Controls and Features
Power Connector
Passport's new power jack uses a
telephone- type connector. This new 4-
conductor 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.
For more information or to order, call
us toll-free at 1-800-433-3487.
Signal Strength Meter
Passport's alphanumeric display consists of
280 individual LEDs, to provide an intuitive
ultra-bright display of signal strength and
text messages.
Passport's standard bar-graph signal
strength meter only displays information on
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.
When Passport detects radar, it displays
the band (X, K, or Ka), and a precise bar
graph of the signal strength. When Passport
detects a laser signal, the display 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,
and the flashing alert lamp on the
SmartCord.
ExpertMeter
Passport's ExpertMeter option is an
advanced display for experienced detector
users. Please use Passport 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 Passport's EZ-
Programming (see page 10-12).
Passport's ExpertMeter simultaneously
tracks up to 8 radar signals. It shows you
detailed information on up to 2 Ka-band, 2
K-band, and 4 X-band signals.
ExpertMeter can help you spot a
change in your normal driving environment;
for example, a traffic radar unit being oper-
ated in an area where there are normally
other signals present.
