Passport 8500 Radar Detector - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
Where do I send the unit in for service (factory)
I'm sorry, but I would need more information about the specific unit you are referring to in order to provide an accurate answer.
Generally speaking, the manufacturer's website or customer support line should have information on where to send a unit for service. You can also try searching for the nearest authorized service center or dealer using the manufacturer's website or a search engine.
If you can provide me with more details about the unit, including the brand and model number, I may be able to provide more specific guidance.

You may have received a laser hit or a qucik shot on the radar. We don't normally keep the radar on constant - a click of the button sometimes real fast will grab your speed, lock on the display and then the signal will cease to omit.
You may also want to check to see if you are set on city of highway.
It says need to calibrate
Follow the direction of the radar detector. Usually you push the button sequence for calibrate and you drive the car in two circles so it can calibrate the compass.

Escort 8500 radar detector
Service Required means that your 8500 has repeatedly failed while attempting to calibrate its radar antenna. This can be fixed by Escort for free if your RD still is in warranty. There is a service fee if your RD is out of warranty, but at least Escort will fully test everything in addition to repairing your 8500, and they will upgrade your 8500's firmware to whatever their latest and greatest firmware is which may help to improve sensitivity, reduce false alerts, or to detect newer laser gun models.
Goes off frequently with no radar nearby
False alarms are common with most radar detectors. You may need to adjust your detector's settings to compensate for the interference that sets off the alarm. Check your user's manual for instructions on using the menu.
My radar detecor has connection problem. Its not
The problem with your Escort radar is the charging port. It is slacked and need to be replaced. That is why, when you are connecting your charger to it, you have to adjust it to get the proper fitting. Once you plug in a charger into any device over a period of time, it tends to loosen grip and contacts bit by bit It can take years to arrive at the slack point.
SOLUTION: First try cleaning the contacts/charging port, if that does not solve the problem, then it means replacing the contacts/charging port is the last resort.
Complements of the season to you over there. .

Service required came on
Hi,
"Service
required" means that the detector failed the self test when it was
powered on. You need to call Escort at (800) 964-3138 and see if they are
able to repair it.
Unfortunately, this is not a DIY and you need to call Escort for the same.
Let me know,if needed further assistance.
Hope i helped you.
Thanks for using ' Fixya ' and have a nice day!!
