Congratulations! You have just purchased the most innovative and comprehensive radar/laser accessory
available SmartCord Live.
Using Bluetooth® technology, SmartCord Live communicates with your iPhone® mobile digital device via
our exclusive app so you can access your detector settings and manage alerts with just a touch of the
screen. This combination of technologies also gives you access to the most powerful driver alert
network ESCORT Live! (Subscription may apply.)
With ESCORT Live, you and your fellow drivers will instantly communicate all radar/laser encounters
automatically, providing the most up-to-date and accurate protection on the road. Imagine millions of
other drivers helping you Drive Smarter!
You’ll still enjoy all the state-of-the-art performance you’ve come to expect from your detector, but
you’ll also have access to:
• Our exclusive real-time ticket protection network, which warns you of upcoming alerts
received by other users in the area.
• Our DEFENDER® Database, which warns you of verified speed traps, speed cameras, and red
light cameras.
• Our most popular GP -powered features, including speed-limit data for over-speed alerts, live
traffic data for your current location, and TrueLock™ to help eliminate false alerts. You can also
Mark Locations for future reference.
Note: ESCORT Live-enabled feat res are only available while r nning the iPhone application. For detailed
