Power-Up Test Sequence

Each time your detector is turned ON, audio and Text Messages

for Laser, Ka, K, X and Safety Warning System®(sws™) are

presented. After this sequence, the status of Selectable

Features is displayed: “SWS on”, “SWS off”, “VG-2 on”,

“VG-2 off”, “SWSvoice”, “SWSclick”, ”VOICEon”,

“VOICEoff” (see page 9). If your unit displays information

other than this standard power-up test sequence, return it to

BELTRONICS for servicing. To bypass the power-up test

sequence, press the P/Vbutton during the Power up test

sequence.

Tutorial Mode

The tutorial mode allows you to become more familiar with

all audible and visual alerts. To engage this mode, press and

hold CTY, then press AUD while the unit is OFF. The message

“TUTORIAL” appears in the display followed by the audio and

corresponding Text Message for “LASER”, “Ka AUDIO”, “K

AUDIO”, “X AUDIO”,”VG-2 Alert,” sample Radar alert (K

band signal ramping from weak to strong) and “SAFETY

WARNING SYSTEM SAMPLE ALERTS”. Three sample sws™

messages are then presented in the display along with the

corresponding Digital Voice Message:

Sample 1 “ACCIDENT AHEAD”

Sample 2 “HIGHWAY WORKCREW AHEAD”

Sample 3 “POLICE IN PURSUIT”

Anytime during Tutorial Mode (except Safety Warning System®

DESCRIPTION OF FEATURES

sample alerts) press CTY or AUD to move forward or backward

through the alerts. During sws™sample alerts press CTY to

move forward in the sws™message list. “MSG 1”will appear

initially in the display confirming your selecion. Pressing the

AUD button allows you to listen to the sws™message while

viewing it in the display. Press the CTY button again to step to

the next message; press the AUD button to review, and so on.

This allows you to review all 60 messages.

To exit Tutorial Mode, press the P/Vbutton and your unit

will be ON and ready to receive signals.

Memory Retention of Feature Selections

Any time EXPRESS 936 is turned OFF or unplugged from the

cigarette lighter socket, all feature settings are retained in the

unit’s memory. Memory retention eliminates the need to reset

your preferred feature settings each time your unit is turned

OFF and then back ON.

Adjusting the Audio Level

Once your unit has completed the power up test sequence, the

audio level can be adjusted by holding the P/Vbutton down.

As you hear the audio level change, the display will provide a

visual reference of the audio level. To reverse the direction in

which the audio level increases/decreases, briefly release, then

hold down the P/Vbutton again.

DRK (Dim/Dark) Button

The DRK button allows selection of a dim or dark setting for the

display. To engage dim mode, press the DRK button once. A single

“beep” coupled with the brief illumination of “DIM” on the display

confirms your selection. To completely cancel the illumination of

the display during an alert, press DRK a second time. A single

“beep” coupled with the brief illumination of “DARK” in the

display confirms your selection. While in dark mode, you will

notice an “H” (highway mode) or “C” (city mode) 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 DRK button does not affect audio alerts.

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

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

AUD (Audio Mute) Button

Continuous Audio Alert Pattern

Your unit has been preset at the factory to provide an X, K, Ka

or Laser audio alert and Digital Voice announcement of the

signal detected. Digital Voice prompts are provided once after

the initial audio alert. (Note: DigitalVoice can be turned OFF,

see page 9) This standard setting is often preferred when

background noise in a vehicle is loud.

Automatic Mute Alert Pattern (Radar)

To engage automatic muting, press the AUD button once when the

unit is not alarming. A single “beep” and brief presentation of

“AUTOMUTE” in the display confirms automatic mute mode has

been engaged. The alert pattern when this mode is activated

consists of several X, K, Super Wideband Ka audio alerts followed

by the Digital Voice announcement of the signal detected. After

the Digital Voice announcement, a “clicking” tone keeps you

quietly informed for as long as the signal is present. This

“clicking” becomes more rapid as the strength of the Radar signal

increases. With this mode engaged, the automatic muting will be

repeated each time a new signal is encountered. The automatic

mute mode enables you to conveniently monitor extended

encounters without having to manually mute or adjust the

volume setting. To return to the continuous audio alert pattern,

press the AUD button a second time (while the unit is not

alerting). Two “beeps” and the message “AUTOoff” confirm you

have cancelled automatic mute mode.

