Power Connection

To power XR70, plug the small end of the SmartPlug, (telephone-type connector) into the modular jack on XR70's right side, and plug the lighter plug adapter into your vehicle's lighter socket or accessory socket. XR70 operates on 12 volts DC negative ground only. The lighter plug provided is a standard size and will work in most vehicles. Of course, your lighter socket must be clean and properly connected for proper operation. Note: Depending on your vehicle, the lighter socket power may either be continuously on, or it may be switched on and off with your ignition switch. Optional power cords See the Accessories section for details on our optional Direct-wire SmartPlug.

Mounting Location

WARNING: BELTRONICS cannot anticipate the many ways the XR70 can be mounted. It is important that you mount XR70 where it will not impair your view nor present a hazard in case of an accident. Where to mount XR70 For optimum detection performance, we recommend the following: Mount XR70 away from windshield wipers, other solid objects, and heavily tinted areas that might obstruct the radar antenna or laser lens. The XR70 can also be used with the optional under cover sunvisor holder. Page 29.

Windshield QuickMount

XR70s QuickMount bracket is designed for unobtrusive and hassle-free mounting. 1 Depress the QuickMount button on the top of XR70 (by the word BELTRONICS) and slide the QuickMount bracket into the slot until it is locked into the position which best fits the angle of your windshield (there are four settings available). For extremely horizontal or extremely sloped windshields, the QuickMount bracket can be bent. To ensure that the suction cups adhere to the windshield firmly, be sure to keep both your windshield and the suction cups clean. 2 To adjust XR70 on your windshield, use the QuickMount adjustment button located on the top of the XR70, and slide XR70 forward or backward to obtain a level horizontal position. When installed and adjusted properly, the back top edge of the XR70 should rest solidly against your windshield.
Caution! A few vehicles (including some Porsches) have windshields with a soft anti-lacerative coating on the inside surface. Use of suction cups will permanently mar this coating. Consult your dealership or the vehicle owners manual to determine if your windshield has this coating. Templates! Excessive heat (over 60o C) can damage your Safety Detector. Do not leave it on the dash or windscreen, in direct sunlight, or in a unventilated vehicle when not in use.

Users Tip You can leave the QuickMount bracket in place on your windshield, and easily remove the XR70 by pressing the adjustment button and sliding XR70 off the mount. Again, be sure to position the bracket where it wont present a hazard in the event of an accident. Additional mounts are available.

Page 11

To turn XR70 on or off, press the PWR button located on the top. When you turn XR70 on, it goes through a sequence of alerts. If you prefer, you may program your XR70 for a shorter power-on sequence. See the Programming section for details.

Voice Alerts

The XR70 provides digital voice announcements of radar and laser bands detected. As Safety Radar (SWS) is turned on, a safety radar message will also be announced. See the Programming section for details. If you prefer, you can select turn Voice Alerts off. See the Programming section for details.
Highway / AutoScan / City Button
The City button selects XR70s sensitivity mode. We recommend the Highway mode for most driving. Highway Mode maintains full sensitivity on all selected bands. Giving the greatest range. AutoScan mode provides long-range warning, with minimum false alarms. In this mode, XR70s internal computer continuously analyzes all incoming signals and intelligently filters out false alarms. City Mode only affects X band enabled detectors, so is therefore redundant on the XR70.

Brightness

XR70s BRT button selects the brightness of XR70s display. There are four settings: Maximum, Medium, Minimum, and Dark. Press the BRT button to select your preferred brightness. If you prefer, you can have XR70 always turn on at a specific brightness. See the Programming section for details.
Press and hold the Volume/Mute button located on the top case to adjust the XR70s alert volume level. The audio will ramp up and down, accompanied by a bar-graph on the display. Once youve reached your preferred audio level, simply release the button.
Your XR70 has our patented AutoMute feature. After XR70 alerts you to a radar encounter at the volume you have selected, the AutoMute feature will automatically reduce the volume to a lower level. This keeps you informed without the annoyance of a continuous full-volume alert. If you prefer, you can turn the AutoMute feature off. See the Programming section for details.

Dark Mode

When you select the Dark mode with the BRT switch, XR70 changes to a very inconspicuous power-on indication: a very Dim AD, HD, or CD. (In this display, the A, H, or C indicates Auto, Highway, or City, and the D indicates Dark.) When XR70 is in the Dark mode, the display will not show visual alerts when XR70 detects signals. Only the audible alert will tell you of detected signals. If you prefer, you can have XR70s display totally dark (see the Programming section).

