Quick Reference Guide Power/Volume Control Rotate the thumbwheel to turn Passport on and set the volume. (We recommend wiring the SR7 to a switched circuit so that it will turn on/off with your vehicles ignition). City Button Switches sensitivity modes between Highway, AutoSensitivity, and City settings. In general, we recommend the AutoSensitivity mode. Page 6.
Controls and Features Highway / Auto / City Switch Dark Mode The “City” button selects Passport's sensitivity. We recommend the “Auto” (AutoSensitivity) mode for most driving. Passport’s exclusive AutoSensitivity mode provides long-range warning, with minimum false alarms. In this mode, Passport’s internal computer continuously analyzes all incoming signals and intelligently adjusts the sensitivity – eliminating the majority of false alarms. You can also select conventional “Highway” and “City” modes.
Controls and Features KA| X||| How to customize Passport with EZ-Programming X 10.525 Here ExpertMeter shows 1 weak Kaband signal, and 3 weak X-band signals. Display shows an X-band signal at 10.525 GHz X Note: Even long-time detector users will require a significant amount of time to get familiar with this new level of information. On very weak signals, there will not be a vertical line at all. This shows a very weak X-band signal.

It then confirms communications to the front radar receiver, and front and rear laser receivers.
Interpreting Alerts Although Passport has a comprehensive warning system and this handbook is as complete as we can make it, only experience will teach you what to expect from your Passport and how to interpret what it “tells” you. The radar alerts you receive are affected by the specific type of radar being used, the type of transmission (continuous or instant-on) and the location of the radar source.
How Radar Works How Radar Works Radar range also depends on the power of the radar equipment itself. The strength of the radar unit's beam diminishes with distance. The farther the radar has to travel, the less energy it has for speed detection. Because intrusion alarms and motion sensors often operate on the same frequency as X-Band radar, your Passport will occasionally receive non-police radar signals.
How Safety Radar Works How Safety Warning Systems Works Note: Some of the safety messages have been condensed, so each message can be displayed on one or two screens on Passport’s eight character display.
Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Problem Solution Explanation of Displays Passport beeps briefly at the same location every day, but no radar source is in sight. • An X-band motion sensor or intrusion alarm is located within range of your route. With time, you will learn predictable patterns of these signals. LsrF ERR Passport does not seem sensitive to radar or laser. • Passport may be in City Mode. • Radar band(s) are turned off in programming. There is a problem with the front Laser Receiver.
