Installation

Windshield Mount

PASSPORT S55'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.
• Avoid windshield wipers and heavily tinted areas.

PASSPORT S55 Mounting Location

ESCORT cannot anticipate the many ways PASSPORT S55 can be mounted. It is important that you mount PASSPORT S55 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 S55 level, and high enough on your front windshield to provide a clear view of the road from the front and rear.
  
  
• Mount PASSPORT S55 away from windshield wipers, other solid objects, and heavily tinted areas that might obstruct the radar antenna or laser lens.
  

1. Depress the adjustment/release button on the top of PASSPORT S55 (by the logo S55) 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 S55 on your windshield, use the EasyMount adjustment button located on the top of the PASSPORT S55, and slide PASSPORT S55 forward or backward to obtain a level position.
   When installed and adjusted properly, the back top edge of the PASSPORT S55 should rest solidly against your windshield.

User's Tip: You can leave the EasyMount bracket in place on your windshield, and easily remove PASSPORT S55 by pressing the adjustment button and sliding PASSPORT S55 off the mount. Again, be sure to position the bracket where it won't present a hazard in the event of an accident.
