Auto
In this setting, SmartRadar will continuously analyze all incoming signals and intelligently adjust the
sensitivity circuits, providing long-range warning with minimal false alarms.
Auto No X
Auto No X works the same as Auto mode; however, X-band is completely turned off.
Warning:
Do not use SmartRadar in Auto No X unless you are absolutely certain that there are
no traffic radar guns using X-band in your area.
Alert Tones
SmartRadar’s factory default for alert tones is
Mild mode
, which offers softer, simpler alert tones that
are less obtrusive to the driving experience:
X-band, K-band, Ka-band, and Pop = Doorbell chime
o
Low signal strength = Double chime
o
High signal strength = Triple chime
o
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,
SmartRadar alerts you to all laser signals with a full laser alert.)
If you prefer, you can change your alert tone settings to the ESCORT
Classic mode
, in which SmartRadar
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
See the Settings and Preferences section for details on switching your alert tones.
Voice Alerts
SmartRadar provides digital voice announcements for alerts and selection feedback. If you prefer, you
can turn off the voice feature. See the Settings and Preferences section for details.
Signal-Strength Meter
The matrix display consists of 280 individual LEDs to provide an intuitive ultra-bright display of signal
strength and text messages. When it detects radar, it displays the band of the radar (X, K, or Ka) and a
precise bar graph of the signal’s strength.
ExpertMeter
ESCORT’s exclusive ExpertMeter option is an advanced display for experienced detector users. Please
use SmartRadar for a few weeks to get fully familiar with its other features before using ExpertMeter.
