Problem

Shifter will not turn on.

Shifter did not alert when a police
car was in sight.

Shifter display feels warm.

Shifter’s power-on sequence 
reoccurs while you are driving.

The alert LED stopped flashing
when you muted the audio.

During the start-up sequence, the
front alert indicator (LED) continues
to flash, and a double brap sound is
heard. 

During the start-up sequence, the
rear alert indicator (LED) flashes and
a double brap tone is heard.

Solution

• Check that the volume control is turned ON.
• Check that the vehicle ignition is ON.
• Check all connections.

• Officer may not have the laser unit turned on.
• Officer may have been targeting another vehicle.
• Officer may be using a radar gun, not a laser gun.

• It is normal for the display to feel warm.

• A loose power connection can cause the Shifter to be briefly
disconnected, and will trigger the power-on sequence.

• You have engaged the manual shut-off feature which
remains in a “receive only” mode for one minute.

• The front Shifters are not communicating to the interface.
Check all connections, or contact your installer.

• The rear Shifter is not communicating with the interface.
Check all connections, or contact you local installer.

The sole responsibility of ESCORT

under this Warranty is limited to either repair

the Shifter detector. There are no expressed
or implied warranties, including those of
fitness for a particular purpose or merchant-
ability, which extend beyond the face
hereof. Some states do not allow limitations
on how long an implied warranty lasts, so
the above limitations may not apply to you.

removal or reinstallation charges. ESCORT is
not liable for any incidental or consequential
damages arising from the use, misuse, 
installation, or mounting of the Shifter.
Some states do not allow the exclusion or

may not apply to you.

This Warranty gives you specific rights.

You may have other legal rights, which vary,
