Solution
• An X-band motion sensor or intrusion alarm is located
within range of your route. Use the TrueLock feature to
filter this signal out.
• Make sure that windshield wipers do not block
PASSPORT’s radar antenna and that the laser lens is not
behind tinted areas.
• Determine if your vehicle has an Instaclear
®
,
ElectriClear
®
or solar reflective windshield which may
deflect radar or laser signals.
• PASSPORT may be in City Mode.
• VASCAR (Visual Average Speed Computer and Recorder),
a stopwatch method of speed detection, may be in use.
• Officer may not have radar or laser unit turned on.
• Press the BRT button to deactivate Dark Mode.

provide stability. While holding down PASSPORT’s
EasyMount button, slide PASSPORT further back toward the

cause PASSORT to be briefly disconnected.
