Windshield Mount

PASSPORT’s EasyMount windshield bracket is
designed for unobtrusive and hassle-free
mounting.

Mounting Location

WARNING : ESCORT cannot anticipate the many
ways PASSPORT can be mounted. It is impor tant
that you mount PASSPORT where it will not
impair you r view nor present a hazard in case of
an accident.

Using the supplied windshield mount, position your
PASSPORT level and high enough on your front
windshield to provide a clear view of the road ahead.
To ensure that the suction cups adhere to the
windshield firmly and be sure to keep both your
windshield and the suction cups clean. For optimum
detection performance, we recommend the
following on where to mount PASSPORT:

• Center of windshield between driver and
passenger.

• Ensure clear view of road ahead and sky above.

• Avoid windshield wipers and heavily tinted

areas.

• For optimum rear detection, center the
detector between the driver and passenger.

Mount PASSPORT away from windshield wipers,
other solid objects, and heavily tinted areas that
might obstruct the radar antenna or laser lens.

NOTE: In order for PASSPORT’s GPS-powered features
to work properly, the top case must have a clear view
of the sky.

1 Depress the release button on the top of

PASSPORT (by the word PASSPORT) and slide
the EasyMount bracket into the slot until it is

locked into the position which best fits the
angle of your windshield (there are four settings
available). For extremely horizontal or
extremely sloped windshields, the EasyMount

bracket can be bent. However, we suggest that

you do not do this when the bracket is
connected to the detector.

2 To adjust PASSPORT on your windshield, use the

EasyMount release button located on the top of

the PASSPORT, and slide PASSPORT forward or

backward to obtain a level position.

Level mounting

When installed and adjusted properly, the back top
edge of PASSPORT should rest solidly against your
windshield.

Facin g Down Facing Up

User’s Tip

You can leave the EasyMount bracket in place on
your windshield, and easily remove PASSPORT by
pressing the release button and sliding PASSPORT
off the mount. Again, be sure to position the
bracket where it won’t present a hazard in the
event of an accident. Additional mounts are
available at EscortRadar.com.

Power Connection

To power PASSPORT, plug the small end of the
SmartCord, (telephone-type connector) into the
modular jack on PASSPORT’s left side, and plug the
lighter plug adapter into your vehicle’s lighter
socket or accessor y socket.

Press the power button located on the top case
and adjust the volume level by pressing the “VOL”

+ or – buttons located on the top case.

PASSPORT operates on 12 volts DC negative
ground only. The lighter plug provided is a
standard size and will work in most vehicles.

However, some vehicles may require our optional
sleeve to ensure a snug fit. If so, simply call or visit
EscortRadar.com.

You can easily access and customize all of your
Settings and Preferences by pressing and holding
the MRK and SEN buttons. See Settings &
Preferences for details.

NOTE: depending on your vehicle, the lighter socket
power may either be continuously on, or it may be
switched on and off with your ignition switch.
