Nope. Your startup sequence is normal. The startup you are referring to is for the 9500i, not the ix.

X2, they got rid of the unnecessary audible and visual self start up test. It still self tests but it will only tell you if something's wrong.

Freaking awesome, this is the exact question that I needed the answer to and the exact reason that I joined this forum. I got one last night, fired it up and was like....hey wait every other Escort that I had prior did a self test running through the blurps. Then I thought is this one faulty? A quick join, search and booya here is my answer

Someone give this newbie a "Gold Star" for the amazingly rare ability to use the freakin' search button! You, my friend, are indeed awesome!

I don't have any experience with the 9500i/ix but in the 8500 series you can select "normal" or "fast" startup sequence in the programming menu. Normal being the series of bleeps and bloops, and fast just being one quick "beep" and then it's ready to go.

I did the exact same thing when I unboxed and fired up my ix for the first time.

Interesting - I could not find it in the start up menu, I will do a search for that one as well.

The 9500ix does not have this menu option. Other Bel and Escort RDs manufactured previous to the 9500ix have the option for normal and quick startup sequences.
