Audio Alert Speaker: all audible alerts and Digital Voice Messages are emitted from this location. . Power Jack: EXPRESS 926 and EXPRESS 916 operate in any vehicle with a 12 volt dc negative ground system (10.5 volt to 16 volt range). Note: EXPRESS 916 contains the same feature set as EXPRESS 926 pictured, except for city X/K/Ka and 60 sws™ Digital Voice Messages. description of features Power-Up Test Sequence Each time your unit is turned ,alerts for Laser,Ka,K,X and Safety Warning System® are presented.After this test sequence, illumination of digits 1,2,3 and/or 4 indicates if Selectable Features are engaged (see page 8).To bypass the power-up test sequence, press the ⁄ button again.If your unit presents an illumination pattern other than this standard power-up test sequence,return it to beltronics for servicing. Tutorial Mode The Tutorial mode allows you to become more familiar with all audible and visual alerts.To engage this mode,press and hold ,then press when the unit is off.The unit will cycle continuously through audio/visual alerts for Laser,Ka,K,X and -Guard® Alert as well as sample sws™messages or sws™ categories (EXPRESS 916).To exit tutorial mode,press the ⁄ button and your unit will be and ready to receive signals. Memory Retention of Feature Selections Any time your unit is turned or unplugged from the cigarette lighter socket,all feature settings are retained in the unit’s memory. Memory retention eliminates the need to reset your preferred feature settings each time your unit is turned off and then back . 

Once your unit has completed the power-up test sequence,the audio level can be adjusted by holding the ⁄ button down. As you hear the audio level change,the digits ‒in the Digital Display provide a visual reference of the audio level. To reverse the direction in which the audio level increases/ decreases,briefly release,then hold down the ⁄button again.  (Dim/Dark) Button The button allows selection of a dim or dark setting for all leds and the Digital Display.To engage dim mode,press the drk button once.A single “beep”confirms your selection. To completely cancel the illumination of all leds,press drk a second time.You’ll notice a horizontal bar segment remains dim to indicate your unit is receiving power.To return to a full bright setting,press the drk button a third time; two “beeps” confirm this selection.Use of the drk button does not affect audio alerts. Important—if you press the the button and do not receive audible confirmation, the audio level has been set too low. (Audio Mute) Button Continuous Audio Alert Pattern Your unit has been preset at the factory to provide an X,K,Ka or Laser audio alert and Digital Voice announcement of the signal detected.Digital Voice prompts are provided once after the initial audio alert.This standard setting is often preferred when background noise in a vehicle is loud. Automatic Mute Audio Alert Pattern (Radar) To engage automatic muting,press the button once when the unit is not alarming.A single “beep”and a decimal point in the upper left corner of the Digital Display confirm automatic mute mode has been engaged.The alert pattern when this mode is activated consists of a short X,K or Super Wideband Ka audio alert followed by the Digital Voice announcement of the signal detected (if feature is engaged).After the Digital Voice announcement,a “clicking”tone keeps you quietly informed for as long as the signal is present.This “clicking”becomes 

this mode engaged,the automatic mute mode enables you to conveniently monitor extended encounters without having to manually mute or adjust the volume setting.To return to the continuous audio alert pattern,press the button a second time while the unit is not alarming.Two “beeps”and no decimal point in the upper left corner of the Digital Display confirm you have cancelled automatic mute mode. Manual Muting of Audio Alerts (Radar & sws™) Regardless of the mode selected (continuous or automatic mute) the X,K,Super Wideband Ka and sws™ audio alerts can be completely muted by pressing the  button during an alert.Once the alert has passed,the unit will revert to the previous aud setting (continuous or automatic mute). Note—because Laser alerts are not lengthy or sustained,muting is not required (see page 17).  (City X/Highway) Button The city X mode has been designed to effectively reduce unwanted audio alerts caused by intrusion alarms,door openers,and other devices which share X band with police Radar—without reducing sensitivity.Signals from non-police Radar sources are frequently encountered in urban and suburban areas,making use of this mode ideal in these areas. Pressing the button once engages the city X mode which is confirmed by a “C”in the Digital Display and a single audio “beep”. Pressing the  button twice returns you to highway mode; a double “beep”and illumination of “H”in the display will confirm this selection.With engaged, weak X band signals encountered will produce no audible alert until the signal strength reaches a preset level.However, visual alerts are processed the instant an X band signal is detected,keeping you quietly informed.Since most “false”X band signals are weak,the use of the city mode allows you to drive out of their range before they reach the preset level and trigger a full audio alert.In contrast,signals from X band traffic Radar are generally stronger and will exceed the preset level,causing a full X band audio alert. 

Wideband Ka,K or instant-on X band Radar alert patterns. Note—the cty mode does not change the presentation of alerts for Laser, sws™or vg-2 signals. City ALL (X/K/Ka)-Model 926 only City ALL provides an alternated approach for improving X, K and Ka band selectivity and is ideal for use in areas with a high level of microwave trasmissions which can cause falsing on all three bands.To engage City X/K/Ka mode,press  until the Dispay shows a capital “A”.Once engaged,weak X,K or Super Wideband Ka signals encountered will provide no audible alerts until the signal strength reaches a preset level. Visual alerts are processed the instant an X,K or Super Wideband Ka signal is detected,keeping you quietly informed. Reset to Factory Settings You can reset your unit to factory settings for volume,, ,and Selectable Features.With the unit , press and hold button then press the  and P/V buttons simultaneously.Two “beeps”and “F”in the digital display, confirm that the unit is reset to the original factory settings.

