Spec FR
The Spec FR meter mode displays the numeric frequency and band of the highest priority threat along
with a front and rear bar graph of its signal strength. The left bar graph shows the signal in front of the
detector while the right bar graph shows the signal strength from the rear. If there are multiple alerts
present, only the signal strength of the highest priority threat is displayed. Laser is the highest priority
threat, followed by Ka, K, then X band radar. The number in between the bar graphs is the total number
of alerts that are being detected.
Expert FR
Expert FR meter mode (FR = Front and Rear signal strengths) simultaneously tracks up to four radar
alerts displaying each alert’s band along with a bar graph of their front and rear signal strengths. When
using this meter mode the rear signal strength bar graph is always the opposite color of the selected
display color. In the above image, a Ka band, two K bands, and an X band signal are being detected.
The X band alert is grey to show that it is a locked out false alert. For more information about locking out
false alerts see the GPS Filtering/TrueLock section. Expert FR 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 Drive Smarter).
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 DriveSmarter).
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
Standard Plus
Features the Standard alert tones outlined above for the primary alert, plus double-beep tones for
additional alerts.
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.
AutoMute
Your MAXcam 360c also includes ESCORT’s patented AutoMute feature. Once MAXcam
360c 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.
