Windshield Mount

PASSPORT’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 Mounting Location

WARNING: ESCORT cannot anticipate the
many ways PASSPORT can be mounted. It is
important that you mount PASSPORT 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 level, and high enough on your
front windshield to provide a clear view of the
road from the front and rear.

• Mount PASSPORT 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 (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 on your windshield,

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

User’s Tip:

bracket in place on your windshield, and easily
remove PASSPORT by pressing the adjustment

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.
