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 Escort Live, 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 RedLine 360c is connected to a Wi-Fi hotspot 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
RedLine 360c offers seven 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 meter 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 being 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 – 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

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 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 RedLine 360c also includes ESCORT’s patented AutoMute feature. Once RedLine 360c 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 RedLine 360c 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.

RedLine 360c 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, RedLine 360c will unlock that signal. If you prefer, you can turn the AutoLearn feature off.

GPS Filter (TrueLock)
RedLine 360c 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, RedLine 360c 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 RedLine 360c’s other GPS- enabled features (e.g., Defender Database alerts, marking locations, etc.).

AutoPower
This feature automatically turns off RedLine 360c 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 RedLine 360c 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 RedLine 360c in this mode.

If you modify Band Enables then this setting will show Modified. The RedLine 360c 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
In the factory default setting, the suggested fixed location alerts are reported. It is highly recommended that you use your RedLine 360c in this mode.
If you modify Marker Enables then this setting will show Modified and only the Markers that you have selected are reported.

Marking Locations
The MRK button allows you to mark a specific location and label it for future reference. Once marked, RedLine 360c will provide an alert when you reach this area again.

UNDERSTANDING RADAR AND LASER

RADAR SPEED MONITORING SYSTEMS

Three band frequencies have been approved by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for use by speed monitoring radar equipment:

X band 10.525 GHz
K band 24.150 GHz
Ka band 33.400 – 36.00 GHz

LIDAR (LASER)

The correct name for the technology that most people refer to as laser is actually LIDAR, which stands for Light Detection and Ranging. LIDAR operates much like radar. Its signal spreads out like a radar signal, though not as widely.

Unlike radar, LIDAR must have a clear line of sight to its target vehicle throughout the entire measurement interval. Obstructions such as signposts, utility poles, tree branches, etc., will prevent valid speed measurement.

Some common questions about LIDAR include:

Does weather have any effect on LIDAR?
Yes. Rain, snow, smoke, fog or airborne dust particles will reduce the effective range of LIDAR and can, if dense enough, prevent its operation.

Can LIDAR operate through glass?
Yes. Newer LIDAR guns can obtain readings through most types of glass. However, the laser pulse also can be received through glass to trigger an alarm by your detector.

Can LIDAR operate while in motion?
No. Because LIDAR operates by line of sight, the person using it cannot drive the vehicle, aim and operate the gun all at the same time.

Is it legal for police to use LIDAR?
Yes, LIDAR is allowed to be used in all 50 States by police. Your detector detects LIDAR (laser).
