Alert Tones
TonesSTD
(Alert Tones set to 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
T
(Alert Tones set to Standard Plus)
Features the Standard alert tones outlined above for
the primary alert, plus double-beep tones for
additional alerts.
TonesMLD
(Alert Tones set to Mild)
• 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
aMute LOW/MED*/HI
Your ESCORT MAX Ci includes ESCORT’s patented
AutoMute feature. Once ESCORT MAX Ci 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.
aMute OFF
(AutoMute is off)
In this setting, AutoMute is off.
AutoLearn
aLrn ON
(AutoLearn is on)
The AutoLearn feature analyzes radar signals by
location and frequency over time. This allows
ESCORT iX Ci to determine if a fixed location signal is
a real threat or a false one. If it determines that the
signal is an automatic door opener, motion sensor,
etc., it automatically locks out this signal at this
particular location. A “Stored” message will appear
on the display when a signal has been automatically
locked out. AutoLearn typically needs to encounter
the exact frequency in the same location
approximately three times to lock it out. Since some
door openers are turned on and off routinely, some
variations may occur. ESCORT iX Ci will also unlearn
signals to protect you from locking out real threats.
If a particular signal is no longer present at a
location that was previously locked out, ESCORT iX
Ci will unlock that signal. (factory default)
aLrn OFF
(AutoLearn is off)
In this setting, any false alerts will need to be locked
out manually using the MUTE button.

AutoPower
aPwrOFF/1HR/2HR/4HR/8HR
This feature automatically turns off ESCORT iX Ci after
a set period of time to save unnecessary drain on your
battery. This is especially useful if your vehicle has a
constant-power ignition. To turn ESCORT iX Ci on again
you must press the power button. (default setting is
4 hours)
Band Enables
In the factory default setting the suggested radar
and laser bands for North America are monitored
and sources of some common false alerts are
rejected. It is highly recommended that you use
your ESCORT iX Ci in this mode.
If you modify Band Enables then this setting will
show Modified. The ESCORT iX Ci will also notify
you during the startup sequence with an audible
alert, and associated text message stating that
bands are modified from the factory default
settings.
WARNING: Do not turn off any bands unless you are
absolutely certain there are no traffic radar guns using
that specific band in your area.
Shifters (optional, available separately)
By adding ShifterMax Pack Plus, ESCORT iX Ci can
be equipped with Laser ShifterMax sensors.
Additional sensors can be added to ESCORT iX Ci
separately. These highly sensitive laser transceivers
will detect a laser signal and, when Shifting is
enabled, will respond (or transmit) a pulsed signal
back in order to “Shift” or confuse the targeting
laser gun.
The MUTE button can be used to manually shut off
Laser Shifting once you have checked your speed.
Since some laser guns provide “jamming” codes for
the officer, this can be useful to avoid any undue
attention. Simply press the MUTE button twice
during a laser alert. All Shifters will cease to transmit
and the display will change from “Shifting” to
“Laser”. “Laser” indicates that you are receiving a
laser alert in “Receive Only” mode.
The Shifters will remain in the “Receive Only” mode
for approximately thirty seconds, giving you time to
pass the speed trap. Once this time has expired a
double beep tone will be given, indicating that the
Shifters are now back in “Shifting” mode.