Radar signals are also reflected by the “heated windshields” known as Instaclear® and ElectriClear® available as an option on some vehicles.This type of windshield makes any dash,visor or windshield mounted detector ineffective.(If in doubt,check with an appropriate dealership to see if this applies to your vehicle.) To achieve optimum performance,regardless of which mounting position you choose,follow these basic steps:

Choose a location where the unit will not be hazardous in case of an accident. . For optimum detection,position your unit with a clear, unobstructed view of the road from the front and rear. . Do not allow the unit to make contact with the windshield. This will eliminate unnecessary vibration. . Avoid placing your unit in direct sunlight.During the summer, the interior of an enclosed vehicle can sometimes reach temperatures that will cause premature aging of the unit. . Your detector is not waterproof; exposure to water may cause damage. Dash Mounting . Select an area that is relatively level,clean and dry.Adhere the soft portion of the enclosed hook and loop fastener to this area and the corresponding hard portion to the bottom of your unit. . Fasten unit to dash by placing hook and loop pieces together. Mounting Brackets The visor bracket is fully assembled.To assemble the windshield bracket,follow this diagram. Visor Mounting . Remove the mounting bracket cover on top of the unit by pressing on the raised dots and pushing outward.Store the cover in a safe place. 

snaps into place.Clip the detector to the edge of the sun visor nearest the windshield. Windshield Mounting 1. Remove the mounting bracket cover on top of the unit by pressing on the raised dots and pushing outward.Store the cover in a safe place. . Clean the selected windshield area,position the suction-cup mount on the windshield,and press firmly on each suction cup to secure it in place. 3. Use a screwdriver or a small coin to adjust the suction-cup mount until the base plate is level. . Slide detector onto base plate until it snaps into place. Note—some vehicles have a plastic coating on the inside of the windshield designed to protect occupants in case of an accident. Use of the windshield bracket on this type of windshield can permanently mark the surface. Check with your dealer if you are unsure whether your vehicle is equipped with this type of windshield. 

from the cigarette lighter socket.The cigarette lighter plug has been designed to fit universally in all sockets.The lighter socket must be clean and well grounded for proper operation. Fuse Replacement If your unit is not operating because the fuse has blown, replace the fuse as follows: 1. Carefully unscrew the tip of the cigarette lighter plug. 2. Remove the tip from the cigarette lighter plug,followed by the old fuse. Note—the tip is in two pieces. Be careful not to lose either piece or the spring inside the holder. 3. Replace the fuse with a -amp,fuse.(See Accessories, page 23,for proper replacement.) Defeating the fuse protection can damage your unit or your vehicle’s electrical system and will void your warranty. 4. Press the tip of the plug into the body,and screw back into place. understanding radar, laser and sws™ Three Radar Frequencies Three microwave frequencies have been allocated by the  (Federal Communications Commission) and are used for traffic Radar: X,K and Super Wideband Ka.Your EXPRESS detector provides detection of all known radar traffic devices. Total Tracking Laser™(ttl™) Unlike Radar signals,which are highly reflective,Laser signals have very poor reflective characteristics.Many of today’s Laser detectors do not have the high sensitivity necessary to detect 

916 incorporate ’s number one rated Laser detection.Twin Laser ports detect energy far outside the main Laser beam— including off-axis signals—providing the largest achievable °“field-of-view”. The alerts received by your unit are the same whether they are received from the front or rear. Safety Warning System® (sws™)—What is it? The Radio Association Defending Airwave Rights,Inc. (.....) conceived and developed the Safety Warning System®. The concept behind this system is to warn motorists of potential road hazards by employing Safety Warning System® transmitting devices in areas such as construction zones, accidents sites and detours.These sws™transmitters operate within the z portion of the K band frequency and broadcast unique,coded signals which are detected by your express 926 or express 916. interpretation of alerts Radar Alerts The alerts provided by your unit are affected both by the type of transmission (continuous wave or instant-on) and the position of the Radar source.Generally,when you drive closer to a Radar source,the intensity of the received signal increases, resulting in a higher number appearing in the Digital Display and a corresponding increase in the audio alert rate.Described below are five common types of Radar encounters and the alerts you will typically receive. 1. Stationary or moving Radar, straight ahead aimed in your direction. 

