Page 5: Mounting Location
Mounting in Your Vehicle Warning: Do not mount PASSPORT iQ where it impairs the driver’s view of the road. Make sure that airbags are not obstructed by the device. Mounting location Be sure to mount PASSPORT iQ level and high enough on your front windshield to provide a clear view of the road ahead. In order for the GPS features to work properly, the top case must have a clear view of the sky. For optimum radar and laser sensitivity, center PASSPORT iQ between the driver and passenger and ensure the back of the device faces forward. Mount PASSPORT iQ away from windshield wipers, other solid objects, and heavily tinted areas that might obstruct the radar antenna or laser lens. Mounting instructions PASSPORT iQ’s EasyMount windshield bracket is designed for unobtrusive and hassle‐free mounting. To attach the EasyMount bracket to your windshield, press the suction cup firmly onto the glass, then flip the locking clamp to ensure the suction cup is adhered to the windshield securely. Be sure to keep both your windshield and the suction cup clean. To attach PASSPORT iQ to the EasyMount bracket, slide PASSPORT iQ downward so the EasyMount bracket locks into the slot on the back of the device. To adjust PASSPORT iQ on your windshield, move the adjustable EasyMount bracket arm to your preferred view. You can leave the EasyMount bracket in place on your windshield and easily remove PASSPORT iQ by pressing the EasyMount release button and sliding PASSPORT iQ off the mount. Again, be sure to position the bracket where it won’t present a hazard in the event of an accident. ... - Page 6 12. Keep PASSPORT iQ away from liquids that might drip or splash on it. Do not place liquid‐ filled containers on it. 13. Failure to avoid the following potentially hazardous situations could result in an accident or collision resulting in death or serious injury: • When installing PASSPORT iQ in a vehicle, place the unit securely, so it does not obstruct the driver’s view of the road or interfere with vehicle operating controls, such as the steering wheel, foot pedals, or transmission levers. Do not place in front of or above any airbag. • When navigating, carefully compare information displayed on PASSPORT iQ to all available navigation sources, including information from street signs, visual sightings, and maps. For safety, always resolve any discrepancies or questions before continuing navigation and defer to posted road signs. • Always operate the vehicle in a safe manner. Do not become distracted by PASSPORT iQ while driving and always be fully aware of all driving conditions Minimize the amount of time spent viewing PASSPORT iQ’s screen while driving and use voice prompts when possible. Do not input destinations, change settings, or access any functions requiring prolonged use of PASSPORT iQ’s controls while driving. Pull over in a safe and legal manner before attempting such operations. • PASSPORT iQ is designed to provide route suggestions. It is not designed to replace the need for driver attentiveness regarding road closures or road conditions, traffic congestion, weather conditions, or other factors that may affect safety while driving. Important: Always be sure that PASSPORT iQ and any external device connected to it are switched off and unplugged from the power supply before you attempt to connect it to another external device.
