Power Connector
The V955’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
Your V955’s alphanumeric display consists
of 280 individual LEDs, to provide an
intuitive ultra-bright display of signal
strength and text messages.
The V955’s standard bar-graph signal
strength meter only displays information on
a single radar signal. If there are multiple
signals present, the V955’s internal
computer determines which is the most
important threat to show on the bar-graph
meter.
When your V955 detects radar, it
displays the band (X, K, or Ka), and a
precise bar-graph of the signal strength.
When your V955 detects a laser signal, the
display will show “LASER.”
NOTE: If you are operating the V955 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:
Your V955 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 V955 alerts you to these bands at
full strength.
For Safety signals:
Your V955 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 21.
