Power Connector
V965's power jack uses a telephone-type
connector. This 4-conductor connector
only works with the included power cord,
optional direct-wire, or SmartPlug cord.

Signal Strength Meter
V965’s alphanumeric display consists of 280
individual LEDs, to provide an intuitive
ultra-bright display of signal strength and
text messages.
V965’s standard bar-graph signal
strength meter only displays information on
a single radar signal. If there are multiple
signals present, V965’s internal computer
determines which is the most important
threat to show on the bar-graph meter.
When V965 detects radar, it displays
the band (X, K, or Ka), and a precise bar-
graph of the signal strength. When V965
detects a laser signal, the display will show
“LASER.”
NOTE: If you are operating V965 in the
Dark mode, the display will not light when
a signal is detected, only the audio will be
heard.

Audible Alerts
For Radar signals:
V965 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.
X-band = chirping
K-band = buzzing
Ka-band = double-chirp
POP = full double-chirp
For Laser and POP signals:
Since laser and POP signals (if turned
on) are a possible threat no matter how
weak, the V965 alerts you to these bands at
full strength.
For Safety signals:
V965 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.
