Power Connector
Passport’s new power jack uses a tele-
phone-type connector. This new 4-con-
ductor connector works with the included
coiled cord, and with our optional new
SmartCord MuteDisplay.
The SmartCord is a special power cord
that has a power-on indicator, a bright alert
light that warns of radar or laser, and a
convenient mute button right on the plug.
It’s the perfect addition for any car
where reaching the detector mute button
on the windshield is a stretch. And for
discreet night driving, put Passport in the
Dark Mode, and use the SmartCord for your
visual alerts. Other drivers won’t know you
have a detector.
Two versions are available: A
SmartCord that plugs into your lighter
socket and has a coiled cord, and a Direct-
wire SmartCord module that you wire into
your electrical system, with an 8 foot straight
cord to route to your Passport.

Signal Strength Meter
Passport’s new matrix display consists of
280 individual LED’s, to provide an intui-
tive ultra-bright display of signal strength
and text messages.
When Passport detects radar, it dis-
plays the band of the radar (X, K, or Ka),
and a precise bar graph of signal strength.
When Passport detects laser, the dis-
play will show “LASER.”
NOTE: If you are operating Passport in
the Dark Mode, the display will not light
when a signal is detected- only the audio
will alert you.
ExpertMeter
Passport 7500’s new ExpertMeter op-
tion is an advanced display for experi-
enced detector users.
Please use Pass-
port for a few weeks to get familiar with its
other features before using ExpertMeter.
To use the ExpertMeter instead of
the bar graph signal strength meter,
you must select ExpertMeter in Pass-
port’s EZ Programming
(see pg 10-12).
Passport’s standard signal strength
meter only displays information about a
single radar signal. If there are multiple
signals present, Passport’s internal computer
determines which is the most important
threat to show on the bar graph meter.