Power-on indication o

After XR70s start-up sequence is complete, the alphanumeric display will show Highway, AutoScan, or City to indicate which sensitivity mode is selected. If you prefer, you can select alternate power-on displays. See the Programming section for details.
The Mute button, located on XR70s top case, allows you to silence the audio alert during a radar encounter. To mute the audio for a single specific signal, briefly press the Mute button. After that radar encounter has passed, the mute will automatically reset and the audio will alert you to the next encounter.

Page 13

Audible Alerts
For Radar signals: XR70 uses a Geiger-counter-like sound to indicate the signal strength and type of radar signal being encountered. When you encounter radar, a distinct audible alert will sound and occur faster as the signal gets stronger. This allows you to judge the distance from the signal source without taking your eyes from the road. Each band has a distinct tone for easy identification. K-band = buzzing Ka-band = double-chirp Ku-band = high pitched buzzing For Laser signals: Since laser is a possible threat no matter how weak, the XR70 alerts you to these bands at full strength. For Safety signals: XR70 will alert you to these signals with a double-beep tone, and a corresponding text message. A complete listing of the text messages is on page 23.

Power Connector

XR70's power jack uses a telephone-type connector. This new 6-pin connector only works with the included coiled SmartPlug, or the optional Direct-wire SmartPlug. The coiled SmartPlug is a special power cord that has a power-on indicator (which only lights up when the XR70 is turned on), a bright alert light that warns of radar or laser, and a convenient mute button right on the plug. It's perfect for any car where reaching the detector's mute button on the windshield is a stretch. For discreet night driving, put XR70 in the Dark mode, and use the SmartPlug for your visual alerts. Other drivers won't know you have a detector. An optional Direct-wire SmartPlug is also available. This version includes a small display module, which can be wired directly into your electrical system, with a 3 metre straight cord to route to your XR70.

Signal Strength Meter

XR70s alphanumeric display consists of 280 individual LEDs, to provide an intuitive ultra-bright display of signal strength and text messages. XR70s standard bar-graph signal strength meter only displays information on a single radar signal. If there are multiple signals present, XR70s internal computer determines which is the most important threat to show on the bar-graph meter. When XR70 detects radar, it displays the band (K, or Ka), and a precise bar-graph of the signal strength. When XR70 detects a laser signal, the display will show LASER. NOTE: If you are operating XR70 in the Dark mode, the display will not light when a signal is detected, only the audio will be heard.

Tech Display

Bel XR70s new Tech Display option is for the experienced detector user. In this mode, XR70 will display the actual numeric frequency of the radar signal being received.

K 24.150

Tech Display shows one K-band signal at 24.150 gigahertz.

Interpreting Alerts
Although the XR70 has a comprehensive warning system and this handbook is as complete as we can make it, only experience will teach you what to expect from your XR70 and how to interpret what it tells you. The specific type of radar being used, the type of transmission (continuous or instant-on) and the location of the radar source affect the radar alerts you receive. The following examples will give you an introduction to understanding the XR70s warning system for radar, laser and safety alerts.
XR70 alerts slowly for a while and then abruptly jumps to a strong alert. XR70 alerts intermittently. Rate and strength of alerts may be inconsistent or vary wildly.

Explanation

You are approaching a radar unit concealed by a hill or an obstructed curve. A patrol car is traveling in front of you with a radar source aimed forward. Because signals are sometimes reflected off of large objects and sometimes not, the alerts may seem inconsistent. A patrol car is approaching from the other direction, sampling traffic with instant-on radar. Such alerts should be taken seriously. You are driving through an area populated with radar motion sensors (door openers, etc.). Since these transmitters are usually contained inside buildings or aimed toward OR away from you, they are typically not as strong or lasting as a real radar encounter. CAUTION: Since the characteristics of these alerts may be similar to some of the preceding examples, overconfidence in an unfamiliar area can be dangerous. Likewise, if an alert in a commonly traveled area is suddenly stronger or on a different band than usual, speed radar may be set up nearby.
The XR70 begins to sound slowly, then the rate of alert increases. The Signal Meter ramps accordingly. XR70 emits short alerts for a few seconds and then falls silent only to briefly alert and fall silent again. XR70 suddenly sounds a continuous tone for the appropriate band received. All segments in the Signal Strength Meter are lit. A brief laser alert.
You are approaching a continuous radar source aimed in your direction. An instant-on radar source is being used ahead of you and out of your view. An instant-on radar source or laser source is being used nearby. This kind of alert requires immediate attention! Laser is being used in the area. Because laser is inherently difficult to detect, any laser alert may indicate a source very close by. A moving patrol car with continuous radar is overtaking you from behind. Because these signals are reflected (reflections are increased by large objects), they may or may not eventually melt into a solid point even when the patrol car is directly behind you.

