Power and volume control
To turn Passport on and adjust the alert
tone volume level, rotate the thumbwheel
on Passport's left side. Turn the control
away from you to increase the audio vol-
ume. When you turn Passport on, it goes
through a sequence of alerts.
If you prefer, you may program your
Passport for a shorter power-on sequence.
See the EZ Programming section for details.
Power-on indication
After Passport's start-up sequence is com-
plete, the matrix display will show “High-
way”, “City”, or “Auto” to show which
operation mode is selected.
If you prefer, you can select alternate
power-on displays. See the EZ Program-
ming section for details.
AutoMute
Your Passport has our patented AutoMute
feature. After Passport alerts you to a radar
encounter at the full volume, it automati-
cally mutes the volume to a lower level.
This keeps you informed without the an-
noyance of a continuous full-volume alert.
If you prefer, you can turn the
AutoMute feature off. See the EZ Program-
ming section for details.
Controls and Features
Mute
The Mute button, located on Passport’s
front panel, allows you to totally silence
the audio alert during a radar encounter.
To mute the audio for a single specific
signal, briefly press the Mute Button. After
that radar encounter has passed, the mute
will automatically reset and the audio
will
alert you to the next encounter.
Auto / Highway / City Switch
The City button selects Passport’s sensitiv-
ity mode. We recommend the “Auto”
(AutoSensitivity) mode for most driving.
Passport’s new AutoSensitivity mode
provides long-range warning, with mini-
mum false alarms. In this mode, Passport’s
internal computer continuously analyzes
all incoming signals and intelligently ad-
justs the sensitivity circuits.
You can also select conventional “High-
way” and “City” modes. When driving in
urban areas where annoying X-band intru-
sion alarms and door openers are common,
City Mode can be engaged to lower X-band
sensitivity and reduce X-band alerts. Full
sensitivity is maintained on all other bands.
You can customize Passport’s City mode
sensitivity. See the EZ Programming sec-
tion for details.
