UNDERSTANDING YOUR DETECTOR
How Radar Works
Traffic radar, which consists of microwaves, travels in straight lines and is easily reflected by objects such as cars, trucks, and even guardrails, and overpasses. Radar works by directing its microwave beam down the road. As your vehicle travels into range, the microwave beam bounces off your car, and the radar antenna looks for the reflections.
Using the Doppler Principle, the radar equipment then calculates your speed by comparing the frequency of the reflection of your car to the original frequency of the beam sent out.
Traffic radar has limitations, the most significant of these being that it typically can monitor only one target at a time. If there is more than one vehicle within range, it is up to the radar operator to decide which target is producing the strongest reflection. Since the strength of the reflection is affected by both the size of the vehicle and its proximity to the antenna, it is difficult for the radar operator to determine if the signal is from a sports car nearby or a semi-truck several hundred feet away. Radar range also depends on the power of the radar equipment itself. The strength of the radar unit’s beam diminishes with distance. The farther the radar has to travel, the less energy it has for speed detection. Because intrusion alarms and motion sensors often operate on the same frequency as X, and K-band radar, your detector will occasionally receive non-police radar signals. These transmitters generally produce much weaker readings than will a true radar encounter.
As you become familiar with the sources of these pseudo alarms in your daily driving, they will serve as confirmation that your device’s radar detection abilities are fully operational.

How Laser (Lidar) Works
Laser speed detection is actually light detection and ranging (LIDAR). Laser guns project a beam of invisible infrared light. The signal is a series of very short infrared light energy pulses that move in a straight line, reflecting off your car and returning to the gun. The laser uses these light pulses to measure the distance to a vehicle. Speed is then calculated by measuring how quickly these pulses are reflected, given the known speed of light.
Laser is a newer technology whose use is not as widespread as conventional radar; therefore, you may not encounter it on a daily basis. And unlike radar detection, the laser is not prone to false alarms. Because laser transmits a much narrower beam than does radar, it is much more accurate in its ability to distinguish between targets and is also more difficult to detect. As a result, even the briefest laser alert should be taken seriously. There are limitations to laser, however. A laser is much more sensitive to weather conditions than radar, and a laser gun’s range will be decreased by anything affecting visibility, such as rain, fog or smoke. A laser gun cannot operate through glass, and it must be stationary to get an accurate reading. Because laser must have a clear line of sight and is subject to cosine error (an inaccuracy that increases as the angle between the gun and the vehicle increases), police typically use laser equipment parallel to the road or from an overpass. The laser can be used day or night.

TSR Signal Ranking Software
Your radar detector includes an optional boost in false alert filtering software to eliminate excessive alerts from erroneous K-band sources. One example of this is traffic flow monitoring systems. These systems, which are becoming more widely used in several countries, generate K-band signals to measure the flow of traffic on a given road. Unfortunately, most detectors see this as a real threat and will alert you to it unnecessarily. Our proprietary TSR software, intelligently sorts, ranks, and rejects this type of false alarm automatically. The result is ultimate protection without excessive false alarms.

When the speed limit is exceeded by the set speed, the background for your current speed will change to red and a voice prompt will announce “Over Speed”. If no speed limit data is available and the display shows –, the Over Speed setting is used.

