slide the EasyMount bracket into the slot
until mount is locked into the position which
best fits the angle of your windshield (there
are four settings available). For extremely
horizontal or extremely sloped windshields,
the EasyMount bracket can be bent.
SOLO S4 Mounting Location
WARNING: ESCORT cannot anticipate the
many ways SOLO S4 can be mounted. It is
important that you mount SOLO S4 where it
will not impair your view nor present a
hazard in case of an accident.
For optimum detection performance, we
recommend the following:
•Using the supplied Windshield Mount, stick
the suction cups to the windshield, and
mount your SOLO S4 level and high enough

view of the road ahead.

directly behind windshield wipers
or tinted areas.

the EasyMount adjustment button located
on the top of the SOLO S4, and slide SOLO S4
forward or backward to obtain a level
horizontal position.
When installed and adjusted properly, the

the event of an accident. Additional mounts

Optional 12-volt SmartCord
To power SOLO S4 using 12-volts, simply
remove the power connector plug, and
insert the small end of the optional
SmartCord, (telephone-type connector) into
the modular jack on SOLO S4’s right side.
Plug the lighter plug adapter into your
vehicle’s lighter socket or accessory socket.
The SmartCord allows you to operate the
SOLO S4 on 12 volts DC negative ground only.
The lighter plug is a standard size and will
work in most vehicles. Of course,
your lighter socket must be clean
and properly connected for proper
operation.
NOTE: Depending on your vehicle the power
socket may either be continuously on, or it may
be switched on and off with your ignition switch.
Power-On Indication
Three LED's (green, yellow, red) mounted
between the PWR button and the display,
indicate power (blinking in battery mode,
solid when optional 12-volt power cord is
used). These also indicate the sensitivity
mode that the unit is in,( "H" for highway, "A"
for AutoSensitivity, and "C" for city).

This maximizes battery life. When using the
optional 12-volt SmartCord, the display will
remain on and provide several pilot options for
power-on indication.

SOLO S4 is ready to go, just plug it in and
turn it on. If you prefer, you can also easily
customize up to 9 features for your specific
driving preferences.

reduces the volume level of the audio alert
after a brief period.
If you prefer, you can turn AutoMute off.
