AutoMute
Your MAX 3 also includes ESCORT’s patented AutoMute feature. Once MAX 3 alerts you to a radar
encounter at your selected volume level, it automatically reduces the volume to the selected
AutoMute level. This keeps you informed without the annoyance of a continuous full-volume alert.
If you prefer, you can turn the AutoMute feature off.
AutoLearn
The AutoLearn feature analyzes (over time) the source of radar signals by location and frequency.
This allows MAX 3 to determine if a fixed location signal is a real threat or a false one. If it
determines that the signal is an automatic door opener, motion sensor, etc., it automatically locks
out this source at this particular location. A “Stored” message will appear on the display when a
signal has been automatically locked out. AutoLearn typically needs to encounter the exact
frequency in the same location approximately three times to lock it out. Since some door openers
are turned on and off routinely, some variations may occur. MAX 3 will also unlearn signals to
protect you from locking out real threats. If a particular signal is no longer present at a location that
was previously locked out, MAX 3 will unlock that signal. If you prefer, you can turn the AutoLearn
feature off.
GPS Filter (TrueLock)
MAX 3 is equipped with a TrueLock GPS Filter to store and lock out, or ignore, fixed location false
alerts in its memory. Common sources of fixed location false alerts are storefront automatic door
openers and motion sensors. The TrueLock GPS Filter will not lock out moving false alerts that are
commonly caused by vehicle’s blind spot monitoring and collision avoidance systems.
Locking Out False Alerts
To manually lock out a fixed location false alert
(X band, K band or laser only), press the MUTE button three times during an alert. Pressing the first
time will silence the audio. Pressing a second time will generate a prompt on the display that
will read “Lockout?” Press a third time to confirm you want to lock this signal out by location and
frequency. A “Stored” message will be displayed. Once a signal has been stored, MAX 3 will not
audibly alert the next time you approach this area but will display the locked-out alert in grey.
To unlock a signal that has already been stored, simply press the MUTE button twice while
receiving the locked out alert. The display will read “Unlock?” when pressing MUTE the first time.
Press the MUTE button again to unlock it from memory. The display will read “Unlocked” to
confirm your action.
Note: When the GPS Filter is set to OFF, you do not have access to MAX 3’s other GPS-
enabled features (e.g., Defender Database alerts, marking locations, etc.).