XR70 alerts intermittently. Rate and strength of signal increases with each alert. XR70 gives an K-band alert intermittently.
XR70 receives weak signals. These signals may be a little stronger as you pass large, roadside objects. The signals increase in frequency.

Page 23

How Radar Works
Traffic radar, which consists of microwaves, travels in straight lines and is easily reflected by objects such as cars, trucks, even guardrails and overpasses. Radar works by directing its microwave beam down the road. As your vehicle travels into range, the microwave beam bounces off your car, and the radar antenna looks for the reflections. Using the Doppler Principle, the radar equipment then calculates your speed by comparing the frequency of the reflection of your car to the original frequency of the beam sent out. Traffic radar has limitations, the most significant of these being that it typically can monitor only one target at a time. If there is more than one vehicle within range, it is up to the radar operator to decide which target is producing the strongest reflection. Since the strength of the reflection is affected by both the size of the vehicle and its proximity to the antenna, it is difficult for the radar operator to determine if the signal is from a sports car nearby or a semi-truck several hundred feet away. Radar range also depends on the power of the radar equipment itself. The strength of the radar units beam diminishes with distance. The farther the radar has to travel, the less energy it has for speed detection. Because intrusion alarms and motion sensors often operate on the same frequency as radar, your XR70 will occasionally receive non-police radar signals. Since these transmitters are usually contained inside of a building, or aimed toward the ground, they will generally produce much weaker readings than will a true radar encounter. As you become familiar with the sources of these pseudo alarms in your daily driving, they will serve as confirmation that your XR70s radar detection abilities are fully operational.

How Laser (Lidar) Works

Laser speed detection is actually LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging). LIDAR guns project a beam of invisible infrared light. The signal is a series of very short infrared light energy pulses, which move, in a straight line, reflecting off your car and returning to the gun. LIDAR uses these light pulses to measure the distance to a vehicle. Speed is then calculated by measuring how quickly these pulses are reflected given the known speed of light. LIDAR (or laser) is a newer technology and is not as widespread as conventional radar, therefore, you may not encounter laser on a daily basis. And unlike radar detection, laser detection is not prone to false alarms. Because LIDAR transmits a much narrower beam than radar, it is much more accurate in its ability to distinguish between targets and is also more difficult to detect. AS A RESULT, EVEN THE BRIEFEST LASER ALERT SHOULD BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY.

There are limitations to LIDAR equipment. LIDAR is much more sensitive to weather conditions than RADAR, and a LIDAR guns range will be decreased by anything affecting visibility such as rain, fog, or smoke. A LIDAR gun cannot operate through glass and it must be stationary in order to get an accurate reading. Because LIDAR must have a clear line of sight and is subject to cosine error (an inaccuracy, which increases as the angle between the gun and the vehicle, increases) police typically use LIDAR equipment parallel to the road or from an overpass. LIDAR can be used day or night.

Page 25

How Safety Radar Works
Safety Warning System, or SWS, uses a modified K-band radar signal. The SWS safety radar system has 64 possible messages (60 currently allocated). The SWS messages your XR70 can display are listed on the facing page. From the factory, your XR70 is programmed with SWS decoding ON. If SWS is used in your area, your XR70 will display the safety messages associated with the signal. NOTE: Some of the safety messages have been condensed, so that each message can be displayed on one or two screens on XR70s eight-character display. Since Safety radar technology is relatively new, and the number of transmitters in operation is not yet widespread, you will not receive Safety signals on a daily basis. Do not be surprised if you encounter emergency vehicles, road hazards and railroad crossings that are unequipped with these transmitters. As Safety transmitters become more prevalent (the number of operating transmitters is growing every day), these Safety radar signals will become more common. Highway Construction or Maintenance

Troubleshooting

Problem

XR70 beeps briefly at the same location every day, but no radar source is in sight. XR70 does not seem sensitive to radar or laser.

Solution

K-band motion sensor or intrusion alarm is located within range of your route. With time, you will learn predictable patterns of these signals. Make sure that windshield wipers do not block XR70s radar antenna and that the laser lens is not behind tinted areas. Determine if your vehicle has an Instaclear, ElectriClear or solar reflective windshield which may deflect radar or laser signals. XR70 may be in City Mode. VASCAR (Visual Average Speed Computer and Recorder) a stopwatch method of speed detection, may be in use. Officer may not have radar or laser unit turned on. Safety transmitters may not be commonly used in your area.
Your 14-year old son has changed all 7 of the Programming options. XR70 will not turn on.
You can return all of the programming options to the factory defaults by holding down the CITY and BRT buttons while you turn XR70 on. Check that the power is ON. Check that vehicle ignition is ON. Check that vehicle lighter socket is functional. Try XR70 in another vehicle. It is normal for XR70 to feel warm.
