ExpertMeter
ESCORT's exclusive ExpertMeter option is also
designed for the advanced detector user. In this
mode, ESCORT iX simultaneously tracks up to four
radar signals. It shows each band along with a bar
graph of its signal strength. In the image above, a Ka
band, K band and two X bands are being detected
with the greyed out X band being a locked out false.
ExpertMeter can help you spot a change in your
normal driving environment (e.g., a traffic radar unit
being operated in an area where there are normally
other signals present).
Simple
In this mode, Simple messages replace actual bands
and signal strengths or frequencies. "Caution" is
used when an alert is received while you are traveling
below your current Cruise Alert setting (or posted
speed limit for current location, when connected to
ESCORT Live). "Slow Down" is displayed when an alert
is received while you are traveling above the current
Cruise Alert setting (or posted speed limit for current
location, when connected to ESCORT Live).
NOTE: ESCORT iX's selectable bands feature allows you to
customize which bands are monitored. For details on
modifying your band detection, see the Settings &
Preferences section. For details on the various radar/laser
bands and how they work, see the Understanding Your
Detector section.

How To Use Preferences
To access Preferences, press and hold both the MRK
and SEN buttons. ESCORT iX will display "Preferences,"
indicating it is in program mode.
Once the unit is in Preferences mode, the MRK button
is used to review the preference categories, and
the + and − buttons are used to change the individual
settings within the selected option.
To exit Preferences, simply wait a few seconds
without pressing a button. A "Completed" message
will display, confirming your selection(s).
Example:
Here's how you would turn the Speed Display off:
1 Enter Preferences by pressing and holding both the
MRK and SEN buttons. ESCORT iX will display
"Preferences."
2 Press the MRK button to scroll through the
categories to "Speed Display."
3 Since the factory setting is for Speed Display to be
ON, ESCORT iX will show Speed Display as ON.
4 Press the + or − button to change from ON to OFF.
5 To complete this change, simply wait a few seconds
without pressing a button. The unit will display
"Completed" to confirm your selection.
NOTE: You can only access and customize the Speed
Display feature while in the Advanced user mode. See
the Overview of Preferences chart for details on how to
switch user modes.
