Mark Location Button (MRK)
The “MRK” button allows you to mark a specific
location and label it for future reference. Once
marked, the ESCORT iX Ci will provide an alert
before you reach this area again. This can be
extremely useful when there are known speed
traps or safety cameras in a particular location.
Display Brightness (BRT)
The “BRT” button selects your preferred brightness
level. The factory default setting is Auto (automatic),
which will adjust the display brightness based on
the ambient light in the vehicle.
Pilot/Alert Area
The display will show the speed limit
(speed limit is only available when
connected to the ESCORT Live app)
followed by a letter for the selected
sensitivity mode, followed by your
current speed. If you prefer, you can
choose other Pilot indications. During
an alert, the display will indicate the
radar band or laser, and a precise
bar-graph of the signal strength.
Note: In Dark Mode the display will not
light during an alert.
Sensitivity (SEN)
The SEN button selects the ESCORT iX Ci’s radar
sensitivity. The choices are:
Highway – Full sensitivity
Auto – Reduces X and K band sensitivity based on
the speed of the vehicle
AutoNoX – Same as Auto but without X band
detection
AutoLoK – Same as Auto but with lowered K band
sensitivity at all times
Power (PWR)
Press and hold to manually turn ESCORT iX Ci
on or off. If installed properly, the system will turn
on or off automatically with the vehicle’s ignition.
Volume Button (VOL)
Press and hold the VOL button to adjust the alert
volume level. The audio will ramp up or down
accompanied by a bar-graph on the display. To
change the direction of the audio ramping simply
release the VOL button and quickly press and hold
it again.
NOTE: Your preferred audio level will be
stored in memory, even after the detector is
turne
d
off.
Alert Tones
The 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
