alert coupled with simultaneous identification of the Radar band (X, K or Ka) and signal strength in the Text Display. The number of bar graph segments displayed depends upon the strength of the signal received. As the strength of the Radar signal increases, the audio alert becomes more rapid and the bar graph will display the maximum number of five segments indicating maximum signal strength. 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.

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.

940, VECTOR 960 specifications

The Beltronics VECTOR 960 and 940 represent a significant evolution in radar detection technology, designed to cater to the needs of discerning drivers who demand accuracy, superior range, and advanced features. With their sleek designs and robust functionalities, these models are engineered to provide an unparalleled driving experience while enhancing safety and awareness on the road.

One of the standout features of both the VECTOR 960 and 940 is their advanced Digital Signal Processing (DSP) technology. This cutting-edge innovation effectively filters out false alerts, ensuring that users receive only the most relevant and critical information. By processing signals more efficiently, these detectors can distinguish between real threats, such as police radar, and benign signals from sources like automatic doors or other vehicles.

Range is another impressive characteristic of the VECTOR series. Users can expect unparalleled detection range, allowing them to identify potential threats well in advance. This extended range is particularly beneficial for highway driving, giving users extra time to respond to changing conditions. The VECTOR 960, equipped with top-tier sensitivity settings, can detect multiple radar bands, including K, Ka, and X bands, providing comprehensive coverage against various radar technologies employed by law enforcement.

Both models come with an intuitive display that features adjustable brightness levels, ensuring visibility in all lighting conditions. The VECTOR 960 offers an advanced user interface, complete with voice alerts that keep drivers focused on the road while still providing critical information. This feature enhances safety, as it minimizes the need for drivers to take their eyes off the road to read alerts.

User customization is another notable aspect of the VECTOR line. These detectors allow users to tailor their settings to suit specific driving habits and locales, which offers a more personalized experience. Drivers can easily turn bands on or off and adjust sensitivity levels according to their preferences, further improving accuracy and reducing false alarms.

Additionally, the VECTOR 960 and 940 are equipped with built-in GPS capabilities. This feature supports TrueLock technology, which allows users to lock out false alert locations, reducing unnecessary alerts and making the driving experience smoother. Furthermore, they are compatible with the Escort Live app, providing real-time data sharing and access to a community of users who report on road hazards and enforcement activities.

In conclusion, the Beltronics VECTOR 960 and 940 embody a blend of advanced technology, exceptional range, and user-friendly features. With their sophisticated radar detection capabilities, these models stand out as top choices for drivers seeking to enhance their awareness and safety on the road.
