Features

High Definition (HD) Radar Performance: The Escort Passport Max radar/laser detector delivers extreme long-range warning on all radar bands including X, K, Ka, and instant-on Ka-POP modes. Multiple front and rear laser sensors provide 360 degree laser protection, including a wide field of view. Military-grade components and digital signal processing accurately identifies real threats sooner to provide a more advanced warning, even against instant and "pop" radar. The Passport Max comes with the StickyCup windshield mount, Combo SmartCord, and a padded soft-side zippered travel case.

GPS Technology: The Passport Max has an embedded SiRFstar III GPS receiver, and uses GPS technology to identify and eliminate false alarms. The GPS-powered TrueLock Filter lets you lock out false alerts by "marking" the location so the detector can reject the signal the next time you approach the area. The unit is also pre-loaded with the Defender database of thousands of safety camera locations, including red light and fixed photo radar sites, and will warn you when you are approaching these sites. The mini-USB port allows you to update your safety camera data and other software through the Escort website.

OLED Display: The Passport Max features a new multi-color graphic display with intuitive icons that identify the type of threat at a glance. You can set the display to blue, green, red, or amber to match your vehicle's interior gauges, or to suit your personal preference.

ESCORT Live!: Passport Max is compatible with ESCORT Live!, an exclusive network which warns you of upcoming alerts received and reported by other users in the area. ESCORT Live! works with your smartphone through the ESCORT Live! app to connect you to other detector owners on the road in your area. It also gives you access to local speed limit data for over-speed alerts. Requirements include downloading the app to your smartphone, purchase of the optional ESCORT Live! SmartCord Live for iPhone or Android, and a subscription to the service.

AutoLearn: GPS technology is also used to "learn" the source of radar signals by location and frequency, and determine if the signal is a real threat or a false one. If the alert comes from an automatic door opener or motion sensor, the Passport Max automatically locks out this source at this particular location. The unit can also "unlearn" signals that are no longer present at a particular location to protect you from locking out real threats.

Mark Location (MRK): The Passport Max has an "MRK" button that allows you to mark a specific location and label it for future reference. Once the location is marked and labeled, the unit will provide an alert for red light or speed cameras, speed traps, or other danger zones.

Over-speed Alert: You can set a speed at which the Passport Max will alert you when it is exceeded. Using GPS technology to gauge your speed, the detector monitors your speed to help you stay under the set speed limit. When the unit is connected to ESCORT Live!, the speed limit data will also be shown on the display.

Traffic Sensor Rejection: The Passport Max utilizes Traffic Sensor Rejection to eliminate false alerts due to location or certain frequencies. Radar-based traffic flow sensors, mounted along major highways, transmit strong K-band signals for a half-second approximately every minute. These signals help produce traffic flow data for personal navigation devices, but also create numerous false radar alerts. Escort's proprietary Traffic Sensor Rejection (TSR) software, found in the Passport Max, helps eliminate annoying false alerts.

Enhanced Radar Detection: The Passport Max features enhanced "V-Tuned" radar receiver provides long-range warning on all radar types. Digital signal processing provides maximum range and minimizes false alarms. The unit offers three radar sensitivity settings:

• Auto: In Auto mode the unit provides real-time radar performance base on your vehicle's speed. As your vehicle speed increases, the radar sensitivity (X and K-band) is set to maximum range. As your vehicle speed decreases, the radar sensitivity (X and K-band only) is minimized to further reduce unwanted false alarms. Full sensitivity is maintained on all other bands.
• Highway: Highway mode provides maximum sensitivity on all bands.
• City: City modes reduces X-band sensitivity and full sensitivity is maintained on all other bands.

ZR4 Laser Shifter Compatible: The Passport Max is compatible with the optional Escort ZR4 Laser Shifter (sold separately). The ZR4 provides the most advanced defense system against targeting laser guns, and can be linked to the unit for ultimate protection.

Variable-Speed Sensitivity: The Passport Max has an Auto Sensitivity mode varies radar sensitivity base on your vehicle's speed resulting in better radar performance. At highway speeds, you need the best long-range sensitivity. At slower speeds, the sensitivity is adjusted to reduce unneeded alerts, especially when you're not at risk. In addition to the Auto mode, you can set the sensitivity to Auto No X and Highway.

Voice and Beep Alerts: When enabled, all alerts and instructions are communicated using a voice announcement. If you desire, the voice alerts can be turned off, and all alerts will sound using tones.

Auto Mute: After the initial audible alert, the volume is automatically reduced, so you need not manually mute the sound. This feature can be defeated.

Mute Button: Once an alarm sounds, it can be silenced using the mute button.

USB: The Passport Max has a Mini-B 2.0 USB port on the side to allow you to connect the unit to your computer via USB cable (not included). A Windows version (XP, Vista, 7, and 8) of Detector Tools supports Firmware, Location Database updates, Detector Software, and Defender Updates. No version for Mac is available at this time.

Earphone Jack: There is a standard 3.5mm earphone jack on the right side of the unit.

Combo SmartCord: The supplied Combo SmartCord includes approximately 22" of straight cord and about 7" of coiled cord, which expands to up to 2.5' when stretched. The cigarette lighter adapter end includes a mute button and two LEDs (Alert and Power).

AutoPower: The AutoPower feature automatically turns off the unit after a specific amount of time to reduce the current drain on the vehicle's battery. If AutoPower is off, the unit turns on or off depending on your vehicle's ignition type (constant or switched power). For constantly-powered accessory ports, you can set AutoPower to turn off the unit after 1, 2, 4, or 8 hours.

StickyCup Windshield Mount: The Passport Max radar detector comes with the new StickyCup windshield bracket that is designed to mount the unit on the center of the windshield between the driver and passenger. The StickyCup is a large 2-1/2" diameter suction cup with a thumbwheel for angle adjustment and a locking clamp, to give you a secure installation. A dual-adhesive hook-and-loop pad is also included if you wish to mount the unit on the dash.
