How TotalShield™ Technology Works
Beltronic’s TotalShield Technology keeps
RF signals from radiating from the detector.
Unlike other radar and laser detectors,
which merely move their RF signals (local
oscillators) to another frequency (which
will be detectable by future detector-
detectors), this revolutionary design keeps
you unseen by current radar detector-
detectors, including VG-2 and Spectre. This
unique design will also keep you unseen
from any future radar detector detectors as
well.
Although the BELTRONICS STi MAGNUM
is a completely undetectable radar, laser
and safety detector, driving techniques and
reactions to alerts can still draw unwanted
attention. Here are a few examples:
1. Hitting the brakes immediately when
the STi MAGNUM provides an alert can
broadcast use of a detector.
2. Visible power cords, brackets and
suction cup marks on the glass can also
advertise to others that you have a detector.
3. Traveling at night with a glow from a
radar detector’s display visible from outside
your vehicle can also draw unwanted
attention. The STi MAGNUM offers
adjustable brightness, including a full dark
mode which will provide audio alerts, but
no visual indication except for the alert
LED on the SmartPlug.
How Safety Radar Works
Safety Warning System, or SWS, uses a
modified K-band radar signal. The SWS
safety radar system has 64 possible
messages (60 currently allocated). The SWS
messages your STi MAGNUM can display
are listed on the facing page.
From the factory, your STi MAGNUM
is programmed with SWS decoding OFF.
If you wish to detect this system, use
the Programming feature to turn STi
MAGNUM’s SWS decoding ON.
NOTE: Some of the safety messages
have been condensed, so that each message
can be displayed on one or two screens on
STi MAGNUM’s eight-character display.
Since Safety radar technology is
relatively new, and the number of
transmitters in operation is not yet
widespread, you will not receive Safety
signals on a daily basis. Do not be surprised
if you encounter emergency vehicles, road
hazards and railroad crossings that are
not equipped with these transmitters. If
Safety transmitters become more prevalent,
these Safety radar signals will become more
common.
