PASSPORT Max gives an advanced warning of
upcoming markers at the following distances:
• Red light cameras: 250 ft or 10 seconds
• Red light & speed cameras: 250 ft or 10 seconds

To mark a location, press the MRK button. The display
will read “Mark?” Press MRK again to bring up a menu
of markers to choose from. Press VOLUME
+ or – to
scroll through the markers, then press MRK to select
the marker you wish to use at this location. The
display will read “Marked!”
NOTE: When a location is marked the first time, you must
travel at least 1 mile away from that location to receive
an alert when you return to the area.
To unmark a location, touch the MRK button when
you are receiving a marked-location alert. The display
will read “Unmark?” Touch the MRK button again to
confirm. The display will read “Unmarked!” To
customize the types of markers you want to be able
to set and receive, see the Settings & Preferences
section.
Over-Speed Alert
With PASSPORT Max, you can set the Over-Speed
Alert to notify you when you are traveling over a
specified speed (factory default is 70 mph; see
Settings & Preferences for details). When you travel
above the speed threshold you have set, the
background display for your current speed will turn
red to alert you that you have exceeded the specified
speed.
Alert Tones
Standard
PASSPORT Max’s factory default for alert tones is the
ESCORT Standard mode, in which PASSPORT Max
uses a Geiger counter-type sound to indicate the
signal strength and type of radar signal being
encountered. When you encounter radar, a distinct
audible alert will sound and will increase as the
signal gets stronger. This allows you to judge the
distance from the signal source without taking your
eyes off of the road. Each band has a distinct tone for
easy identification:
X band
= beep tone
K band = brap tone
Ka band = double-brap tone
Laser = solid brap tone
Pop = solid brap tone
Mild
If you prefer, you can change your alert tone settings
to Mild mode, which offers softer, simpler alert tones
that are less obtrusive to the driving experience:
X band, K band,
Ka band and Pop = Doorbell chime
Low signal strength
= Double chime
High signal strength = Triple chime
If alert remains in area
more than 15 seconds
= Single chime (as a reminder)
Laser
= Solid brap tone (Since laser
signals are a possible threat no matter how weak,
PASSPORT Max alerts you to all laser signals with a full
laser alert.)
See the Settings & Preferences section for details on
switching your alert tones.
Cruise Alert
The Cruise Alert feature allows you to modify your
alert tones when traveling below a specified speed
(factory default is 20 mph; see Settings & Preferences
for details). For all alerts received while traveling
below the specified speed, PASSPORT Max will sound
a simple double-beep alert.
