400% Better Range
The completely redesigned SOLO S2 provides long-range warning on all radar bands, including conventional and "instant-on" X-band, K-band, and Superwide Ka-band. Patented Digital Signal Processing (DSP) provides the longest warning possible without constant false alarms. A new waveguide antenna, a new low-powered digital receiver, and a high-speed microprocessor with Escort's proprietary software, all run efficiently on just two standard AA batteries. The results are impressive, including an astonishing 400% improvement in detection range on Ka-band over other cordless detectors.
High-Efficiency Power Management
The SOLO S2's new power management circuit has also been redesigned to give you the longest battery life possible. It constantly watches the condition of your batteries and reminds you to replace them before it's too late.
SOLO S2 uses only a fraction of the power used by conventional corded detectors. Using 2 standard AA batteries (included), the SOLO S2 provides months of normal driving protection. A new low-battery warning circuit keeps constant watch on the condition of the batteries, and provides you with both audible and visual alerts before they need to be replaced. We've also added a new AutoPower feature (programmable), which conserves battery life by automatically turning your SOLO S2 off when not in use, and can even remind you to turn it back on once you start rolling again.
You can also power the Escort S2 with an optional Escort Smart Cord
Ultra-Performance Laser Detection
The SOLO S2 uses multiple low-noise laser sensors to provide long-range warning, and the widest field of view against laser encounters.
Programmable Features
SOLO S2 packs 10 user programmable features, allowing you to customize it for your specific driving style. Your preferred settings are stored in memory, even when you replace batteries. Or, simply use SOLO S2's factory settings, allowing you to just turn it on and go.
High-Resolution Graphic LCD Display
A new, brilliant LCD display makes the SOLO S2 intuitive to use, and easy to understand. Each radar, laser and SWS signal is identified and communicated to you with clear messages. Signal strength is provided using three different types of meters (programmable), while the backlit display automatically adjusts for optimum viewing.
Safety Warning System
SOLO S2 provides unique audible and visual alerts for Safety Warning System (SWS) signals. These alerts (up to 64 messages) will keep you informed of road hazards in areas using this technology.
Comes Fully Equipped
The Cordless SOLO S2 comes ready to drive with a comprehensive Owner's Manual, quick-release adjustable windshield mount with extra suction cups, built-in earphone jack, travel case, and a set of AA batteries.
