Unbelievable Range
The Passport 8500 utilizes a totally new design, including a new waveguide antenna, state-of-the-art microwave receiver, and our latest proprietary software. The result is a remarkable increase in sensitivity, including a blistering 200% improvement on the elusive Superwide Ka-band, and complete immunity to VG2.
One Step Ahead
Speed measuring devices continue to improve through the use of new technology. Passport 8500's innovative design allows the on-board microprocessor to be reprogrammed to detect new radar and laser units. While other manufacturers' models become obsolete, the Passport 8500's software can be updated to protect you against the latest threats.
Less "Noise"
Improving sensitivity typically means an increase in annoying false alarms. Passport 8500's advanced signal rejection circuitry, and exclusive "Auto" mode, separates real threats from the "noise." The result is advanced warning without the constant chatter.
Detail Oriented
The Passport 8500 features our exclusive
"ExpertMeter" display, identifying band and relative signal strength on up to 8 signals simultaneously. Or choose our new
"SpecDisplay" and Passport will show you the actual frequency of the radar signal.
Adapts To The Way You Drive
The Passport 8500 comes preset and ready to use with our factory recommended settings. If you prefer, select Passport 8500's unique
EZ-Programming feature and customize it for your own driving style. Programmable options include selection of individual bands (on/off), three meter display options, Mute and
AutoMute, two levels of audio tones, and much more.
Simply hold both buttons to enter the Program Mode, and quickly review or change your settings. (Your preferred settings are maintained in memory, even when the Passport 8500 is turned off or unplugged.)
Safety Warning System
Full text display of all Safety Warning System
(SWS) signals. Over 60 specific safety text messages warn of hazards in areas using safety radar.
Smart Cord Included
This unique and innovative power cord has a built-in alert lamp, pilot light and convenient mute button. Now everything you need is located at your fingertips.
