We've also addressed the increasing number of safety cameras throughout
the U.S. and Canada,
including red-light and fixed position speed cameras,
by programming thousands of these locations
into to its memory. As you
approach these high-risk locations, the PASSPORT 9500ix alerts you in advance,
keeping you up to date and ticket-free. To stay updated, simply connect
it to your computer and download
the most recent updates from our website.
AutoLearn: Artificial Intelligence Protection
Our new AutoLearn feature uses artificial intelligence to automatically
"learn" (by exact location and frequency)
each radar signal and determines
if it's a real threat. The result is the most accurate long-range protection
in the industry and a permanent solution to false alarms.
Safety Camera Database
Speed traps and camera locations are everywhere. It's a stretch of
highway where they always sit, or it's
a back road that quickly changes
from 45 mph to 25 mph within a few hundred feet. You don't always
remember,
but now your PASSPORT 9500ix will. We've addressed the increasing number
of "safety"
cameras installed throughout the U.S. and Canada, by including
red light and fixed-position speed cameras.
Each model is shipped pre-loaded
with thousands of these camera locations stored in its memory.
As you approach
these locations, the 9500ix will alert you in advance, keeping you up-to-date
and ticket-free.
You can even add your own "hot spots" using our exclusive
Mark Location feature. And, since the number
of "safety" cameras continues
to grow each day, we've made it simple and easy to keep you updated.
Web Ready
The PASSPORT 9500ix is the first radar and laser detector that can
be easily updated using your computer
and the power of the internet. Simply
connect your detector to your computer, log on to our website,
and download
the most up to date locations. You can even back up your data or update
the detector's
operating software, (firmware), if needed. The database
is updated weekly, and Escort provides three
months of downloadable updates
for free. Database Subscriptions are also available to keep you up to
date
on future Speed Traps, Red Light Cameras and Speed Cameras.
Variable Speed Sensitivity - On Demand Performance
Our patented GPS technology allows us to make your driving experience
free from distractions and
less complicated. For example, both models use
GPS to vary X and K-band sensitivity based on your
vehicle's speed. This
allows the detector to provide alerts based on what the vehicle is actually
doing.
At highway speeds you need to best long range sensitivity you can
get. At slower speeds, the sensitivity
can be adjusted to further reduce
unneeded alerts, especially when you're not at risk. We've even changed
the actual alert to a short double-tone when your vehicle is moving less
than 20 mph.
Simple and Intuitive Controls
All of products are pre-set and ready to go. However, each of them
can be set up for your specific type
of driving and personal preference.
Our Preferences option allows you to change several options,
including
which radar bands you'd like to monitor, which meter you would like to
see when a signal
is detected and whether you'd like to see your vehicle
speed during the initial alert. Regardless of how
you drive, we've got
you covered.
SpeedAlert™ Provides Vehicle Speed During Each Alert
The PASSPORT 9500ix radar detector provides all the information you
need to make an intelligent
decision during each and every alert. The radar
or laser band, signal strength, and now your vehicle
speed are displayed
during an alert to help you make the best possible decision.
Crystal-Clear Voice Alerts
PASSPORT's unique voice alerts provide clear communications for alerts
and menu options. Now you
can keep your eyes on the road without unnecessary
distractions.
AutoVolume
The PASSPORT 9500ix will adjust the alert volume level based on the
ambient noise in the vehicle.
Using a miniature microphone, the 9500ix
monitors ambient noise and will increase the volume level
automatically
to ensure you take notice even with loud music, passenger conversations
or excessive
wind noise. Now each alert will be heard so you can react
if needed.
PASSPORT 9500ix comes complete with comprehensive owner's manual, quick-release
windshield
mount, coiled SmartCord, quick reference card, and an ESCORT
travel case. If you would like
a more permanent installation for your PASSPORT
9500ix, check out the DirectWire SmartCord
or the more basic DirectWire
kit for hardwired installations.
