Understanding Your Detector

How GPS Works

The Global Positioning
System (GPS) is made up of
twenty four orbiting satellites and was developed
by the U.S. military. There are at least four satellites
visible at any given time every day.
A GPS receiver is designed to locate and
receive data from four of these satellites. This data
includes the distance to your location from each of
the satellites. Once the distance from each satellite
is known, the receiver can calculate and pinpoint
your exact location.

How TotalShield Works

ESCORT's TotalShield Technology keeps RF signals
from radiating from the detector. Unlike other radar
and laser detectors, which merely move their RF
signals (local oscillators) to another frequency
(which will be detectable by future detector-
detectors), this revolutionary design keeps you
unseen by current radar detector-detectors,
including VG-2 and Spectre. This unique design will
also keep you unseen from any future radar
detector detectors as well.
Although the ESCORT MAX Ci 360 is a
completely undetectable radar, laser and safety
detector, driving techniques and reactions to alerts
can still draw unwanted attention. Here are a few
examples:
1. Hitting the brakes immediately when the
ESCORT MAX Ci 360 provides an alert can
broadcast use of a detector.
2. Traveling at night with a glow from a radar
detector's display visible from outside your
vehicle can also draw unwanted attention. The
ESCORT MAX Ci 360 offers adjustable brightness,
including a full dark mode which will provide
audio alerts, but no visual indication.
