Please drive safely.
Windshield Mount
SOLO S4’s EasyMount windshield bracket is
designed for unobtrusive and hassle-free
mounting.
SOLO S4 Mounting Location
WARNING: ESCORT cannot anticipate the
many ways SOLO S4 can be mounted. It is
important that you mount SOLO S4 where it
will not impair your view nor present a
hazard in case of an accident.
For optimum detection performance, we
recommend the following:
• Using the supplied Windshield Mount, stick
the suction cups to the windshield, and
mount your SOLO S4 level and high enough
on your front windshield to provide a clear
view of the road ahead.
• Mount SOLO S4 away from windshield
wipers, other solid objects, and heavily
tinted areas that might obstruct the radar
antenna or laser lens.

Radar Antenna and Laser Lens
The rear panel of your SOLO S4 should have a
clear view of the road ahead. For best
performance, do not mount SOLO S4
directly behind windshield wipers
or tinted areas.
Graphic OLED Display
During an alert, the display will turn on and
indicate radar band, and a precise bar-graph
of signal strength. Programming options and
SWS messages are also displayed.
NOTE: When using SOLO S4 in battery mode,
the display will turn off automatically until a
signal is detected, or you enter program mode.
This maximizes battery life. When using the
optional 12-volt SmartCord, the display will
remain on and provide several pilot options for
power-on indication.
12-volt Power Jack
For 12-volt operation, plug the optional
SmartCord into this connector.
Mute / Battery Status Button
Briefly press this button (located on top) to
silence the audio for a specific alert.
Ear Phone Jack
A standard 1/8 inch (or 3.5 mm) earphone
jack is located on the right front side of the
SOLO S4.
SEN Button
Switches sensitivity between Highway,
AutoSensitivity, and City settings. In general,
we recommend the AutoSensitivity mode.
Volume Control
Press the up or down button to adjust the
volume.
EZ-Programming
SOLO S4 is ready to go, just plug it in and
turn it on. If you prefer, you can also easily
customize up to 9 features for your specific
driving preferences.
AutoMute
SOLO S4’s patented AutoMute automatically
reduces the volume level of the audio alert
after a brief period.
If you prefer, you can turn AutoMute off.
EasyMount Slot
Insert SOLO S4’s adjustable Windshield
mount into this slot.
EasyRelease Button
Press the release button, and slide the
Windshield mount into one of its four locking
positions.
Rear Laser Port
Receives laser signals from behind the vehicle.
Power-On Indication
Three LED's (green, yellow, red) mounted
between the PWR button and the display,
indicate power (blinking in battery mode,
solid when optional 12-volt power cord is
used). These also indicate the sensitivity
mode that the unit is in,( "H" for highway, "A"
for AutoSensitivity, and "C" for city).
PWR
Press the PWR button to turn SOLO S4 on.
Press and hold the PWR button to turn SOLO
S4 off.
AutoPwr Feature
The SOLO S4 will automatically shut off
once the vehicle has
stopped moving for
approximately
25 minutes.
Controls & Features
Installation
1
Depress the adjustment button on the top
of SOLO S4 (above the word “RELEASE”) and
slide the EasyMount bracket into the slot
until mount is locked into the position which
best fits the angle of your windshield (there
are four settings available). For extremely
horizontal or extremely sloped windshields,
the EasyMount bracket can be bent.
To ensure that the suction cups adhere to the
windshield firmly, be sure to keep both your
windshield and the suction cups clean.
2
To adjust SOLO S4 on your windshield, use
the EasyMount adjustment button located
on the top of the SOLO S4, and slide SOLO S4
forward or backward to obtain a level
horizontal position.
When installed and adjusted properly, the
back top edge of the SOLO S4 should rest
solidly against your windshield.
User’s Tip:
You can leave the EasyMount
bracket in place on your windshield, and
easily remove SOLO S4 by pressing the
adjustment button and sliding SOLO S4 off
the mount. Again, be sure to position the
bracket where it won't present a hazard in
the event of an accident. Additional mounts
are available at EscortRadar.com.
Battery Installation
Remove the battery door, located on the
bottom of the detector, and install (2) AA
batteries (supplied). Be sure to note the
correct polarity for each battery
(See legends inside battery compartment).
Optional
12-volt SmartCord
To power SOLO S4 using 12-volts, simply
remove the power connector plug, and
insert the small end of the optional
SmartCord, (telephone-type connector) into
the modular jack on SOLO S4’s right side.
Plug the lighter plug adapter into your
vehicle’s lighter socket or accessory socket.
The SmartCord allows you to operate the
SOLO S4 on 12 volts DC negative ground only.
The lighter plug is a standard size and will
work in most vehicles. Of course,
your lighter socket must be clean
and properly connected for proper
operation.
NOTE: Depending on your vehicle the power
socket may either be continuously on, or it may
be switched on and off with your ignition switch.
