Description

The 8500 Just Went Cordless!

 

 

 

Never again must you choose between convenience and performance. The revolutionary new cordless SOLO S2 creates the most powerful combination of long range performance and convenient battery operation ever - it's simply amazing!

 

No other detector provides the portable convenience and protection of the SOLO S2. It's easy to own and operate. No more cords - just stick it to the windshield, turn it on, and you're ready to go. The SOLO S2 is ideal for the person who is constantly in and out of rental cars, or just wants the easiest-to-use protection.

 

Details

 

  • Cordless detector operates on 2 AA batteries which is perfect for people that travel with rental cars or want the flexibility to switch between cars
  • High-efficiency power management maximizes battery life
  • Cordless doesn't mean less sensitivity...the range is superb!
  • Programmable so that you can choose which style of read out you want or the actual radar band number
  • Immune to VG-2 radar gun means law enforcement can't tell if you are using a radar detector
  • Built-in earphone jack for use with motorcycles
  • RadarTest.com says "the Solo S2 is unquestionably the most sophisticated, high-performance cordless detector on the planet"
  • Limited one year warranty

 

 

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.

Best Cordless available, period

This detector is amazing, another person on here said the mount was flimsy, I don't really know why that was a complaint or why it warranted only 3 stars. This detector is 5 stars...Read complete review

This detector is amazing, another person on here said the mount was flimsy, I don't really know why that was a complaint or why it warranted only 3 stars. This detector is 5 stars all the way, it has very good range especially considering it is cordless (and it even has an optional corded possibility!). I just went on a trip all over the Western US and saw three drivers pass me as my detector alerted me and they all got pulled over!!! I was ecstatic, I cannot put into words how invaluable this guy is on long trips through other states!

My only small issue was it got some false reads in cities, but hey that goes with the territory right? They put a mute on this thing for that very reason. The mount was not flimsy and the thing only rocked when I was on bumpy poorly upkept roads, again that goes with the territory. If you are looking for a very solid detector without the hassle of hooking cords all over your dash this is the unit for you!

Yes, this is the best cordless detector you can get. Problem is, you have to sacrifice sensitivity because of the fact it operates on batteries. The batteries last a long time, but IMO, too long. I would love to have this unit generate a little more power to up the sensitivity at the expense of recharging my batteries more often. The unit is a bit light, but not flimsy. Excellent detector overall, but if you push your luck, go with a corded one. Top choice for people who have to stash it fast, move from car to car, or need one on their motorcycle. Has a headphone adapter, which is convenient. This is an old design, it would be nice to see a new design come out with some more power and sturdier feel. VG2-proof, but Spectre will catch this one, so be ready to turn it off fast if you're in Ontario.

      Comments about Escort Solo S2 Cordless Radar Detector:

      I have owned radar detectors since 1984 and have traveled extensively throughout the US. I prefer the Solo 2 to any detector including the Valentine and Passport 9500ix. The S-2 has excellent range, dependability and power management. Installation is clean and there is a minimal difference in detection time and distance when compared to the best corded detectors. Don't waste your money on similar corded detectors from Bell, Escort and Valentine that will give you nothing more than increased false alarms.

          Bought the SOLO S2 about 3 years ago.This year k-band false alarms started.Call Escort,they said yes k-band is a problem.No fix for the S2,they would give me [$] trade in for a [$] detector.I spend more time hitting the mute button than is acceptable. If I turn off k-band what good is the detector.DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY.
