IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Note:
Use of the unit on cars equipped with the optional Instaclear® and
ElectriClear® windshields is to be avoided entirely. These “heated
windshields” reflect radar signals and make any dash, visor or windshield
mounted detector ineffective.
Power Connection
To power Express 795, plug the small end of the power
cord, (telephone-type connector) into the modular jack on
the detector’s right side; plug the lighter plug adapter into
your vehicle’s lighter socket or accessory socket.
Express 795 operates on 12 volts DC (negative ground
only). The lighter plug provided is a standard size and
will work in most vehicles. However, some vehicles may
require the optional European sleeve to ensure a snug fit.
If so, simply call our service department to order one.
This sleeve slides over the power cord’s lighter plug
adapter. Of course, your lighter socket must be clean and
properly connected for proper operation.
Note:
depending on your vehicle, the lighter socket power may either be
continuously on, or it may be switched on and off with your ignition switch.
Optional power cords
Visit our website at www.beltronics.com for other power
cord options.
CARE OF YOUR DETECTOR
1.
Avoid placing the EXPRESS 795 in direct sunlight. The
summertime temperatures of an enclosed vehicle may
reach extremes that can cause premature aging of the
unit.
2.
Avoid exposure to water. The detector is not waterproof.
3.
Always use reasonable care when transporting your unit
from one vehicle to another.
