Escort SR7 Radar Detector User Manual


 
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).
Matrix Display
Passport’s display will show “Highway,”
“Auto,” or “City” as its standard power-on
indication. Page 5. If you prefer, you can
choose other power-on indications. Pages
9-13.
During an alert, the display will indicate
the radar band, and a precise bar graph for
the signal strength. Page 7.
You can program Passport for
ExpertMeter, which displays up to 8 radar
signals at once, or choose SpecDisplay
mode, which provides the actual numeric
radar frequency. Pages 7-8.
The display can also show Safety Radar
text messages. Pages 18-19.
AutoMute
Passport’s patented AutoMute automatically
reduces the volume level of the audio alert.
Page 5. If you prefer, you can turn
AutoMute off. Page 9.
City Button
Switches sensitivity modes between
Highway, AutoSensitivity, and City settings.
In general, we recommend the
AutoSensitivity mode. Page 6.
EZ-Programming
Passport is ready to go – just turn it on. But
you can easily change 9 features for your
preferences. Press both buttons to enter the
Program Mode, then easily Review or
Change your settings. Pages 9-13.
Mute Button
Briefly press this button on the display
controller, or the standard remote mute
button, to silence the audio for a specific
alert. (The audio will alert you to the next
encounter.) Page 5.

Power and volume control
To turn Passport on and adjust the alert
tone volume level, rotate the thumbwheel
on Passport’s Display/Controller. Turn the
control to the left to increase the audio
volume. When you turn Passport on, it goes
through a sequence of alerts.
If you prefer, you may program your
Passport for a shorter power-on sequence.
See the EZ-Programming section for details.
Power-on indication
After Passport’s start-up sequence is
complete, the matrix display will show
“Highway,” “City,” or “Auto” to show
which sensitivity mode is selected.
If you prefer, you can select alternate
power-on displays. See the EZ-Programming
section for details.
AutoMute
Your Passport has our patented AutoMute
feature. After Passport alerts you to a radar
encounter at your selected volume level, it
automatically mutes the volume to a lower
level. This keeps you informed without the
annoyance of a continuous full-volume alert.
If you prefer, you can turn the AutoMute
feature off. See the EZ-Programming section
for details.
Mute
The Mute Button, located on Passport’s
front panel, or the installed Remote Mute
Button, allows you to totally silence the
audio alert during a radar encounter.
To mute the audio for a single specific
signal, briefly press the Mute Button or the
installed Remote Mute Button. After that
radar encounter has passed, the mute will
automatically reset and the audio will alert
you to the next encounter.
Remote Mute/Volume Adjust
The Remote Mute Button, (standard with
the SR7) can also be used to change the
volume level without accessing the Display
Controller. To change the volume level with
the Remote Mute Button, simply press and
hold. An audible
tone will be
generated, and
the display will
provide a bar
graph for the
volume level. Once
the desired volume level is reached,
simply release the Remote Mute
Button. This volume setting will be
stored in memory.
When the optional Laser Shifter
ZR3 is installed, (see EZ-Programming
section) the Remote Mute button can be
used to manually stop “shifting” once you
have corrected your speed. Simply press the
Remote Mute Button twice during the
“Laser Shifting” message, and the Shifter’s
will cease to transmit. The Shifter’s will
automatically reset within one minute. A
reset message will be displayed to verify and
acknowledge the reset.
