It means its internal self-check/calibration check failed. Give Escort a call and arrange to send it in for repair, they'll make it as good as new.

The reason Im asking is I have a chance to buy one real cheap (like under 10.00) and its throwing this code. Im wondering if it would be worth it to buy it and send it in.
time to visit the doc at escort for repair/tune.
I think they charge $80 to repair a unit not under warranty. You can get refurbished 8500s with a warranty for $150, so if you can get it cheap and have it fixed, it's a pretty good deal, if you don't mind not having a warranty afterward.

Yup, $80 is right. Got my 8500 back, brand new looking, new cord, mount, and works great. We'll see how it performs on May 1st. =)