Manual Muting of Audio Alerts (Radar and sws™)

Regardless of the AUD mode selected (continuous or automatic

mute), the audio alerts can be completely muted by pressing

the AUD button during an alert. Once the alert has passed, me

unit will revert to the previous AUD setting.

Note—because Laser alerts are not lengthy or sustained, muting is not

required (see page 17).

CTY (City X/Highway) Button

The CTY 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 sub-

urban areas, making use of this mode ideal in these areas.

Pressing the CTY button once engages the CTY X mode which

is confirmed by “CITY” in the display coupled with a single

audio “beep”. Pressing the CTY twice returns you to highway

mode; “HIGHWAY” will appear in the display coupled with

two “beeps”. Once CTY X mode is 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 CTY mode allows you to drive

out of their range before they reach the 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 CTY

mode will not change Super Wideband Ka, K or instant-on X

band Radar alert patterns.

Note—the CTY mode does not change the presentation of alerts

for Laser sws™or VG-2 signals.

City ALL (X/K/Ka)

City ALL provides an alternated 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 ALL mode, press

CTY until the Display shows “CITY ALL”. Once engaged, weak

X, K or Super Wideband Ka signals encountered will provide

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.

Reset to Factory Settings

You can reset your unit to factory settings for volume, DRK, AUD,

CTY and Selectable Features. With the unit OFF, press and hold

CTY button, then press AUD and P/Vbuttons simultaneously. The

display will briefly show “RESET” and provide two “beeps”. Your

unit is now reset to its original factory settings and ready for

operation.

Safety Warning System®, vG-2 Guard®Alert, sws™Digital

Voice Messages and Radar/Laser Digital Voice prompts are

features which may be selected ON or OFF, depending upon

your preference.

Safety Warning System®(sws™)

When ON, unit will provide an alarm and text message when

signals from sws™transmitters are detected. Factory setting

is ON.

VG-2 Guard®Alert

When activated, unit will detect signals from Interceptor VG-2

transmitters. Factory setting is OFF.

Note-engage VG-2 Guard®only, in areas known to use the

Interceptor VG-2.

Safety Warning System®(sws™) with Digital Voice Messages

When “SWSvoice” is selected, unit will provide Digital Voice

announcements when swsTM transmitters are detected. Factory

setting is “SWSvoice”. When “SWSclick” is selected, Digital

Voice is replaced by “tone/clicking” only.

Radar/Laser Digital Voice prompts

When “VOICEon” is selected, unit will provide Digital Voice

prompts followed by “beeps” when X/K/Ka and Laser signals

are detected. Factory setting is ON. When “VOICEoff” is

selected unit will sound unique audio tones only.

Entering Selectable Features Mode

1. With the unit OFF, press and hold CTY button, then press the

P/Vbutton. The word “FEATURES” will appear in the

SELECTABLE FEATURES

Feature: Replace sws™Digital Voice Messages with “beep”. The

display will show either “SWSvoice” or “SWSclick”: Press

the AUD button to select VOICE or CLICK for this feature.

5. Press the CTY button again to move to the next Selectable

Feature: Radar/Laser Digital Voice. The display will show

“VOICEon” or “VOICEoff”. Press the AUD button to select

ON or OFF for this feature.

6. Press the P/Vbutton to exit Selectable Features Mode. Two

“beeps” confirm that you have exited this mode and your unit

will be ON. “HIGHWAY”, “City X or City ALL” will be

presented in the display, based on your previous selection.

General Guidelines

Do not mount your unit directly behind windshield wipers or

mirrored sunscreens which block Radar and Laser signals

and substantially reduce warning range. Unlike “after market”

mirrored sun-screens, regular tinted glass does not affect

Radar reception. Radar signals are also reflected by the “heated

windshields” known as Instaclear®and ElectriClear®available

as an option on some vehicles. This type of windshield makes

any dash, visor or windshield mounted detector ineffective.

(If in doubt, check with an appropriate dealership to see if

this applies to your vehicle.)

Instaclear is a registered trademark of the Ford Motor Company.

ElectriClear is a registered Trademark of Libbey, Owens, Ford, and Delco-Remy.
