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 o n”, “SWS o f f ”, “VG-2 o n”,

“VG-2 o f f ”, “SWSv o i c e ”, “SWSc l i c k ”, “VOICEo n ”,

“VOICEo FF” (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 PWR/VOL button 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 CITY, then press AUDIO 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 Al e r t ,” 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 CITY or AUDIO to move forward or backward

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

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

initially in the display confirming your selection. Pressing the

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

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

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

This allows you to review all 60 messages.

To exit Tutorial Mode, press the PWR/VOL button and your unit

will be ON and ready to receive signals.

Memory Retention of Feature Selections

Any time EXPRESS 935 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 PWR/VOL button 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 PWR/VOL button again.

DARK (Bright/Dim/Dark) Button

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

display. To engage dim mode, press the DARK 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 DARK 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 DARK button a third time; two “beeps” confirm

this selection. Use of the DARK button does not affect audio alerts.

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

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

AUDIO (Audio Mute) Button

Continuous Audio Alert Pattern

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

or Laser Digital Voice announcement of the signal detected.

Digital Voice prompts are provided once after the initial audio alert.

Note: Digital Voice 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 AUDIO 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 AUDIO button a second time (while the unit is not

alerting). Two “beeps” and the message “AUDIO o f f ” confirm you

have cancelled automatic mute mode.

Manual Muting of Audio Alerts (Radar and sws™)

Regardless of the AUDIO mode selected (continuous or automatic

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

the AUDIO button during an alert. Once the alert has passed,

EXPRESS 935 unit will revert to the previous AUDIO setting.

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

not required (see page 17).

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 sub-

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

CITY X Mode

Pressing the CITY button once engages the CITY X mode

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

single audio “beep”. Pressing the CITY button twice returns you to

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

with two “beeps”. Once CITY 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 CITY 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 CITY

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

band Radar alert patterns.

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

for Laser sws™or VG-2 signals.

City ALL (X/K/Ka)

City ALL provides an alternative approach for improving

selectivity on all three bands, 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 CITY

until the Display shows “CITY ALL”. Once engaged, weak X, K or

Super Wideband 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, DARK, AUDIO,

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

CITY button, then press AUDIO and PWR/VOL buttons 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 “SWSv o i c e ” is selected, unit will provide Digital Voice

announcements when swsTM transmitters are detected. Factory

setting is “SWSv o i c e ”. When “SWSc l i c k ” is selected, Digital

Voice is replaced by “tone/clicking” only.

Radar/Laser Digital Voice prompts

When “VOICEo n ” 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 “VOICEo FF” is

selected unit will sound unique audio tones only.
