Beltronics 980 - Manual (Page 19)

Safety Warning System ®
(sws
™
)
Alerts
With the Safety Warning System ® feature on and an sws ™
transmitter in use, your detector will provide a unique, 2 second
sws
™ tone coupled with a Safety Warning System ® category
word (i.e.“
Ha z d Zo n e
” indicating Highway Hazard Zone
Advisory) to quickly orient you to the type of situation
ahead. This introductory message is followed by a specific Text
Message (i.e.“
SHARP CURVE AHEAD
”) and Digital Voice
Message which is repeated twice. After the Digital Voice, the
unit will continue to present the message and provide the
“clicking” tone for as long as an sws
™ signal is detected. If two
separate sws ™ messages are received, each message is
presented twice before the “clicking” resumes.
You can replay the last sws ™ message received by pressing
the drk button within 30 seconds of receiving an sws ™ alert.
Both Digital Voice and Text Message are replayed.
If you have selected “
SWSt o n e ” (Digital Voice off), your
unit will show just the Text Message (see Selectable Features,
page 9).
Note—the end of a multiple word sws
™ message is indicated by
an asterisk.
