Set and Forget Memory

Any time 

VECTOR 985 

is turned off or unplugged

from the cigarette lighter socket, all feature settings
you have selected are retained in the unit’s memory.
Set and Forget Memory eliminates the need to reset
your preferred feature settings each time your unit is
turned off and then back on.

Reset to Factory Settings

You can reset your unit to factory settings for Start-Up
mode, volume, DRK, AUD, CTY and General Selectable
Features. To reset, press and hold the 

CTY

button until

DRK (Bright/Dim/Dark) Button

The 

DRK

button allows selection of a bright, fully

adjustable dim or dark mode. 

VECTOR 985

is

factory preset to full bright display. To engage dim
mode, press and hold the 

DRK

button. The display

will cycle through various levels of dim illumination.
Release the button at your chosen level. To engage
dark mode, press the 

DRK

a third time; two “beeps” confirm this selection. Use of
the 

DRK

button does not affect audio alerts.

Important—if you press the the DRK button and do not
receive audible confirmation, the audio level has been set
too low.
