Click to enlarge. |  High-resolution graphic LCD display. |  Included SmartPlug lets you mute/adjust volume easily. | Protection Without Cables
The SOLO S2's convenient cordless design uses 2 AA batteries (included) to power the device. High-efficiency power management maximizes battery life. All-Band Protection
The SOLO S2 includes full X, K, SuperWide Ka, and Safety Warning System radar capability; front and rear laser detection; digital signal processing (DSP) for superior range and reduced false alarms; Escort's patented Mute and AutoMute; audible and visual band alerts; and all the performance you'd expect from Escort. In addition, the SOLO S2's advanced EZ-Programming lets you customize up to 10 features: Power-On Indication, AutoPower, Power-On Sequence, Signal Strength Meter, AutoMute, Audio Tones, City Mode, Brightness Control, Dark Mode, and Bands. AutoSensitivity Mode
Passport's AutoSensitivity mode provides long-range warning, with minimum false alarms. In this mode, Passport's internal computer continuously analyzes all incoming signals and intelligently adjusts the sensitivity circuits. You can also select conventional Highway and City modes. When driving in urban areas where annoying X-band intrusion alarms and door openers are common, City mode can be engaged to lower X-band sensitivity and reduce X-band alerts. One-Year Limited Warranty
Get extra peace of mind with Escort's one-year limited warranty. The company also offers a two-year extended service plan. Brilliant Display
The SOLO S2's high-resolution graphic LCD display is simple to read and provides four levels of brightness, including automatic, minimum, medium, maximum, and full dark mode. What's in the Box

 Beautiful May 25, 2006

Stage: I live in a city of approximately 100K and drive roughly 5 miles to work daily through commercially-populated areas. The daily on-time of my S2 is approximately 45 minutes. I take 1-3 200+ mile round-trip interstate trips once per month. The detector is on continuously at all times while driving. Have owned the S2 for > two years. Before that, owned an 8500 for two years. Before that, used Bells and Cobras.
Battery Life: 2 AAs last me approximately two months. That's 12 AAs per year, or in bulk, approximately $12/yr or $1/mo. Having used a corded 8500 for a couple of years (which I loved) and having power supply failures due to cord fatigue, not having to deal with a cord is worth it, BAR NONE.
Sensitivity: This device is, in my opinion, just as good as the corded Passport models. Scientific tests will refute that, but real-world usage will not. I was worried by an article that said "battery-operated detectors 'sleep' between cycles so are therefore less effective" but in real-world conditions, I do not think this is an issue: the 'sleep' time, if any, is a non-issue.
Controls: I have large hands and fingers. Even so, this device is crisp to use. Navigation of settings, should you decide to change the out-of-box defaults, is simple and straight-forward.
Overall: Nothing compares. No cords. Battery life to cost ratio for such is a non-issue. Real-world sensitivity beyond actual need. No questions asked, the best deal out there for a radar detector, period.

Basically the Escort S2 is the best cordless detector you can buy. I've owned the Escort S2 for a few weeks now and I must say I am quiet impressed. The unit gives LONG range warning so that it does what its designed to do, eliminate speeding tickets. The unit has tons of features overall and I am happy to say its well worth the money, you will not be sorry you purchased this product.

I have owned 2 escort solo S2's one for my Z06 and one for my truck. they have saved me at least 100 tickets. I do go through some batteries but the convience and ease of use more than makes up for that. I will never use a corded model. I have not gotten 1 ticket since I started using it. I average 80 to 90 mph and drive 30,000 miles a year. I have gotten signals from over a mile away plenty of time to slow down.

Reviews I read varied from great to terrible. My experience has been only good to great. Batteries keep on going and going. Side by side comparison with my corded Valentine echoed the test data I saw that showed only about 10% less alert distance - still much better than most.
My objective was use on my motorcycle; wireless to avoid clumsy electrical taps; compact, easy to remove and secure at stops. I can hear it through my helmet at highway speeds. It works well and fits perfectly in my locking accessory compartment. Better than expected.
Improvements? Sure, a bit louder alarm [not a problem in a car]; can't see the display from the mount on my motorcycle [don't really care]; waterproof case [no one offers one and I can always stow it, if it rains]. Be sure to read the instructions completely before use, and adjust the settings as needed.
Works as advertised! July 1, 2006

A friend said this is the right radar detector, and he was right. Drove from Chicago to Montana and back and was always informed of active radar sources along the way. Was surprised when it picked up roadside speed warning sign, but that should have been expected. Batteries still going after six full days of driving over 10 hours a day.
