Travel Mode – What is it?
VECTOR 990
International
is designed to operate anywhere
you travel. Because different countries use different
frequencies to monitor traffic, BELTRONICS has designed
the ONLY detector capable of detecting ALL traffic radar
frequencies used worldwide.
All Radar bands, whether used in North America or Europe
fall under the X, K or Ka band classification. The difference
is the operating frequency, measured in Gigahertz, which the
X, K or Ka Band signal is transmitted. When in Travel Mode,
VECTOR 990
International
will sound an X, K or Ka Digital
Voice Message or an X, K or Ka “tone” (whichever you have
chosen in Selectable Features) when Radar is encountered.
The Text Message Display will show the actual frequency
detected followed by the corresponding alarm –see samples
below:

Engaging Travel Mode (for International Travel)
VECTOR 990
International
is factory preset for North American
Travel. For operation outside of North America, engage
Tr a v e l
Mode. To engage
Tr a v e l
Mode, with the unit ON, press and
hold the CTY button until the display reads:
Tr a v e l
.
Release the CTY Button.
With the unit set in
Tr a v e l
M o d e , the number of
Radar frequencies totals 10. To access these frequencies,
see Selectable Features, page 16. In addition,
Tr a v e l
Mode
presents the actual frequency detected followed by the regular
alarm. Based on the alert pattern received (see page 20), you
can judge which frequencies in your areas of travel you know to
be “false” and which signals are true traffic radar.
