Windshield Mount

PASSPORT X70’s EasyMount windshield bracket
is designed for unobtrusive and hassle-free
mounting.

Mounting Tips:

• Center of windshield between driver and
passenger.

• Ensure clear view of road ahead and sky
above.

• Avoid windshield wipers and heavily tinted
areas.

PASSPORT X70 Mounting Location

WARNING: ESCORT cannot anticipate the
many ways PASSPORT X70 can be mounted.
It is important that you mount PASSPORT
X70 where it will not impair your view nor
present a hazard in case of an accident.

For optimum detection performance, we

recommend the following:

• Using the Windshield Mount, mount your
PASSPORT X70 level, and high enough on your
front windshield to provide a clear view of the
road from the front and rear.

• Mount PASSPORT X70 away from windshield
wipers, other solid objects, and heavily tinted
areas that might obstruct the radar antenna or

laser lens.

1 Depress the adjustment button on the top of
PASSPORT X70 (by the word ESCORT) 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.

To ensure that the suction cups adhere to the
windshield firmly, be sure to keep both your
windshield and the suction cups clean.

2 To adjust the PASSPORT X70 on your
windshield, use the EasyMount adjustment

button located on the top of the PASSPORT X70,
and slide PASSPORT X70 forward or backward to
obtain a level position.
When installed and adjusted properly, the back
top edge of the PASSPORT X70 should rest solidly
against your windshield.

User’s Tip:

bracket in place on your windshield, and easily
remove PASSPORT X70 by pressing the
adjustment button and sliding PASSPORT X70 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.
