Expert
ESCORT’s exclusive Expert meter option is designed for the advanced detector user. In this
mode, MAX 3 simultaneously tracks up to four radar signals. It shows each band along with a
bar graph of its signal strength. In the image above, a Ka band, K band and two X bands are
being detected with the greyed-out X band being a locked out false. Expert meter mode can
help you spot a change in your normal driving environment (e.g., a traffic radar unit being
operated in an area where there are normally other signals present).
Simple
Simple messages replace bands and signal strengths or frequencies:
Caution - used when an alert is received while you are traveling below your current Cruise
Alert setting (or posted speed limit for your current location when connected to ESCORT Live).
Slow Down - displayed when an alert is received while you are traveling above the current
Cruise Alert setting (or posted speed limit of your current location, when connected to
ESCORT Live).
Tones
Standard
The factory default Standard alert tones uses a Geiger counter-type sound to indicate the
signal strength and type of radar signal being encountered. When you encounter radar, a
distinct audible alert will sound and will increase as the signal gets stronger. This allows you
to judge the distance from the signal source without taking your eyes off of the road. Each
band has a distinct tone for easy identification:
X band = beep tone
K band = brap tone
Ka band = double-brap tone Laser = solid brap tone
POP = solid brap tone
Mild
Mild alert tones offer softer, simpler alert tones that are less obtrusive to the driving
experience:
X band, K band, Ka band and POP = Doorbell chime
Low signal strength = Double chime
High signal strength = Triple chime
If alert remains in area more than 15 seconds = Single chime (as a reminder)
Laser = Solid brap tone
Since laser signals are a possible threat no matter how weak, laser alerts are always full
strength.
