k Travel Mode - What is it? VECTOR 990 International is designed to operate anywhere you travel. Because different countries use different frequencies to monitor traffic, BELTRONICS has designed the ONLY detector capable of detecting ALL traffic radar frequencies used worldwide. All Radar bands, whether used in North America or Europe fall under the X, K or Ka band classification. The difference is the operating frequency, measured in Gigahertz, which the X, K or Ka Band signal is transmitted. When in Travel Mode, VECTOR 990 International will sound an X, K or Ka Digital Voice Message or an X, K or Ka "tone" (whichever you have chosen in Selectable Features) when Radar is encountered. The Text Message Display will show the actual frequency detected followed by the corresponding alarm -see samples below: 9.9 ➡ X Ba n d (sample UK signal) 10.525 ➡ X Ba n d (sample North American Signal) k Engaging Travel Mode (for International Travel) VECTOR 990 International is factory preset for North American Travel. For operation outside of North America, engage Tr a v e l Mode. To engage Tr a v e l Mode, with the unit ON, press and hold the CTY button until the display reads: Tr a v e l . Release the CTY Button. With the unit set in Tr a v e l M o d e , the number of Radar frequencies totals 10. To access these frequencies, see Selectable Features, page 16. In addition, Tr a v e l Mode presents the actual frequency detected followed by the regular alarm. Based on the alert pattern received (see page 20), you can judge which frequencies in your areas of travel you know to be "false" and which signals are true traffic radar. 14
