Escort MAX 3 Owner's Manual page 14

Simple messages replace bands and signal strengths or frequencies:
Caution - used when an alert is received while you are traveling below your
current Cruise Alert setting (or posted speed limit for your current location when
connected to ESCORT Live).
Slow Down - displayed when an alert is received while you are traveling above
the current Cruise Alert setting (or posted speed limit of your current location,
when connected to ESCORT Live).
Tones
Standard
The factory default Standard alert tones 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
Mild
Mild alert tones offer softer, simpler alert tones that are less obtrusive to the driving
experience:
X band, K band, Ka band and POP = Doorbell chime
Low signal strength = Double chime
High signal strength = Triple chime
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, laser alerts are always full
strength.
AutoMute
Your MAX 3 also includes ESCORT's patented AutoMute feature. Once MAX 3 alerts you to a
radar encounter at your selected volume level, it automatically reduces the volume to the
selected AutoMute level. This keeps you informed without the annoyance of a continuous full-
volume alert. If you prefer, you can turn the AutoMute feature off.
AutoLearn
The AutoLearn feature analyzes (over time) the source of radar signals by location and
frequency. This allows MAX 3 to determine if a fixed location signal is a real threat or a false
one. If it determines that the signal is an automatic door opener, motion sensor, etc., it
automatically locks out this source at this particular location. A "Stored" message will appear on
