Getting Started

Power-Up Test Sequence/Start-Up Mode

Using the supplied straight or coiled power cord,

place the end with the “elbow” shaped jack into the

receptacle on the side of the detector; the opposite

end of the cord connects to the cigarette barrel. Plug

the cigarette barrel into your vehicle’s cigarette plug, or the

secondary receptacle if your vehicle is so equipped. Press

the PWR button to turn the unit ON. Depending upon the

Operating Mode selected, the power up test sequence and

confirmation of Radar/Laser/SWS™alerts will be relayed to

you as follows:

NNOORRMMAALL(Factory Pre-Set Mode)

A lengthy, power up test sequence that displays audio

and text messages for Laser, Ka, K, X and Safety

Warning System®(SWS™) followed by the status of

the General Selectable Features each time the unit is

turned on. When complete, unit is ready for

operation and will display Radar, Laser and SWS™

messages when signals are detected. Normal Mode

is recommended when first using your VECTOR 990.

MMOODDSS(Modifications Mode)

Presents audio and text messages for Laser, Ka, K, X

and Safety Warning System®(SWS™), followed by

ONLY those General Selectable Features which have

been modified by the user from their Factory pre-set

state each time unit is turned on. Unit is ready for

operation and will display Radar, Laser and SWS™

messages when signals are detected.

QQ--SSTTAARRTT(Quick-Start Mode)

Unit will bypass the power up test sequence and will

display the last selected traveling mode:“

AAuuttooSSccaann™

”

(factory default) “

HHiigghhwwaayy

”, “

CCiittyyXX

” or “

CCiittyy

AALLLL”.

Q-Start is recommended when you are comfortable

with the detector and do not require a rundown of

sample messages. Unit is ready for operation and will

display Radar, Laser and SWS™messages when

signals are detected.

TTEECCHHMODE (Displays Frequency Received)

Presents audio and text messages followed by the

display of the ACTUAL frequency of the received

radar bandwidth and Laser. Unit is ready for

operation and will display Radar, Laser and SWS™

messages – including actual frequencies – when

signals are detected.

Sample alerts while operating in Tech Mode:

Laser Alert: “LLAASSEERR990000NNMM”

X Band Alert: “XXBBAANNDD” followed by “1100..552255”

K Band Alert: “KKBBAANNDD” followed by “2244..115500”

Ka Band Alert: “KKaaBBAANNDD” followed by any

frequency between 3333..44––3366..00GGHHzz.

VV--MMEETTEERR(Voltage Meter Mode)

Presents a continuous, digital readout of your

vehicle’s battery voltage

(10.5 volt to 15.5 volt range)

If voltage rises above 15.5, the display will flash

“HHIIVVOOLLTT” until the problem with your vehicle is

corrected. If voltage falls below 10.5 volts, display

will flash “LLOOWWVVOOLLTT” until the problem with your

vehicle is corrected.

Note: during continuous readout of your vehicle’s battery voltage, you’ll

notice the mode of operation you’re traveling will be illuminated in the

left hand corner of the display in abbreviated form:

Autoscan: AAssHighway: HHCity X: CCxxCity ALL: CCAA

Whichever Operating mode you select, VECTOR 990

will be in standby mode and ready to detect traffic

Radar, Laser and SWS™signals. The display will show

“

AAuuttooSSccaann™

” (factory pre-set which is suitable for ALL

driving conditions, unless you change this to “

HHiigghhwwaayy

”,

“

CCiittyyXX

”, or “

CCiittyy

AALLLL” (see page 9).

TUTORIAL MODE

The Tutorial Mode allows you to become more

familiar with all audible and visual alerts. The

message

“

TTUUTTOORRIIAALL

”

appears in the display followed

by the audio and corresponding Text Message for

“

, sample

Radar alert (K band signal ramping from weak to

strong) and

“

SSAAFFEETTYYWWAARRNNIINNGGSSYYSSTTEEMMSSAAMMPPLLEEAALLEERRTTSS

”

Three sample SWS™messages are then presented in

the display along with the corresponding

Digital Voice Messages:

Sample 1

“

”

Sample 2

“

HHIIGGHHWWAAYYWWOORRKKCCRREEWWAAHHEEAADD

Sample 3

“

PPOOLLIICCEEIINNPPUURRSSUUIITT

”

You can access the complete list of SWS

™

messages

by pressing the AUD button. “MMSSGG11”will appear in the

display once AUD is pressed. Pressing the AUD button

a second time will allow you to listen to the SWS

™

message while viewing it in the display. (to move

forward in the list, press the CTY button; to move

backward in the list, press the DRK button). Continue

the steps above to play all 60 SWS

™

messages.

To exit Tutorial Mode, press the PWR button and

your unit will be on and ready to receive signals.

Note: sample radar and SWS™messages are random.

Presentation of alerts will differ than what is printed based

on operating mode selected. Tutorial Mode will cycle

continuously until PWR is pressed to exit this mode.

Set and Forget Memory

Any time VECTOR 990 is turned off or unplugged

from the cigarette lighter socket, all feature settings

you have selected are retained in the unit’s memory.

Set and Forget Memory eliminates the need to reset

your preferred feature settings each time your unit is

turned off and then back on.

Reset to Factory Settings

You can reset your unit to factory settings (North

American Mode) for Start-Up mode, volume, DRK, AUD,

CTY and General Selectable Features. To reset, press

and hold the CTY button with the unit on until the

display shows “RREESSEETT“.Two“beeps” will sound and your

unit will cycle through the NNOORRMMAALLStart-Up Mode.

DRK (Bright/Dim/Dark) Button

The DRK button allows selection of a bright, fully

adjustable dim or dark mode. VECTOR 990 is

factory preset to full bright display. To engage dim

mode, press and hold the DRK button. The display

will cycle through various levels of dim illumination.

Release the button at your chosen level. To engage

dark mode, press the DRK button a second time.

A single “beep” coupled with the brief illumination

“

DDAARRKK

”

on the display confirms your selection.

You’ll notice an

“

AAss

”

(AutoScan™),

“

”

(Highway

mode),

“

CCxx

”

(City mode) or

“

CCAA

”

(City ALL)

remains dim to confirm 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 DRK button and do not

receive audible confirmation, the audio level has been set

too low.
