Escort 9500ix Frequently
Asked Questions
Q: How is the Escort 9500ix different from the
Escort 8500?
A: The new Escort 9500ix does everything the
Escort
8500 X50 does and more. Here is a list of the features you will
only find on the new Escort 9500ix.
-
Escort 9500ix will intelligently learn and remember
areas with false alerts (by location and specific frequency)
and permanently lock them out using Escort's new GPS powered TrueLock feature. Even if a police officer is someday using
radar in an area you locked out as a false alert area, the 9500ix
will alert you to that new frequency.
-
The Escort Passport 9500ix's "Mark Location"
feature also allows you to store a specific location in memory.
Once stored, the Escort 9500ix will provide an alert well in
advance to remind you of the danger before you get there. You
can now mark any known speed trap area and the 9500ix will alert
you to this area when you are getting close.
-
The Escort Passport 9500ix can vary its sensitivity
based on the vehicle speed. At interstate speeds, all radar
bands are operating at full sensitivity, providing the best
possible performance. At slower speeds, X and K-band sensitivity
is minimized, giving you full protection, but at a range you
need at that speed.

The Escort 9500ix will display your speed during
an alert to help you make the best possible decision.

based on the ambient noise in your vehicle. If you are in a
convertible, your 9500ix will recognize the increased noise around
you and alert you at a louder volume.

travel.

for crystal clear alerts and user controls.

light cameras, speed cameras and speed traps.
