The Bel V940 is the most advanced radar,
laser and safety detector ever designed by
Beltronics.

The Bel V940 includes full X, K,

SuperWide Ka, and Safety Warning System
radar capability, front and rear laser 
detection, varactor-tuned (VTO) microwave
receiver, digital signal processing (DSP) for
superior range and reduced false alarms, our
patented Mute and AutoMute, audible and
visual band alerts, and all the performance
you’d expect from Beltronics.

In addition, the Bel V940 introduces

the following revolutionary features:

• Varactor-tuned receiver provides 

long-range protection against all 
radar threats

• New easy-to-use Programming lets 

you customize up to 6 features

• Ultra-bright text-display provides 

easy to read information from any 
angle

• Detects and decodes Safety Warning 

System messages

If you’ve used a radar detector before, a

review of the Quick Reference Guide on
pages 4 and 5, and the Programming 
information on pages 12 and 13 will briefly
explain the new features.

If this is your first detector, please read

the manual in detail to get the most out of
your V940’s outstanding performance and
innovative features.

Please drive safely.

Congratulations
