PASSPORT iQ operates on 12‐volt DC negative ground only. The lighter plug provided is a standard size
and will work in most vehicles.
Note: Depending on your vehicle, the lighter socket power may be continuously on or it may be
switched on and off with your ignition switch.
Charging the Battery
PASSPORT iQ comes with a built‐in rechargeable battery. Charge the battery fully before using it for the
first time. To charge the battery, connect PASSPORT iQ to a desktop or laptop computer via the USB
cable or to an AC/DC 12‐volt wall adapter via the SmartCord. Charging time is normally about eight
hours (or overnight) via USB computer connection or two hours via wall adapter. A fully charged battery
delivers about two hours of use.
Note: Radar/laser detection features cannot run on the PASSPORT iQ battery alone. These
functions will only work when your device is connected to your vehicle via the SmartCord.
