Controls & Features
AutoPower
This feature automatically turns off PASSPORT Max2
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 Max2 to your preferred audio
+
–
level for alerts, simply press and hold VOLUME
or
.
The audio will increase/decrease while it is depressed.
Once you reach the desired audio level, simply
release the button. PASSPORT Max2 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 Max2 also includes ESCORT's
patented AutoMute feature. Once PASSPORT Max2
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 Max2 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 Max2 offers two unique user modes:
Advanced
In this mode, you can access and customize all of
PASSPORT Max2'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 Max2'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

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 Max2 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 Max2 will
simply display your battery voltage in this location.
Speed display ON: Current speed
Speed display OFF: Battery voltage
Radar Sensitivity
The SEN button allows you to select your preferred
radar sensitivity: Highway, Auto or Auto No X. In
general, ESCORT recommends Auto for everyday
driving.
Highway
In this setting, PASSPORT Max2 will detect all radar
signals on all bands at maximum range.
Auto
In this setting, PASSPORT Max2 will continuously
analyze all incoming signals and intelligently adjust
the sensitivity circuits, providing long-range warning
with minimal false alarms.
Auto No X
Auto No X works the same as Auto mode; however, X
band is completely turned off.
WARNING: Do not use PASSPORT Max2 in Auto No X
unless you are absolutely certain that there
are no traffic radar guns using X band in your area.
TrueLock/Locking Out False Alerts
PASSPORT Max2 is equipped with a TrueLock GPS
Filter to lock out and store in its memory false alerts.
To lock out a false alert (X band, K band or laser only),
press the MUTE button on the detector or the
SmartCord three times during an alert. Pressing the
first time will silence the audio. Pressing a second
time will generate a prompt on the display that will
read "Lockout?" Press a third time to confirm you
want to lock this signal out by location and frequency.
A "Stored" message will be displayed.
Once a signal has been stored, PASSPORT Max2 will
reject the signal the next time you approach this area
and will display the locked-out alert.
Locked-out alert
To unlock a signal that has already been stored,
simply press and hold the detector or SmartCord
MUTE button while receiving the locked out alert.
The display will read "Unlock?" Press the detector or
SmartCord MUTE button again to unlock it from
memory. The display will then read "Unlocked" to
confirm your action.
For details on how to turn the GPS Filter off, refer to
the Settings & Preferences section.
NOTE: When the GPS Filter is set to OFF, you do not have
access to PASSPORT Max2's other GPS-enabled features
(e.g., DEFENDER Database alerts, marking locations,
etc.).

AutoLearn
The AutoLearn feature analyzes (over time) the source
of radar signals by location and frequency. This
allows PASSPORT Max2 to determine if a signal is a
real threat or a false one. If it determines that the
signal is an automatic door opener, motion sensor,
etc., it automatically locks out this source at this
particular location. A "Stored" message will appear on
the display when a signal has been automatically
locked out. If you prefer, you can turn the AutoLearn
feature off. See the Settings & Preferences section
for details.
NOTE: AutoLearn typically needs to encounter the exact
frequency in the same location approximately three
times to lock it out. Since some door openers are turned
on and off routinely, some variations may occur. When
AutoLearn is on, PASSPORT Max2 will also unlearn
signals to protect you from locking out real threats. If a
particular signal is no longer present at a location that
was previously locked out, PASSPORT Max2 will unlock
that signal.
Marking Locations
The MRK button allows you to mark a specific location
and label it for future reference. Once marked,
PASSPORT Max2 will provide an alert when you reach
this area again.
