Passport 8500Quick Reference Card Remove card along perforations   Remove card along perforations  There are 9 user-selectable options so you can customize your Passport 8500 for your own preferences. The buttons labeled CITY and DIM are also used to enter the Program Mode, REVIEW your current program settings, and to CHANGE any settings as desired. The words PROGRAM, REVIEW, and CHANGE are located on the top of the detector, and are highlighted in blue graphics. How to use EZ-Programming 1To enter Program Mode, press and hold both top buttons down for 2 seconds.(The unit will beep twice, and will display the word “Program”). 2Then press the REVIEW button to review the current settings. (You can either tap the button to change from item to item, or hold the button to scroll through the items). 3Press the CHANGE button to change any setting.(You can either tap the button to change from setting to setting, or hold the button to scroll through all the options). 4To leave Program Mode, simply wait 8 seconds without pressing any button. (The unit will display Complete, beep 4 times, and return to normal operation). An example For example, here is how you would turn Passport’s AutoMute feature off. 1Enter the Program Mode by holding both the city and dim buttons down for 2 seconds. Passport will beep twice and display Program. 2Then hold the REVIEW button down. Passport will scroll through the categories, starting with Pilot Light (Pilot), then Power-on sequence (PwrOn), then Signal strength meter (Meter), and then AutoMute (aMute). 3Release the REVIEW button when Passport shows the AutoMute item. Since the factory setting is for AutoMute to be on, Passport will display aMute ON. (If you accidentally don't release the Review button in time, and Passport goes to the next category, hold the Review button down again, and after Passport scrolls through all categories, it will begin again at the top of the list.) 4Press the CHANGE button to change from aMute ONto aMute OFF. 5To complete the Programming, simply wait 8 seconds without pressing any button. Passport will display Complete, beep 4 times, and return to normal operation. 2 Quick Reference Card Passport 8500Quick Reference Card *Factory Default Settings

REPORT:C0610-7 FCC ID:QKL8500 Page 3 of 8 Statement of Conformity 47 CFR 15.109(h) states that “Radar detectors shall comply with the emissions limits...of [section 15.109(a)] over the frequency range of 11.7 – 12.2GHz.” The applicable limit being 500μV/m measured at a distance of 3m. The Escort Passport 8500 has been tested and found to comply with this requirement. REPORT:C0610-7 FCC ID:QKL8500 Page 4 of 8 Test Methodology Radiated emission testing was performed according to the procedures in ANSI C63.4 (2001). The testing was performed at an antenna to EUT distance of 1 meter. Performance was investigated in the range 11.7-12.2GHz. The Passport 8500 was powered by a R.O.C. SPN4025A 12VDC 400mA power supply. Since the device is a hand-held unit, the emissions were maximized around the three orthogonal axes and the maximum reading was recorded. The integrated antenna cannot be maximized separately.
