There are 9 user-selectable options so you
can customize your 8500 X50 for your own
preferences. The buttons labeled CITY and

settings, and to CHANGE any settings as
desired. The words PROGRAM, REVIEW,

graphics. Pages 14-16 explain each option in
more detail.

An example
For example, here is how you would turn
Passport’s AutoMute feature off.
1 Enter the Program Mode by holding
both the city and dim buttons down for
2 seconds. Passport will beep twice and
display
Program.
2 Then 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).
3 Release 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.)

from aMute ON to aMute OFF.
