Mount your Passport on the windshield using the windshield mount. Rotate the volume thumbwheel on Passport’s left side to turn Passport on and adjust the volume. Please read the manual to fully understand Passport’s operation and features. EasyMount Slot Insert Passport’s adjustable Windshield mount into this slot. Pg 4-5 EasyMount Button Press and slide the Windshield mount to one of its four positions. Pg 5 AutoMute Passport’s patented AutoMute auto- matically reduces the volume level of the audio alert. Pg 6. If you prefer, you can turn AutoMute off. Pg 10 Power Jack Plug power cord or optional SmartCord into this connector. Pg 4, 8, 25 Power/Volume Control Rotate the thumbwheel to turn Passport on and set the volume. City Button Switches between AutoSensitivity, City, and Highway settings. In general, we recommend the Auto mode. Pg 6 Quick Reference Guide 1 2 3 3 Quick Reference Guide EZ Programming Passport is ready to go– just plug it in and turn it on. But you can also easily change 10 features for your prefer- ences. Press both top buttons to enter the Program Mode, then easily Review or Change your settings. Pg 10-14 Mute Button Briefly press this button (next to the display) to silence the audio for a specific alert. (The audio will alert you to the next encounter.) Pg 6 Matrix Display Passport’s display will show “Highway”, “Auto,” or “City” as its power-on indica- tion. Pg 6. If you prefer, you can choose other power-on indications. Pg 10-12 During an alert, the display will indi- cate radar band, and a precise bar graph of signal strength. Pg 8 Note: in the Dark Mode the display will not light during an alert. Pg 7 You can program Passport for the ExpertMeter, which displays up to 8 radar signals at once. Pg 9 The display can also show Safety Radar text messages. Pg 20-21 Dim Button Press to adjust display brightness. There are three brightness settings, plus Dark Mode. Pg 7 In the Dark Mode, the power-on indication will be changed to AD, HD, or CD (indicating Auto, Highway, or City Dark). In the Dark Mode, Passport’s meter will not display during an alert, only the audio will alert you. 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…

This report is designed to demonstrate the compliance of the Passport 7500 with the requirements outlined in Part 15 (using the methods outlined in Part 2) of 47 CFR. This model differs from FCC ID: QKL7500 in that it has a different antenna and different detection circuitry. Statement of Conformity 47 CFR 15.109(h) states that “Radar detectors shall comply with the emissions limits...of [section 15.109(a)] over the frequency range of 11.7 – 12.2GHz.” The applicable limit being 500μV/m measured at a distance of 3m. The Escort Passport 7500 has been tested and found to comply with this requirement: Test Methodology Radiated emission testing was performed according to the procedures in ANSI C63.4 (2001). The testing was performed at a distance of 1 meter. The device’s performance was investigated in the range 11.7-12.2GHz. The Passport 7500 was powered by a R.O.C. SPN4025A 12VDC 400mA power supply. Since the device is a hand-held unit, the emissions were maximized around the three orthogonal axes and the maximum reading was recorded. The integrated antenna cannot be maximized separately.