Meter Mode
MAX 360c MKII offers five different settings for displaying information about alerts.
Standard
The Standard meter mode provides only the band information and front signal strength information of a single alert. When radar is detected, the band (X, K or Ka) and a bar graph of the signal’s strength are displayed. When laser is detected, the display will simply read “Laser.” If there are multiple alerts present, only the highest priority threat is displayed. Laser is the highest priority threat, followed by Ka, K, then X band radar.
Standard FR1
The Standard FR1 meter mode (FR1 = Front and Rear signal strengths of 1 signal) displays the band of the highest priority threat along with a front and rear bar graph of its signal strength. The left bar graph shows the signal strength in front of the detector while the right bar graph shows the signal strength from the rear. If there are multiple alerts present, only the signal strength of the highest priority threat is displayed. Laser is the highest priority threat, followed by Ka, K, then X band radar. The number in between the bar graphs is the total number of alerts that are being detected.
Standard FR2
The Standard FR2 meter mode (FR2 = Front and Rear signal strengths of 2 signals) displays the bands of the two highest priority threats along with a front and rear bar graph of their signal strengths. The left bar graph shows the signal strength in front of the detector while the right bar graph shows the signal strength from the rear. When using this meter mode the rear signal strength bar graph is always the opposite color of the selected display color. For instance, if blue is the display color, then the rear bar graph will be red. If there are multiple alerts present, only the signal strength of the two highest priority threats are displayed. Laser is the highest priority threat, followed by Ka, K, then X band radar. The number in between the bar graphs is the total number of alerts that are being detected.
Spec FR1
The Spec FR1 meter mode (FR1 = Front and Rear signal strengths of 1 signal) displays the numeric frequency and band of the highest priority threat along with a front and rear bar graph of its signal strength. The left bar graph shows the signal in front of the detector while the right bar graph shows the signal strength from the rear. If there are multiple alerts present, only the signal strength of the highest priority threat is displayed. Laser is the highest priority threat, followed by Ka, K, then X band radar. The number in between the bar graphs is the total number of alerts that are being detected.
Spec FR2
The Spec FR2 meter mode (FR2 = Front and Rear signal strengths of 2 signals) displays the numeric frequency of the highest priority threat and the bands of the two highest priority threats along with a front and rear bar graph of their signal strengths. The left bar graph shows the signal in front of the detector while the right bar graph shows the signal strength from the rear. When using this meter mode the rear signal strength bar graph is always the opposite color of the selected display color. For instance, if blue is the display color, then the rear bar graph will be red. If there are multiple alerts present, only the signal strength of the two highest priority threats are displayed. Laser is the highest priority threat, followed by Ka, K, then X band radar. The number in between the bar graphs is the total number of alerts that are being detected.
Expert FR
Expert FR meter mode (FR = Front and Rear signal strengths) simultaneously tracks up to four radar alerts displaying each alert’s band along with a bar graph of their front and rear signal strengths. When using this metering mode the rear signal strength bar graph is always the opposite color of the selected display color. In the above image, a Ka-band, two K bands, and an X band signal are detected. The X band alert is grey to show that it is a locked-out false alert. For more information about locking out, false alerts see the GPS Filtering/TrueLock section. Expert FR meter mode 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
Simple messages replace 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 your current location when connected to Drive Smarter).
Slow Down is 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 Drive Smarter).

Tones
Standard
The factory default Standard alert tones use 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 = brand tone
Ka band = double-brap tone Laser = solid brap tone
POP = solid brap tone

Standard Plus
Features the Standard alert tones outlined above for the primary alert, plus double-beep tones for additional alerts.
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 the alert remains in area for more than 15 seconds = a Single chime (as a reminder)
Laser = Solid brand tone
Since laser signals are a possible threat no matter how weak, laser alerts are always full strength.

AutoMute
Your MAX 360c MKII also includes ESCORT’s patented AutoMute feature. Once MAX 360c MKII 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™ Intelligence
The AutoLearn feature analyzes (over time) the source of radar signals by location and frequency. This allows MAX 360c MKII 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 the display when a signal has been automatically locked out. AutoLearn needs to encounter the exact frequency in the same location approximately three times to lock it out. Since some door openers are turned on and off routinely, some variations may occur. Variations may also occur with seasonal temperature changes that can affect the frequency that these radar sources transmit.
MAX 360c MKII will also unlearn signals to protect you from locking out real threats. If a particular signal is no longer present at a location that was previously locked out, MAX 360c MKII will unlock that signal. If you prefer, you can turn the AutoLearn feature off.

