Settings & Preferences

AutoPower

This feature automatically turns off ESCORT iX 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 on again
you must press the power button. See the Settings &
Preferences section for details on how to customize
the AutoPower feature.
NOTE: If AutoPower is on, to save screen life the display
screen goes blank after 30 minutes without moving.
Display screen will turn on automatically after you
reach 10MPH.

Volume

To adjust ESCORT iX to your preferred audio level for
alerts, simply press and hold + or –. The audio will
increase/decrease while it is depressed. Once you
reach the desired audio level, simply release the
button. ESCORT iX will retain this setting in its
memory, even if the system is turned off.

Mute

The MUTE button allows you to silence the audio
during an alert. Simply press the button during the
alert. Once the radar encounter has passed, the mute
will disengage, and the audio will return to your pre-
set level. You can also silence an alert by pressing the
SmartCord USB MUTE button.

AutoMute

Your ESCORT iX also includes ESCORT's patented
AutoMute feature. Once ESCORT iX alerts you to a
radar encounter at your selected volume level, it
automatically reduces the volume to your desired
level. This keeps you informed without the
annoyance of a continuous full-volume alert. If you
prefer, you can turn the AutoMute feature off. See the
Settings & Preferences section for details.

SmartMute

If AutoMute has already reduced the volume for one
alert and a higher-priority band is detected, ESCORT
iX will sound an alert at your set volume for the
second band before adjusting the volume back down
to the AutoMute level.

User Mode

ESCORT iX offers two unique user modes:

Advanced

In this mode, you can access and customize all of
ESCORT iX's settings and preferences.

Novice

In this mode, you can access and customize units
(English or metric) and display color only. All other
preferences are set to the factory defaults. To view all
settings and preferences, you must switch back to
Advanced mode.

ESCORT iX's display brightness is automatically
adjusted to suit ambient lighting conditions in your
car. If you prefer, you can press the BRT button to set
a fixed brightness level:

Dark Dark mode
Minimum Minimum brightness

NOTE: If you select Dark mode, the display will not
provide any indication that it is on. Therefore, only
audible alerts will notify you of detected signals.

Speed Display

ESCORT iX displays your current speed just to the
right of the Over-Speed Alert setting (or posted speed
limit for your current location, if connected to ESCORT
Live). If you prefer, you can turn off the speed display
feature (see Settings & Preferences section for details).
If speed display is OFF, ESCORT iX will simply display
your battery voltage in this location

Radar Sensitivity

The SEN button allows you to select your preferred
radar sensitivity: Highway, Auto, AutoNoX, or AutoLoK.
In general, ESCORT recommends Auto for everyday
driving.
