Escort 9500CI For Laser signals, For POP signals, For Safety signals, Marked Locations, KaKX

Controls and Features

For Laser signals:

Since laser signals are a possible threat no matter how weak, the 9500ci alerts you to these bands at full signal strength.

For POP signals:

Since POP signals are extremely fast K or Ka bursts, and a possible threat no matter how weak, the 9500ci alerts you to these bands at full signal strength.

For Safety signals:

The 9500ci will alert you to these signals with a double-beep tone, and a corresponding text message. A complete listing of the text messages

is on page 25.

Marked Locations

The 9500ci will alert you to marked locations with a double-beep tone, and a corresponding text message. A complete list of mark location labels are on page 8.

Voice Alerts

The 9500ci provides digital voice announcements (factory default) for alerts, feedback for button selections, and preferences.

If you prefer, you can turn off the voice feature in Preferences. See the Preferences section for details.

Display Brightness

The 9500ci’s display brightness is automatically adjusted by a sensor located behind the display lens. (factory default)

If you prefer, you can select one of the following fixed levels of brightness including Minimum, Medium, Maximum or Full Dark by pressing the “BRT” button located on the controller.

Signal Strength Meter

The 9500ci’s standard bar-graph meter only displays information on a single radar signal. If there are multiple signals present, the 9500ci’s internal computer determines which is the most important threat to show on the bar-graph meter.

When the 9500ci detects radar, it

displays the band (X, K, Ka), and a precise bar-graph of the signal strength. When the 9500ci detects a laser signal, the display will show “LASER.” When it detects a POP signal, the display will show “POP.”

NOTE: If you are operating the 9500ci in the Dark mode, the display will not display anything when a signal is detected. However, the back light on the Mute button, located on the controller, will flash to give you a visual alert.

ExpertMeter

Your 9500ci’s ExpertMeter Display option is an advanced display for experienced detector users. Please use the 9500ci for a few weeks to get familiar with its other features before using this meter type.

To use the ExpertMeter instead of the standard bar-graph signal strength meter, you must select ExpertMeter in the 9500ci’s Preferences (see pages 12-15).

The 9500ci’s ExpertMeter Display simultaneously tracks multiple radar signals and their relative signal strength. This can help you spot a change in your normal driving environment. For example, a traffic radar unit being operated in an area where there are normally other signals present.

The ExpertMeter Display is actually a miniature spectrum analyzer. It shows what band each signal is and its signal strength.

KaK'X'

Above is the ExpertMeter if the 9500ci was detecting a strong Ka-band, a weak K-band, and a weak X-band signal.

A few more examples will help you better see how the ExpertMeter works.

KX'

Here ExpertMeter shows a strong K-band signal and a weak X-band signal.

Ka' X

Here ExpertMeter shows a weak Ka-band signal, and a strong X-band signal.

Spec Display

The 9500ci’s Spec Display option is for the experienced detector user. In this mode, the 9500ci will display the actual numeric frequency of the radar signal being received.

K 24.150

Spec Display shows one K-band signal at 24.150 gigahertz.

Even long-time detector users will require a significant amount of time to get familiar with this new level of information about detected signals.
