Beltronics RX55 Manuale Proprietario

To turn the RX55 on, press the PWR button
on the left side of the top case. When you
turn the RX55 on, it goes through a
sequence of alerts.

If you prefer, you may program your

RX55 for a shorter power-on sequence. See
the Programming section for details.

After RX55’s start-up sequence is complete,
the alphanumeric display will show
Highway, City, or AutoScan to indicate
which sensitivity mode is selected.

If you prefer, you can select alternate

power-on displays. See the Programming
section for details.

The RX55 has our Digital Voice feature,
which provides a digital voice
announcement of the band being detecting.

If you prefer, you can turn the Digital

Voice feature off in programming. See
Programming section for details.

Your RX55 has our patented AutoMute
feature. After RX55 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.

To adjust the alert tone volume, press and
hold the Volume/Mute bar located on the
top case until display shows visual of
volume level.

The Mute button, located on RX55’s

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 Volume/Mute
button. After that radar encounter has
passed, the mute will automatically reset
and the audio will alert you to the next
encounter.

The City button selects RX55’s sensitivity
mode. We recommend the AutoScan mode
for most driving.

The RX55’s AutoScan mode provides

long-range warning, with minimum false
alarms. In this mode, the RX55’s internal
computer continuously analyzes all
incoming signals and intelligently adjusts
the sensitivity circuits.

You can also select conventional

Highway and City modes. When driving in
urban areas where annoying X-band 
intrusion alarms and door openers are
common, City mode can be engaged to
lower X-band sensitivity and reduce X-band
alerts. Full sensitivity is maintained on all
other bands. You can customize the RX55’s
City mode sensitivity. See the Programming
section for details. 

The RX55’s BRT button is located on the
top right, and selects the brightness of the
display. There are four settings: Maximum,
Medium, Minimum, and Dark. Press the
BRT button to select your preferred 
brightness.

When you select the Dark mode with the
BRT button, RX55 changes to a very 
inconspicuous power-on indication: a very
dim AD, HD, or CD. (In this display, the A,
H, or C indicates AutoScan, Highway, or
City, and the D indicates Dark.)

When RX55 is in the Dark mode, the

display will not show visual alerts when
RX55 detects signals. Only the audible alert
will tell you of detected signals.

RX55 uses a Geiger-counter-like sound

(and digital voice if programmed) 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 tone
K-band = buzzing tone
Ka-band = double-chirp tone

Since laser signals are a possible threat

no matter how weak, RX55 alerts you to all
laser signals with a full laser alert.

RX55 will alert you to these signals

with a double-buzz tone (and digital voice if
programmed) with a corresponding text
message. A complete listing of the text
messages is on page 23.
