13. Audio Alert Speaker: Emits separate audio tones for X,
K, Ka, Instant-On/ Pulsed radar and laser.
OPERATION
MEMORY RETENTION FOR PREFERRED SETTINGS
There is no need to reset your preferred settings every
time you turn the detector on. Your settings for volume
level, brightness, and city mode will be stored in the
detectors’ memory.
A start-up sequence occurs each time you turn on Express
795 and consists of:
1.
The power-on LED indicator will illuminate.
2.
The laser band indicators illuminate, coupled with the
alternate flashing of the 4 red signal strength LEDs (outer
two LEDs followed by inner two LEDs). A distinct audio
tone (high-pitched beeping) will also be heard.
3.
The Ka band LED indicator illuminates and the Ka band
audible alert tone (double chirp) is heard.
4.
The K band LED indicator illuminates and the K band
audible alert tone (buzz) is heard.
5.
The X-band LED indicator illuminates and the X-band
audible alert tone (chirp) is heard.
Note: Regardless of the brightness setting, all LEDs will fully illuminate
during the start-up test sequence. This provides a visual confirmation that
the display is working.
SETTING THE AUDIO LEVEL
VOLUME/MUTE Button
Press and hold the VOLUME/MUTE button to change the
audio level. An initial “beep” will sound, followed by the
decreasing audio. Release the button and press and hold
a second time to increase the volume level. Whenever the
audio level is changed, the 4 red LEDs on the signal
meter will provide a visual reference.
17262_795_Manual 1/24/05 9:14 PM Page 8
MUTE
Instant On
The MUTE button allows you to silence the audio during
an alert. To mute the audio for a single alert, briefly
press the VOLUME/MUTE button during that alert. After
that radar signal has passed, the mute will automatically
reset and the audio level will alert you to the next signal
at the volume you have set.
When an “instant on” radar signal is detected, the Express
795 will emit a continuous band “beep” accompanied by all
of the signal strength LEDs flashing. This will be followed
by the specific radar band tone and LED indicators.
CONTROLS AND FEATURES
AutoMute
Brightness (BRT) Button
After the Express 795 alerts you to a radar encounter at
the volume you have selected, the AutoMute feature will
automatically reduce it to a lower level of audio (factory
default). This keeps you informed without the annoyance
of a continuous full-volume alert.
This button allows you to select either “bright”, “dim” or a
full “dark” modes. To dim all LEDs on the display, press the
BRT button once. This reduces the brightness by approximately one half.
To put the detector into “dark” mode, simply press the BRT
button once again.
To deactivate AutoMute, simply press the VOLUME/MUTE
button without a signal present. A double beep tone will
acknowledge the change. To activate AutoMute, simply
press VOLUME/MUTE again without a signal present and
a single “beep” will acknowledge the change.
Note: The green power (P) indicator remains dim to indicate that the
detector is on.
Each time you press the BRT button, an audible confirmation should be heard. If you do not hear this audible confirmation, check the volume level on the detector, it may be
too low.
AUDIO ALERTS
Radar
Each radar band has a distinct tone for easy identification.
To return to full brightness, simply press the BRT button a
third time.
X-band = chirping tone
K-band = buzzing tone
Ka-band = double chirp tone
CITY Button
The City mode filters out unwanted radar signals including
intrusion alarms, motions sensors, and automatic door
openers. These types of signals are typically found in congested urban areas.
Laser
Since laser alerts are always an immediate threat, the E795
alerts you to all laser signals with a full laser alert.
To activate City mode, simply press the CITY button once.
A single “beep” will be heard, and the LED marked “C” will
illuminate. In this mode, low level signals will still be seen
17262_795_Manual 1/24/05 9:14 PM Page 10
visually on the display. However, no audio will be heard
until the signal strength reaches a predetermined level or
threshold.
1.
Depress the adjustment button on the top of unit (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 extreme horizontal or sloped windshields,
the QuickMount bracket can be bent.
To deactivate City mode, press the CITY button again. A
double “beep” will be heard, and the green LED marked
“C” will turn off.
To ensure that the suction cups adhere to the windshield
firmly, be sure to keep both your windshield and the suction cups clean.
Note: City mode has no effect on the sensitivity or reception of laser
signals.
2.
To adjust the unit on your windshield, use the
QuickMount adjustment button located on the top of the
E795, and slide E795 forward or backward to obtain a
level position.
INSTALLATION
Mounting Location
WARNING: BELTRONICS cannot anticipate the many ways the E795
can be mounted. It is important that you mount the E795 where it will not
impair your view nor present a hazard in case of an accident.
Mounting Express 795
For optimum performance, we recommend the following:
•
Using the QuickMount windshield bracket, mount your
E795 level and high enough on your front windshield to
provide a clear view of the road from the front and rear.
•
Mount Express 795 away from windshield wipers, other
solid objects, and heavily tinted areas that might obstruct
the radar antenna or laser lens.
When installed and adjusted properly, the back top edge
of E795 should rest solidly against your windshield.
Caution! A few vehicles (including some German manufactured vehicles)
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 owner’s manual to determine if your windshield
has this coating.
QuickMount windshield bracket
The QuickMount windshield bracket is designed for unobtrusive and hassle-free mounting. To install the Express
795 using the QuickMount windshield bracket, follow
these steps:
10
User’s Tip
11
You can leave the QuickMount windshield bracket in
place on your windshield, and easily remove your unit by
pressing the adjustment button and sliding the detector off
the mount. Again, be sure to position the bracket where it
won’t present a hazard in the event of an accident.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Note: Use of the unit on cars equipped with the optional Instaclear® and
ElectriClear® windshields is to be avoided entirely. These “heated
windshields” reflect radar signals and make any dash, visor or windshield
mounted detector ineffective.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
If your unit is not receiving power, or not operating correctly, please refer to the outline below:
Power Connection
To power Express 795, plug the small end of the power
cord, (telephone-type connector) into the modular jack on
the detector’s right side; plug the lighter plug adapter into
your vehicle’s lighter socket or accessory socket.
Express 795 operates on 12 volts DC (negative ground
only). The lighter plug provided is a standard size and
will work in most vehicles. However, some vehicles may
require the optional European sleeve to ensure a snug fit.
If so, simply call our service department to order one.
This sleeve slides over the power cord’s lighter plug
adapter. Of course, your lighter socket must be clean and
properly connected for proper operation.