GPS Filter (TrueLock)
MAX 360c MKII is equipped with a TrueLock GPS Filter to store and lockout, or ignore fixed location false alerts in its memory. Common sources of fixed location false alerts are storefront automatic door openers and motion sensors. The TrueLock GPS Filter will not lock out moving false alerts that are commonly caused by a vehicle’s blind spot monitoring and collision avoidance systems.
Locking Out False Alerts
To manually lock out a fixed location false alert (X band, K band or laser only), press the MUTE button three times during an alert. Pressing the first time will silence the audio. Pressing a second time will generate a prompt on the display that will read “Lockout?” Press a third time to confirm you want to lock this signal out by location and frequency. A “Stored” message will be displayed. Once a signal has been stored, MAX 360c MKII will not audibly alert the next time you approach this area but will display the locked-out alert in grey.

Locked Out Alert

To unlock a signal that has already been stored, simply press the MUTE button twice while receiving the locked-out alert. The display will read “Unlock?” when pressing MUTE the first time. Press the MUTE button again to unlock it from memory. The display will read “Unlocked” to confirm your action.
Note: When the GPS Filter is set to OFF, you do not have access to MAX 360c MKII’s other GPS- enabled features (e.g., Defender Database alerts, marking locations, etc.).

AutoPower
This feature automatically turns off MAX 360c MKII after a set period of time to save the unnecessary drain on your battery. This is especially useful if your vehicle has a constant-power ignition. To turn MAX 360c MKII on again you must press the power button.
Note: If AutoPower is on, to save screen life the display screen goes blank after 30 minutes without moving. The display screen will turn on automatically after you reach 10MPH.
Band Enables
In the factory default setting the suggested radar and laser bands for North America are monitored and sources of some common false alerts are rejected. It is highly recommended that you use your MAX 360c MKII in this mode.
If you modify Band Enables then this setting will show Modified. The MAX 360c MKII will also notify you during the startup sequence with an audible alert.
WARNING: Do not turn off any Band Enables unless you are absolutely certain there are no traffic radar guns in your area using that specific band.
K Notch
Reduces the sensitivity of the K band in the frequency range of 24.190 – 24.210 GHz. This is effective at reducing alerts to certain vehicle collision avoidance systems.
Shifters (only available when optional ZR5 or ZW5 laser shifters are connected) Sets the shifter mode of operation. Receive = receive-only mode. Shift4/6/8/10 puts the laser shifters into receive-only mode after 4/6/8/10 seconds from receiving an alert. After 30 seconds of not receiving a Laser alert, the shifters automatically return to shift mode. You can also manually put the laser shifters into receive-only mode by double tapping the Mute button on the detector or SmartCord.

Marker Enables
MAX 360c MKII gives advanced warning of upcoming markers at the following distances:

1,000 ft when traveling above 55 mph
Speed traps| 0.3 mi or approximately 1,584 ft
Other| 500 ft when traveling below 55 mph
1,000 ft when traveling above 55 mph

To Mark A Location
– Press MRK. The display will read “Mark?” Press MRK again to bring up a menu of markers to choose from.
– Use the plus and minus buttons to scroll through the markers then press MRK to select the marker that you wish to use at this location.
– The display will read “Marked!”
Air Patrol locations cannot be marked by the user.
Note: When a location is marked the first time, you must travel at least 1 mile away from that location to receive an alert when you return to the area.

To Unmark A Location
Touch the MRK button when you are receiving a marked-location alert. The display will read “Unmark?” Touch the MRK button again to confirm. The display will read “Unmarked!”
Clear Locations
At some point, you may wish to clear some of the data in MAXcam 360c MKII’s database. This may include any of the following: Defender Database data, Marked locations or false alert Lockouts. To clear locations in the selected database, select the database then press BRT twice to confirm. Format clears locations in all databases.
Wi-Fi
Turns on and off Wi-Fi connection to a hotspot.
NOTE: Compatible with 2.4 and 5 GHz hotspots.

Troubleshooting

The detector beeps briefly at the same location every
day, but no radar source is in sight.| A motion sensor or intrusion alarm is located within range of your route. If you have AutoLearn enabled, the factory default setting, then MAX 360c MKII will store this signal after about 3 passes and no longer alert to it.
Detector did not alert when a police car was in view.| Officer may not have a radar or laser unit turned on. VASCAR (Visual Average Speed Computer and Recorder), a stopwatch method of speed detection, may be in use.
