Owner's Guide

SpecDisplay
The SpecDisplay option is an advanced display for
experienced detector users. In this mode, it will
display the actual numeric radar frequency being
received. Even long-time detector users will
require some time to get familiar with this new
level of information about detected signals. To
use SpecDisplay instead of the Standard bar graph
meter, select Spec in Preferences.

Settings & Preferences
User Mode
ESCORT MAX Ci oers two unique user modes:
Advanced
In Advanced mode you can access and customize
all settings and preferences.
Novice
In this mode, you can only access and customize
units (English or metric) and display color. All other
preferences are set to the factory defaults. To view
all settings and preferences, you must switch to
Advanced mode.
Pilot Mode
You can select the pilot mode power-on indication of
the unit. Scanning Bar shows an animated scanning
bar along with the selected sensitivity mode. Full
Word only displays the selected sensitivity mode.
Speed Display
ESCORT MAX Ci displays your current speed just to
the right of the Over Speed Alert setting (or the
posted speed limit for your current location, if
connected to ESCORT Live). If speed display is OFF,
your battery voltage will be displayed in this
location.
Cruise Alert
While you are traveling below the specied Cruise
Alert speed, all alerts will only sound a short
double-beep. The alert will fully sound when you
exceed the Cruise Alert speed. The factory default
setting is 20 mph.

Meter Mode
ESCORT MAX Ci oers seven dierent settings for
displaying information about alerts. Standard FR1
is the factory default meter mode setting.
Standard
The Standard meter mode provides only the band
information and signal strength information of a
single alert. When radar is detected, the band (X, K
or Ka) and a bar graph of the signal’s strength are
displayed. When laser is detected, the display will
simply read “Laser.” If there are multiple alerts
present, only the highest priority threat is
displayed. Laser is the highest priority threat,
followed by Ka, K, then X band radar.
Display Color
Your detector screen can be displayed with blue,
green, red or amber accents to match the
dashboard lighting of various vehicles.
ExpertMeter
ESCORT’s exclusive ExpertMeter option is also
designed for the advanced detector user. In this
mode, ESCORT MAX Ci 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. ExpertMeter can help
you spot a change in your normal driving
environment (e.g., a trac radar unit being
operated in an area where there are normally
other signals present).
Over Speed Alert
You can set the Over Speed alert to notify you
when you are traveling over a specied speed.
When you travel above the speed threshold that
you have set, the background display for your
current speed will turn red and a voice prompt will
announce that you have exceeded the set Over
Speed limit. When using Escort Live with the
ESCORT MAX Ci, the Over Speed setting is
automatically set to the speed limit showing on
the display. If no speed limit data is available from
Escort Live, the Over Speed setting is used. The
factory default setting is 70 mph.
Simple
Simple messages replace actual bands and signal
strengths or frequencies. “Caution” is 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” is 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).
