Battery Installation
Remove the battery door, located on the bottom of the
detector, and install (2) AA batteries (supplied). Be
sure to note the correct polarity for each battery (see
legends inside battery compartment).
Optional 12-volt SmartCord
To power Solo S2 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 S2’s right side. Plug the
lighter plug adapter into your vehicle’s lighter socket
or accessory socket.
The optional SmartCord allows you to operate the
Solo S2 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 lighter
socket power may either be continuously on, or it may
be switched on and off with your ignition switch.
See the Accessories section for details on how to
order the optional 12-volt SmartCord.
Mounting Location
WARNING! ESCORT cannot anticipate the many ways
Solo S2 can be mounted. It is important that you
mount Solo S2 where it will not impair your view nor
present a hazard in case of an accident.
Where to mount Solo S2
For optimum detection performance, we recommend
the following:
• Using the supplied Windshield Mount, stick the
suction cups to the windshield, and mount your Solo
S2 level and high enough on your front windshield to
provide a clear view of the road ahead.
• Mount Solo S2 away from windshield wipers, other
solid objects, and heavily tinted areas that might
obstruct the radar antenna or laser lens.
Windshield Mount
Solo S2’s EasyMount windshield bracket is designed
for unobtrusive and hassle-free mounting.
1 Depress the adjustment button on the top of Solo
S2 (above the word “RELEASE”) and 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.
To ensure that the suction cups adhere to the
windshield firmly, be sure to keep both your wind-
shield and the suction cups clean.
2 To adjust Solo S2 on your windshield, use the
EasyMount adjustment button located on the top of
the Solo S2, and slide Solo S2 forward or backward to
obtain a level horizontal position.
When installed and adjusted properly, the back top
edge of the Solo S2 should rest solidly against your
windshield.
CAUTION!
A few vehicles (including some Porsches) have wind-
shields with a soft anti-lacerative coating on the inside
surface. Use of suction cups will permanently mar this
coating. Consult your dealership or the vehicle
owner’s manual to determine if your windshield has
this coating.
User’s Tip
You can leave the EasyMount bracket in place on your
windshield, and easily remove Solo S2 by pressing the
adjustment button and sliding Solo S2 off the mount.
Again, be sure to position the bracket where it won't
present a hazard in the event of an accident.
Additional mounts are available.
