Description

Cordless Detection Just Got a New Benchmark - The New and Improved Escort SOLO S3 Cordless Radar Detector

 

The most powerful cordless radar detector on the market, longer range for all bands, brilliant OLED display for easier readability and a sleek new black design.

 

Radar Roy says "In summary the Escort SOLO S3 by far holds up to its claim of being the top cordless radar detector ever made.  They have been able to find an equitable balance of sensitivity and performance in a cordless platform"

 

SOLO S3. Cordless Freedom. Better Performance.
Enhanced Display | Sleek Styling | Cordless Convenience
No other detector provides the portable convenience and protection of the SOLO S3. It's easy to own and operate. No more cords - just place it on the windshield or dashboard, turn it on, and you're ready to go. The SOLO S3 is ideal for the traveler who is constantly in and out of rental cars or just wants the easiest-to-use protection.

 

High-Efficiency Battery Design
SOLO S3 uses only a fraction of the power used by conventional corded detectors. Using 2 standard (AA) batteries (included), the SOLO S3 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. A new AutoPower feature (programmable) automatically turns the SOLO S3 off to conserve battery life.

 

Long-Range Radar Protection
The redesigned SOLO S3 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.

 

Ultra-Performance Laser Protection
The SOLO S3 uses multiple low-noise laser sensors to provide long-range warning and the widest field of view against laser encounters.

 

Programmable Features
SOLO S3 packs 9-user programmable features, allowing you to customize it for your specific driving style. Your preferred settings are stored in memory, even when you replace SOLO S3's batteries. Or, simply use SOLO S3's factory settings, allowing you to just turn it on and go.

 

High-Resolution Graphic Display
A new brilliant OLED display makes the SOLO S3 intuitive to use and easy to understand. Each radar, laser or SWS signal is identified and communicated to you with clear messages. Signal strength is provided using two types of meters (programmable) which include Standard Bar-graph and ExpertMeter.

 

Safety Radar Signals
SOLO S3 provides unique audible and visual alerts for Safety Warning Systems (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 S3 comes ready to drive with a comprehensive Owner's Manual, adjustable quick-release windshield mount, travel case and a set of AA batteries. Limited One Year Warranty.

        Comments about Escort SOLO S3 Cordless Radar Detector:

        I have 2 cars and in my "faster" car I have a valentine1. Great radar detector. I bought the solo for my other car and it works good. It picks up a few more false alarms than the V1 but not too bad. I compared them side by side and the valentine1 picks up a little quicker. But the radar works great and I use rechargeable batteries in it.

              Comments about Escort SOLO S3 Cordless Radar Detector:

              I had purchased a Solo S3 unit back in May. I have had this unit for 4 weeks now and I'm having a problem with it. In this area law enforcement uses K Band speed signs to slow traffic. I know that these units are using the K Band frequency because of another detector I was using. I'm currently running this unit in expert mode. When I approach the source within 1/8 of a mile it tells me that I now have two sources K Band and one source Ka Band. I believe that the units receiver's front end is getting over saturated and it cannot discriminate which signal is which. The same occurrence happened when I was in a store parking lot using the K Band door operators the Ka Band lit up with the K Band alert. It is going back...

                Comments about Escort SOLO S3 Cordless Radar Detector:

                We have wanted a cordless detector as a old plug in stopped working, it had to be replaced. Welcome solo,eliminates false signals with ease, picks up signals at considerable distance, portability among our cars with easy placement., battery life appears to be decent. It was used on a 350 mile trip out of the box, doing a fine job.
