Pg 7 Radar Antenna and Laser Lens The back of your Passport should have a clear view of the road ahead. For best performance, do not mount Pass- port directly behind windshield wipers or tinted areas. Pg 4 4 Power Connection To power Passport, plug the small end of the supplied coiled power cord into the telephone-type power jack on Passport's left side, and plug the lighter adapter into your vehicle's lighter socket or accessory socket. Passport operates on 12 volts DC negative ground only. The lighter plug provided is standard size and will work in most ve- hicles. Of course, your lighter socket must be clean and properly connected for proper operation. 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. Passport’s standard lighter adapter has an integral fuseholder. If it is ever necessary to replace the fuse, simply unscrew the tip of the lighter plug and replace the fuse with an identical 2 amp fuse. Optional power cords See the Accessories section for details on our new optional SmartCord MuteDisplay cord. Both a plug-in version and a direct- wire version are available. Power Connection and Mounting Location 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. Where to mount Passport For optimum detection performance, we recommend the following: • Using the Windshield Mount, mount Passport relatively level and a few inches above the dashboard– 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. 5 Windshield Mount 3Mount Passport on your windshield. Using the EasyMount adjustment button, slide Passport forward or backward to a horizontal position. To ensure that the suction cups adhere to the windshield firmly, be sure to keep both your windshield and the suction cups clean. When adjusted properly to minimize bounc- ing, the back top edge of Passport should rest solidly against your windshield. Caution! A few vehicles (including some Porsche 944's) have windshields with a soft “anti- lacerative” coating on the inside surface. Use of suction cups will permanently mar this coating. Consult your dealership or the vehicle’s owner’s manual to determine if your windshield has this coating. User’s Tip You can leave the EasyMount bracket in place on your windshield, and easily re- move 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. Windshield Mount Passport’s EasyMount windshield bracket is designed for unobtrusive and hassle-fre…
