AutoMute
aMute ON (AutoMute on)
In this setting, Passport’s audio alerts will
initially be at the volume you set, but after a
few seconds, Passport will automatically
reduce the volume level, to keep you
informed, but not annoyed. (factory default)
aMuteOFF (AutoMute off)
With AutoMute off, Passport’s audio alerts
will remain at the volume you set for
the duration of the radar encounter.
Audio Tones
Tone STD (Standard tones)
This setting uses more pleasing tones.
(factory default)
ToneLOUD (Loud tones)
This setting uses tones that are more
piercing. This setting is recommended for
louder vehicles.
City Mode Sensitivity
City STD (Standard)
In this setting, when you put Passport in the
City mode, X-band sensitivity is significantly
reduced, to reduce annoyance from X-band
intrusion alarms and motion sensors.
(factory default)
City LoX (Low X band sensitivity)
In this setting, when you put Passport in the
City mode, X-band sensitivity is reduced
more than the standard setting. This will
reduce X band alarms from other sources
even further, but also significantly reduces
range to X band traffic radar.
City NoX (No X band sensitivity)
In this setting, when you put Passport in the
City mode, Passport will not respond to any
X band signals. WARNING: Only choose
this setting if you are absolutely certain
that there are no X band traffic radar
units where you drive.
Note: These settings only apply when
Passport is operated in City mode. X-band
sensitivity is not affected when used in
“Auto,” or “Highway” modes.
