[. . . ] EXPRESS C o rd l e s s RADAR/LASER/SAFETY DETECTOR 2-AA BATTERY OPERATION X/K/SUPER WIDEBAND Ka DETECTION TOTAL TRACKING LASER TM (TTLTM) VG-2 GUARD ALERT SAFETY WARNING SYSTEMTM (SWSTM) MODEL 946 ® MOTORCYCLE ACCESSORIES INCLUDED INTRODUCTION To ensure maximum benefit from your EXPRESS Cordless, please read all instructions before operating your unit. 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. [. . . ] Adhere the soft portion of the enclosed hook and loop fastener to this area and the corresponding hard portion to the bottom of your unit. Remove the detector's cover by pressing on the raised dots and pushing outward. Store the cover in a safe place. q 11 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 visor nearest the windshield. q Windshield Mounting (Not recommended for Motorcycle use) 1. Remove the detector's cover by pressing on the raised dots and pushing outward. Clean the selected windshield area, position the suction-cup mount on the windshield, and press firmly on each suction cup to secure it in place. Use a screw driver or a small coin to adjust the suction-cup mount until the base plate is level. Slide detector onto base plate until it snaps into place. p Note--some vehicles have a plastic coating on the inside of the windshield designed to protect occupants in case of an accident. Use of the windshield bracket on this type of windshield can permanently mark the surface. Check with your dealer if you are unsure whether your vehicle is equipped with this type of windshield. 12 UNDERSTANDING RADAR, LASER AND SWS TM 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. 525 GHz K band: 24. 150 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 1987, FCC approval was given for 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. Today, EXPRESS Cordless detects the complete Super Wideband Ka frequency allotted for police monitoring--33. 4 to 36. 0 GHz. Total Tracking LaserTM (ttlTM) Unlike Radar signals, which are highly reflective, Laser signals have very poor reflective characteristics. Many of today's Laser detectors do not have the high sensitivity necessary to detect Laser within a large "field of view" Your EXPRESS Cordless . Twin Laser ports detect energy far outside the main Laser beam-- including off-axis signals--providing the largest achievable 360° "field of view" The alerts received by your unit are the . Note--the use of the pocket reflector will provide front Laser detection only. (R. A. D. A.
