Solution
A motion sensor or intrusion alarm is located within range of your
route. If you have AutoLearn enabled, the factory default setting,
then ESCORT iX Ci will store this signal after about 3 passes and
no longer alert to it.

VASCAR (Visual Average Speed Computer and Recorder), a
stopwatch method of speed detection, may be in use.
Detector is in AutoMute mode. See “AutoMute” in the Settings &
Preferences section for details.
A loose power connection can cause ESCORT iX Ci to be briefly
disconnected and will retrigger the power-on sequence. Check all
connections.
Press and hold the MRK and BRT buttons while powering on the
detector. A “Restored” message will display, acknowledging
the reset.
Check that vehicle ignition is on.
ESCORT iX Ci is in Dark mode. Press the BRT button to adjust the
