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”.
Page 7
7
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).
Page 8
88
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.
Page 9
9
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.

Understanding Radar, Laser and SWS™
Three Radar Frequencies
Three microwave frequencies have been allocated by
the
FCC (Federal Communications Commission) and
are used for traffic Radar. They are:
X band: 10.45 - 10.60
GHz
K band: 24.050 - 24.250
GHz
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
19 87,
FCC approval was given for use of 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,
your
VECTOR LR Remote detects the entire Super
Wideband Ka frequency allotted for police monitoring
– 33.4 to 36.0
GHz, as well as four specific Ka
narrow frequencies.

Safety 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 transmitting
devices in areas such as construction zones, accident
sites and detours. Because these
SWS
™
transmitters
operate within the 24
GHz portion of the K band
frequency, their signals are detected by your unit.
Interpretation of Alerts
Radar Alerts
The alerts provided by your unit are affected both by
the type of transmission (continuous wave or instanton) and the position of the Radar source. Generally,
when you drive closer to a Radar source the intensity
of the received signals increases, resulting in a greater
number of
LEDs illuminating in the four-LED display
(l or r) and a corresponding increase in the audio
alert rate. Described on the following pages are five
common types of Radar encounters and the alerts
you will typically receive.
1. Stationary or moving Radar, straight ahead aimed in
your direction.
Page 14
14
Since Radar signals travel in a straight line, this Radar
encounter potentially offers maximum warning range.
Once this signal is received, the initial warning
consists of the X, K, or Super Wideband Ka audio
and visual alerts and the simultaneous illumination of
one or more of the
LEDs in the four-LED display. The
actual number displayed will depend upon the
strength of the signal received. As the strength of the
Radar signal increases, the audio alerts become more
rapid and more
LEDs in the display will illuminate.
Assuming the Radar signal remains uninterrupted, the
audio 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.
Page 15
15
3. Stationary Radar concealed by the crest of a hill
aimed in your direction.
Radar signals travel in a straight line and do not pass
through earth. Consequently, police Radar aimed at
the crest of a steep hill cannot be received until you
are at or near the top. Warning time may be minimal
(as in situation #2) since a strong signal is not
present until you are near the crest of the hill. At
this point, you may be nearly in the police officer’s
line of sight. When cresting a hill, a weak initial alert
followed by very quickly by a full alert is typical.
This alert pattern requires prompt attention.
4. Moving Radar behind you, traveling in the same direction.
Police Radar signal transmitted from behind your
vehicle can be received when reflected by objects in
front of you such as large signs, bridges and trucks.
As you drive, the size and configuration of these
objects are constantly changing, causing the strength
of any reflected Radar signal received to vary.
A strong, uninterrupted alert indicates the patrol
car is close behind.
Page 16
16
5. Instant-on/Pulsed Radar
If you are the target vehicle, an alert caused by
instant-on or pulsed Radar will be strong and
immediate. When encountered, your unit responds
with a three-second audio/visual warning.
Typical False Alert (Radar)
Ideally, a Radar detector should only alert in the
presence of police Radar. However, because other
devices share X and K bands with police Radar, false
alerts sometimes occur. Generally, a false signal
produces only a short audio and visual alert. Since they
are most often weak, it is possible to drive out of the
signal’s range very quickly and receive only a brief alert.
Although many times the probable source of the false
signal can be identified (supermarket, bank,
commercial building etc.), caution is advised until the
source can be confirmed. The X band alert pattern
caused by a non-police source can look like the initial
alert produced by actual police Radar. For this reason,
appropriate action is required any time an alert is
received.
Laser Alerts
When Laser is detected, the four-LED display will
illuminate in a distinct pattern. This illumination pattern
occurs rapidly and is coupled with the distinct Laser
audio alert.
If a vehicle is a long distance from the source of Laser
pulses, fewer pulses will generally be received. The closer
the vehicle is to the source of Laser pulses, the greater the
likelihood of receiving a steady stream of Laser pulses. The
reason for this is the aiming stability of the Laser gun and
the fact that it is impossible to hold the gun absolutely
still. Any movement of the gun results in motion of the
beam at the target. The further the target, the greater the
displacement if the beam and the shorter the dwell time of
the beam at the target point. Therefore, there is the
possibility of receiving only a few Laser pulses.
Page 17
17
Due to these characteristics, all Laser alerts received
from your unit should be taken seriously.
Safety Warning System®(SWS™) Alerts
With the Safety Warning System™feature ON and an
SWS
™
transmitter in use, your detector will provide a
unique, three-second, two-tone “beep” followed by
clicking, coupled with the flashing of the (
S) LED and
the appropriate
LED in the four-LED display. To select
SWS
™
ON or OFF, see Selectable Features, page 9.
LED #1 confirms Highway Construction/Maintenance
ahead
LED # 2 confirms Highway Hazard Zone Advisory
which could indicate an accident ahead
LED # 3 confirms Weather Related Hazards such
as fog ahead
LED # 4 confirms Emergency/Slow Moving Vehicles in
transit
When only the SWS
™
audio warning is provided, the
category referenced is Travel/Convenience Information
or the category is unknown.
Performance Verification
Conditions that Affect Radar Alerts
If you feel your unit is not alerting properly, keep in
mind that there are many conditions that influence the
intensity or duration of an alert:
1. The police are using instant-on/pulsed Radar, in which
case no signal is transmitted until visual contact has
been made with your vehicle. For detection of this
signal, you must rely on reflected signals from Radar
directed at traffic traveling ahead of you.
Page 18
18
2. The police Radar unit is positioned perpendicular to
the road, around a curve, or just over the crest of a
hill, thus, significantly reducing the reception range.
3. The highway traffic between your vehicle and the
police Radar source is heavy, blocking or reflecting
transmitted signals. The presence of several large
trucks between you and the police Radar unit could
also significantly reduce reception.
4. Rain or humid weather conditions can absorb
transmitted signals before they reach your vehicle,
again reducing detection range.
5. The police Radar unit is not properly tuned and is
transmitting outside allocated X, K or Super
Wideband Ka frequency ranges.
Conditions that Affect Laser Alerts
If you feel your unit is not properly alerting to the
presence of Laser signals, keep in mind that rain, fog,
high humidity and other weather conditions can
affect the range that the Laser beam can be detected.
