Beltronics 980 Radar Detector User Manual


 
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 Laser within a large “field of view”. bel 980 and
bel 950 incorporate bel’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 360°“field of view.”The alerts provided by your
unit are the same whether signals are received from the
front or rear.
Safety Warning System
®
(sws
)—What is it?
The Radio Association Defending Airwave Rights,Inc.
(r.a.d.a.r.) 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
®
transmitters in areas such as construction zones,accident
sites and detours.These sws
transmitters operate within
the 24 ghz portion of the K band frequency,and broadcast
uniquely coded signals that are detected by your unit.

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 the increase of the number of bar graph segments
as well as numerical digit 1–9 (bel 980 only) 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.
