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, 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. 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, 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. 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. Laser can be used day or night.
TSR Signal Ranking Software
Your radar detector includes an optional boost in anti-falsing 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.

preferences, you must switch to Advanced mode.
-
Display Color
The display graphics can be changed to blue, green, red or orange to match the instrument lighting of your vehicle. -
Speed Display
Turns Speed Display off or on. When Speed Display is off, the vehicle’s voltage is displayed. -
Cruise Alert
While traveling below the set Cruise Alert speed, all alerts sound a short double beep. The alert will fully sound when you exceed the Cruise Alert speed. -
Over Speed
You can set the Over Speed alert to notify you when you are traveling over a specified speed. When you travel above the speed that you have set, the background display for your current speed will turn red and a voice prompt will announce “Over Speed”.
When connected to the Drive Smarter app, the Over Speed setting is automatically set to the speed limit showing on the display. If no speed limit data is available and the display shows –, the Over Speed setting is used. -
Over Speed Limit
NOTE : this setting only applies when MAX 4 is connected to Bluetooth® with internet connectivity. 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 4 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 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. -
Spec
The Spec meter option is an advanced display for experienced detector users. In this mode, it will display the actual numeric radar frequency being received. Even long-time detector users will require some time to get familiar with this new level of information about detected signals. To use Spec instead of the Standard bar graph meter, you must select it (Spec) in Preferences. -
Expert
ESCORT’s exclusive Expert meter option is designed for the advanced detector user. In this mode, MAX 3 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. Expert meter mode can help you spot a change in your normal driving environment (e.g., a traffi c 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
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
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 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 identifi cation:
- X band = beep tone
- K band = brap 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 off er 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 4 also includes ESCORT’s patented AutoMute feature. Once MAX 4 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 4 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 affects the frequency that these radar sources transmit.
MAX 4 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 4 will unlock that signal. If you prefer, you can turn the
AutoLearn feature off.
GPS Filter (TrueLock)
MAX 4 is equipped with a TrueLock GPS Filter to store and lock out, 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 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 4 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 4’s other GPS- enabled features (e.g., Defender Database alerts, marking locations, etc.).
AutoPower
This feature automatically turns off MAX 4 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 MAX 4 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 4 in this mode.
If you modify Band Enables then this setting will show Modified. The MAX 4
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 sensitivity of 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 4 gives advanced warning of upcoming markers at the following distances:
- Red light cameras 250 ft or 10 seconds
- Red light & speed cameras 250 ft or 10 seconds
- Speed cameras 500 ft when traveling below 55 mph
- 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 fi rst 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 confi rm. The
display will read “Unmarked!”
Clear Locations
At some point, you may wish to clear some of the data in MAX 4’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
