I just purchased a passport 8500 x50. Most of the time when I go WOT the detector will go off laser at full force. I don't understand why this is happening and I was wondering if anyone can help me with this?

Thanks in advance

It's scared of WOT.
It knows you will be speeding soon, so it's a forewarning.

Hmmm, how often does this happen, I.E. how often are you at WOT? is it pluged into your 12v outlet? or hardwired?

It is plugged into my 12 volt outlet and I don't think it is defective because when I borrowed my friends it would also happen , his was the x50 also. It doesn't do this every time but I already know that it is aggravating.