encounter potentially offers maximum warning range.Once the signal is received,the initial warning consists of the X,K or Super Wideband Ka audio and visual alerts and the simul- taneous illumination of a signal strength digit.The actual digit displayed will depend upon the strength of the signal received.As the strength of the Radar signal increases,the audio alert becomes more rapid and the signal strength digit will progressively increase.Assuming the Radar signal remains uninterrupted,the audible and visual alerts will clearly indicate a “weak”signal becoming stronger as you drive closer to the Radar source.Remember,when the police Radar source is moving toward you,the Radar signal strength will increase much more rapidly than if you are approaching a stationary source. . Stationary Radar aimed around a corner Under this circumstance,reaction time is considerably reduced.Since the Radar signals are transmitted across your line of travel,there is generally no signal available to receive until you are relatively close to the source.Once an alert is received,expect the strength of the signal to increase very quickly.Advanced warning in this situation may be reduced. 3. Stationary Radar concealed by the crest of a hill aimed in your direction. 

earth.Consequently,police Radar aimed at the crest of a steep hill cannot be received until you are at or near the top. Warning time may be minimal (as in situation #2) since a strong signal is not present until you are near the crest of the hill.At this point,you may be nearly in the police officer’s line of sight.When cresting a hill,a weak initial alert followed very quickly by a full alert is typical.This alert pattern requires prompt attention. . Moving Radar behind you, traveling in the same direction. Police Radar signals transmitted from behind your vehicle can be received when reflected by objects in front of you such as large signs,bridges and trucks.As you drive,the size and con- figuration of these objects are constantly changing causing the strength of any reflected Radar signal received to vary.A strong, uninterrupted alert indicates the patrol car is close behind. Instant-On/Pulsed Radar This type of signal appears suddenly when a Radar unit is “triggered”.The instant-on alert consists of an intense,three second X,K or Super Wide band Ka audio “burst”, coupled with the illumination of the digit “9”and the corresponding band indicator. Typical False Alert (Radar) Ideally,a Radar detector should only alert in the presence of police Radar.However,because other devices share X band with police Radar,false alerts sometimes occur.Generally,a false signal produces only a short audio and visual alert.Since they are most often weak,it is possible to drive out of the 

Although many times the probable source of the false signal can be identified (supermarket,bank,commercial building, etc.),caution is advised until the source can be confirmed. The X band alert pattern caused by a non-police source can look like the initial alert produced by actual police Radar.For this reason appropriate action is required any time an alert is received. Laser Alerts When Laser is detected,a flashing “L”will appear in the Digital Display. If a vehicle is a long distance from the source of Laser pulses, fewer pulses will generally be received.The closer the vehicle is to the source of Laser pulses,the greater the likelihood of receiving a steady stream of Laser pulses.The reason for this is the aiming stability of the Laser gun and the fact that it is impossible to hold the gun absolutely still.Any movement of the gun results in motion of the beam at the target.The further the target,the greater the displacement of the beam and the shorter the dwell time of the beam at the target point.There- fore,there is the possibility of receiving only a few Laser pulses. Due to these characteristics,all Laser alerts received from your unit should be taken seriously. vg-2 Guard® Alert Whenever your express unit detects signals from the Interceptor vg-2 (Radar Detector Detector),the vg-2 Guard® feature engages,alerting you to the presence of the interceptor vg-2. (vg-2 Guard® must be selected on—see page 8 for more information on Selectable Features). A distinct,2-second audio warning coupled with the Digital Voice announcement of “vg-2 Alert”and the flashing of the “H”,or “A”(926 only) in the Digital Display confirms activation of the vg-2 Guard® feature.This flashing continues for as long as vg-2 Guard® is activated.During the vg-2 alert your unit does not detect Radar or sws™ signals.However,the presence of the Interceptor vg-2 indicates that traffic is being monitored and speed measurements may be taken.When the “H”or “C”stops 

scanning for Radar and sws™signals. Note—activation of -Guard® does not affect detection of Laser signals. Safety Warning System® (sws™) Alerts With the Safety Warning System™feature on and an sws™ transmitter in use,your detector will alert with a unique, 2-second sws™audio tone coupled with the illumination of the sws™led and the sws™message category digit (1–5).(If sws™ Digital Voice is on (model 926 only) the appropriate message is heard twice,immediately after the 2-second tone.) After the Digital Voice Message,a “clicking”pattern is provided for as long as the the signal is present. To select sws™on or off,see Selectable Features,page .

If you feel your unit is not alerting properly,keep in mind that there are many conditions that influence the intensity or duration of an alert: . The police are using instant-on/pulsed Radar,in which case no signal is transmitted until visual contact has been made with your vehicle.For detection of this signal,you must rely on reflected signals from Radar directed at traffic traveling ahead of you. . The police Radar unit is positioned perpendicular to the road, around a curve,or just over the crest of a hill,thus,significantly reducing the reception range. . The highway traffic between your vehicle and the police Radar source is heavy.This blocks/reflects transmitted signals.The presence of several large trucks between you and the police Radar unit could also significantly reduce reception. . Rain or humid weather conditions can absorb transmitted signals before they reach your vehicle,again reducing detection range. . The police Radar unit is not properly tuned and is transmitting outside the fcc allocated X,K or Super Wideband Ka frequency ranges. Conditions that Affect Laser Alerts If you feel your unit is not properly alerting to the presence of Laser signals,keep in mind that rain,fog,high humidity and traffic conditions can affect the range that the Laser beam can be detected.ing 
