Beltronics 966R - Manual (Page 6)

The Vector Europa 966R is perfectly
tuned for the European situation.
Please note: In France and Belgium the use
of radar-detection equipment is prohibited
and can attract a substantial fine.
The advantage of the Vector Europa 966R
is that it can be installed virtually invisibly
(in contrast to windscreen-mounted
detection equipment). It is therefore
unlikely that you will be 'caught' unawares.
However, you may choose to leave your
Vector Europa 966R at home when travel-
ling abroad.
In most European countries the use of
radar-detection is not prohibited. Like your
radio, a detector is an ordinary receiver.
You are probably familiar with
them:
a. Checks using static boxes (often in a
concealed position next to the road)
b. Or using stationary vehicles or trailers
c. Or using hidden equipment mounted
in a post.
Often, if you exceed the maximum
speed limit, you are also photographed
and stopped immediately.
On European motorways the standard
equipment used is 34 and 24 GHz.
In a few cases older equipment is still used,
which operates on 9.41, 9.9 or 13.450 GHz.
Such equipment is no longer in production
and will therefore disappear completely in
due course.
