Features:

• Unbelievable Radar Detection Range
  The Passport 8500 radar and laser detector 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 radar, and complete immunity to the VG-2 detector-detector.
• 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.
  
• Shift+Link Compatible with the Laser Shifter ZR3
  For the ultimate in radar and laser protection, the Passport 8500 can be now be linked with the all-new, custom-installed Laser Shifter ZR3 laser defense system.
  
• 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 radar and laser detector features our exclusive "ExpertMeter" display, identifying band and relative signal strength on up to radar 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 radar and laser detector 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.)
  
• Comes Fully Equipped
  Your Passport 8500 arrives with a comprehensive owner's manual, quick-release windshield mount, built-in earphone jack, a coiled SmartCord, quick reference card, and an Escort travel case.
