Managing Alerts Your detector will continue to receive radar/laser alerts per the settings and preferences you have selected, but now you’ll also receive live alerts from other users via ESCORT Live’s real-time alert database. In addition, you’ll be alerted to verified speed traps, speed cameras, and red light cameras via ESCORT’s DEFENDER Database.
A confirmation message will appear on the screen. To report a cop spotted while NOT receiving an alert, simply press the Report Button on SmartCord Live. Or, tap the Mark/Report Icon at the bottom left of the Map or Dash View, then tap Cop Spotted. To report a mobile speed camera in the area, tap Mobile Camera.
A confirmation message will appear on the screen. Muting an Alert You can easily mute an alert that is in progress by tapping anywhere on the screen while receiving the alert. You can also silence an alert by pressing the Mute Button on SmartCord Live. A “Muted” message will appear, and the alert notification will be minimized to the bottom of your iPhone screen.
Locking Out an Alert Enabled only while running the ESCORT Live app ESCORT Live’s TrueLock GPS Radar/Laser Detector Filter technology allows you to lock out and store in its memory false alerts. To lock out a false alert, simply swipe right across the screen, tap “Lockout” on the screen, or press the SmartCord Live Mute Button three times while receiving the alert. A “Locked Out” message will appear on the screen.
Once locked, ESCORT Live will reject the signal the next time you approach the area and will display the locked-out alert in gray at the bottom of your iPhone screen. To unlock an alert, simply swipe right across the gray alert area at the bottom of your screen or press the SmartCord Live Mute Button three times while receiving the locked-out alert. An “Unlocked” message will appear on the screen.
3. Tap the appropriate icon for the type of location you are marking. The marker you selected will appear in the location along your route in Map View. To mark the location of a past alert: 1. Tap the History Icon at the bottom of the screen. Your alert history will display. 2. Tap the Mark/Report Icon next to the alert location you want to mark. 3. The display will show the following blue marker icons: Speed Camera (fixed), Red Light Camera, Speed Trap, and Other.
4. Tap the corresponding icon to confirm the type of location you are marking. 5. Tap Done at the top right of the screen. 6. The marker you selected will appear in the location along your route in Map View. To unmark a location: 1. Tap the marker in Map View. 2. The display will show the type of marker, along with the Trash Can Icon.
3. Tap the Trash Can Icon. A message will display asking you to confirm this action. 4. Tap Delete to unmark the location or Cancel to return to Map View.
Settings and Preferences The Settings Icon leads you to a menu of options for customizing ESCORT Live and your detector to your personal preferences. Alert Settings Here, you can customize the types of alerts you want to receive, the sounds of the alerts, the distance at which you’d like to receive them (500–2500 ft out), and, for some alerts, whether you want them displayed on the map.
App Settings Here, you can choose whether you want to receive background updates (that is, continue running the app in the background on your iPhone). You can also set your OverSpeed Alert to notify you when you are traveling over the posted speed limit for your current location. You can customize this feature to provide alerts once you’ve reached the speed limit, or at 5 mph, 7 mph, 10 mph, or 15 mph over the posted speed limit.
Troubleshooting Bluetooth Pairing Tips If you’re having trouble with your Bluetooth connection, try the following: • Turn off your detector, wait 30 seconds, then turn it back on. On your iPhone, turn Bluetooth off and then on again. • In the Bluetooth Settings menu of your iPhone, tap the arrow icon next to SmartCord Live, then tap Forget this Device. Wait for SmartCord Live to appear under Devices, then press SmartCord Live to reinitialize pairing.
