XR70's power jack uses a telephone-type
connector. This new 6-pin connector only
works with the included coiled SmartPlug,
or the optional Direct-wire SmartPlug.
The coiled SmartPlug is a special power
cord that has a power-on indicator (which
only lights up when the XR70 is turned on),
a bright alert light that warns of radar or
laser, and a convenient mute button right on
the plug. It's perfect for any car where
reaching the detector's mute button on the
windshield is a stretch.
For discreet night driving, put XR70 in
the Dark mode, and use the SmartPlug for
your visual alerts. Other drivers won't know
you have a detector.
An optional Direct-wire SmartPlug is
also available. This version includes a small
display module, which can be wired directly
into your electrical system, with a 3 metre
straight cord to route to your XR70.

XR70’s alphanumeric display consists of
280 individual LEDs, to provide an intuitive
ultra-bright display of signal strength and
text messages.
XR70’s standard bar-graph signal
strength meter only displays information on
a single radar signal. If there are multiple
signals present, XR70’s internal computer
determines which is the most important
threat to show on the bar-graph meter.
When XR70 detects radar, it displays
the band (K, or Ka), and a precise bar-graph
of the signal strength. When XR70 detects a
laser signal, the display will show
“LASER.”
NOTE: If you are operating XR70 in
the Dark mode, the display will not light
when a signal is detected, only the audio will
be heard.

Bel XR70’s new Tech Display option is for
the experienced detector user. In this mode,
XR70 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.

For Radar signals:
XR70 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.
K-band = buzzing
Ka-band = double-chirp
Ku-band = high pitched buzzing
For Laser signals:
Since laser is a possible threat no matter
how weak, the XR70 alerts you to these
bands at full strength.
For Safety signals:
XR70 will alert you to these signals
with a double-beep tone, and a corre-
sponding text message. A complete listing of
the text messages is on page 23.
