Controls & Features
AutoPower
This feature automatically turns off PASSPORT Max
after a set period of time to save unnecessary drain
on your battery. This is especially useful if your
vehicle has a constant-power ignition. See the
Settings & Preferences section for details on how to
customize the AutoPower feature.
NOTE: When AutoPower is ON, the display will go dark
after the vehicle has been sitting still for 30 minutes, to
save screen life. The screen will turn back on
automatically once your vehicle reaches a speed of 10
mph.
Volume
To adjust PASSPORT Max to your preferred audio level
for alerts, simply press and hold VOLUME
The audio will increase/decrease while it is depressed.
Once you reach the desired audio level, simply
release the button. PASSPORT Max will retain this
setting in its memory, even if the system is turned off.
Mute
The MUTE button allows you to silence the audio
during an alert. Simply press the button during the
alert. Once the radar encounter has passed, the mute
will disengage, and the audio will return to your
pre-set level. You can also silence an alert by pressing
the SmartCord MUTE button.
AutoMute
Your PASSPORT Max also includes ESCORT's patented
AutoMute feature. Once PASSPORT Max alerts you to
a radar encounter at your selected volume level, it
automatically reduces the volume more than 50%.
This keeps you informed without the annoyance of a
continuous full-volume alert. If you prefer, you can
turn the AutoMute feature off. See the Settings &
Preferences section for details.
SmartMute
If AutoMute has already reduced the volume for one
alert and a higher-priority band is detected,
PASSPORT Max will sound an alert at your set volume
for the second band before adjusting the volume
back down to the AutoMute level.
User Mode
PASSPORT Max offers two unique user modes:
Advanced
In this mode, you can access and customize all of
PASSPORT Max's settings and preferences.
Novice
In this mode, you can access and customize units
(English or metric) and display color only. All other
preferences are set to the factory defaults. To view all
preferences, you must switch back to Advanced
mode.
Display Color
Your detector screen can be displayed with blue,
green, red or amber accents to match the dashboard
lighting of various vehicles. See the Settings &
Preferences section for details on how to change the
display color.

Display Brightness
PASSPORT Max's display brightness is automatically
adjusted to suit ambient lighting conditions in your
car. (The light sensor is located inside the controller,
so the display may dim momentarily when you access
the buttons.) If you prefer, you can press the BRT
button to set a fixed brightness level:
Auto
Dark
Minimum
Medium
Maximum
NOTE: If you select Dark mode, the display will not
provide any indication that it is on. Therefore, only
audible alerts will notify you of detected signals.
Speed Display
PASSPORT Max displays your current speed just to the
right of the Over-Speed Alert setting (or posted
speed limit for your current location, if connect to
ESCORT Live). If you prefer, you can turn off the speed
display feature (see Settings & Preferences section for
details). If speed display is OFF, PASSPORT Max will
simply display your battery voltage in this location.
