How TotalShield Works
ESCORT’s TotalShield Technology keeps RF signals
from radiating from the detector. Unlike other radar
and laser detectors, which merely move their RF
signals (local oscillators) to another frequency
(which will be detectable by future detector-
detectors), this revolutionary design keeps you
unseen by current radar detector-detectors,
including VG-2 and Spectre. This unique design will
also keep you unseen from any future radar
detector detectors as well.
Although the ESCORT MAX Ci is a completely
undetectable radar, laser and safety detector,
driving techniques and reactions to alerts can still
draw unwanted attention. Here are a few examples:
1. Hitting the brakes immediately when the
ESCORT MAX Ci provides an alert can broadcast
use of a detector.
2. Traveling at night with a glow from a radar
detector’s display visible from outside your
vehicle can also draw unwanted attention. The
ESCORT MAX Ci oers adjustable brightness,
including a full dark mode which will provide
audio alerts, but no visual indication.
How GPS Works
The Global Positioning
System (GPS) is made up of
twenty four orbiting satellites and was developed
by the U.S. military. There are at least four satellites
visible at any given time every day.
A GPS receiver is designed to locate and
receive data from four of these satellites. This data
includes the distance to your location from each of
the satellites. Once the distance from each satellite
is known, the receiver can calculate and pinpoint
your exact location.
Understanding Your Detector
TSR Signal Ranking Software
Your radar detector includes a new
optional boost in anti-falsing software
to eliminate excessive alerts from
erroneous X and K-band sources. One
example of this is trac ow monitoring systems.
These systems, which are becoming more widely
used in several countries, generate K-band signals
to measure the ow of trac on a given road.
Unfortunately most detectors see this as a real
threat and will alert you to it unnecessarily. Our new
proprietary software (TSR), intelligently sorts, ranks
and rejects this type of false alarm automatically.
The result is ultimate protection without excessive
false alarms.
The TSR software is set up as an option and
can be activated through the Programming section.
We suggest you turn TSR on if you are experiencing
extreme false alerts in your area. If not, your
detector is ready to start protecting you right out of
the box.

feature, please give us a call or visit our website for
