Important Notes
Your new ESCORT MAX Ci 360 is the most advanced
custom-installed radar and laser defense system
ever designed.
The ESCORT MAX Ci 360 includes multiple LNA
(low noise amplier) receivers using Ultra DSP
(digital signal processing) for superior radar
detection range and false alert ltering while
reporting threat direction information. The
included Laser ShifterMax shifters deliver the
ultimate defense against all LIDAR laser guns,
including new variable pulse rate guns. Also
included is a full color OLED display and all the
performance and features that only ESCORT can
deliver.
In addition, the ESCORT MAX Ci 360 contains the
following revolutionary features:
• Updatable IV T Filter automatically reduces false
alerts from moving In-Vehicle Technology
systems and adaptive cruise control
• GPS location -based intelligence automatically
locks out false alerts and allows you to mark
locations for future reference
• Exclusive TotalShield™ Technology makes the
ESCORT MAX Ci 360 totally undetectable by any
radar detec tor detector (RDD)
• Access to ESCORT’s DEFENDER Database, which
warns you of veried speed traps, speed cameras
and red light cameras
• Built-In Bluetooth technology gives you access to
ESCORT’s award-winning real-time ticket
protection app, ESCORT Live!
Warning
Never, under any circumstances, look at the Laser
ShifterMax sensors while they are powered on
