small coin to adjust the suction-cup mount until the base plate is level.
