Quick Reference Guide Controls and Features Power/Volume Control Rotate the thumbwheel to turn Passport on and set the volume. (We recommend wiring the SRX to a switched circuit so that it will turn on/off with your ignition). City Button Switches sensitivity modes between Highway, AutoSensitivity, and City settings. In general, we recommend the Auto mode. Page 6. Power and volume control Button, allows you to totally silence the audio alert during a radar encounter.
Controls and Features Highway / Auto / City Switch Dark Mode The “City” button selects Passport’s sensitivity mode. 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.

Display shows a 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.

Details of EZ-Programming Options Power-on Sequence few seconds, Passport will automatically reduce the volume level, to keep you informed, but not annoyed. (factory default) PwrOnSTD (Standard) In this setting, each time you turn on Passport, it will display “Passport,” “SRX,” “LASER,” “Ka-band,” “K-band,” “X-band,” followed by a brief X-band alert. It then confirms communications to the front radar receiver, and front and rear Laser Shifters.
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 and Laser Work 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.
