Power Connector
V995's power jack uses a telephone-type
connector. This 4-conductor connector
only works with the included power cord,
optional direct-wire, or SmartPlug cord.

Signal Strength Meter
V995’s alphanumeric display consists of 280
individual LEDs, to provide an intuitive
ultra-bright display of signal strength and
text messages.
V995’s standard bar-graph signal
strength meter only displays information on
a single radar signal. If there are multiple
signals present, V995’s internal computer
determines which is the most important
threat to show on the bar-graph meter.
When V995 detects radar, it displays
the band (X, K, or Ka), and a precise bar-
graph of the signal strength. When V995
detects a laser signal, the display will show
“LASER.”
NOTE: If you are operating V995 in the
Dark mode, the display will not light when
a signal is detected, only the audio will be
heard.

Tech Display
Bel V995’s new Tech Display option is for
the experienced detector user. In this
mode, V995 will display the actual numeric
frequency of the radar signal being
received.
K 24.150
Tech Display shows one K-band signal
at 24.150 gigahertz.
Note: Even long-time detector users
will require a significant amount of time to
get familiar with this new level of
information about detected signals.
Audible Alerts
For Radar signals:
V995 uses a Geiger-counter-like sound
to indicate the signal strength and type of
radar signal being encountered.
When you encounter radar, a distinct
audible alert will sound and occur faster as
the signal gets stronger. This allows you to
judge the distance from the signal source
without taking your eyes from the road.
Each band has a distinct tone for easy
identification.
X-band = chirping
K-band = buzzing
Ka-band = double-chirp
POP = full double-chirp
Ku-band = high pitched buzzing
For Laser and POP signals:
Since laser and POP signals (if turned
on) are a possible threat no matter how
weak, the V995 alerts you to these bands at
full strength.
For Safety signals:
V995 will alert you to these signals
with a double-beep tone, and a
corresponding text message. A complete
listing of the text messages is on page 23.
