l INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE ESCORT PASSPORT MAX RADAR DETECTOR
Your rear
view
mirror
has
minimal
clearance between
the
back
side
of
the
mirror
and the
mirror
stem.
It
is
very
important
that
this
mount
is installed
correctly
to
ensure
mirror
adjustability
is retained.
PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY BEFORE INSTALLING THIS MOUNT
NOTE:
For
illustration
purposes,
the
mount
and rear
view
mirror
shown
in these
instructions
may
look
slightly
different
then YOUR
mount
and rear
view
mirror.
OPPOSING FORCES
1 -The RELEASE Button on the radar detector (RD) is
NOT
used with this mount.
To
release the tension
of
the spri
ng
clip, simply squeeze the TRIGGER and the back side
of the mount together. This
will
lower the bottom porti
on
of the spring clip allowing you to
slide the
RD
on
and off. When used properly, the spring clip avoids putting excessive
pressure
on
the mirror stem when installing and removing the
RD
. The
top
portion
of
the mount should barely
move
when the
two
opposing forces are applied.
TOP
SECTION
---~
-,r~
-.
TOP AND MID
SECTIONS MUST TOUCH
AT THE PIVOT POINT
BEFORE CLAMP SCREW
IS FULLY TIGHTENED
3 -Loosen the clamp screw so the top section separates from the mid section. This will
provide the necessary clearance to slide the mount over the mirror stem as shown above.
Ad
just the mirror parallel to the windshield for ease of installation. As you are tightening the
clamp screw, make sure the top and mid sections touch at the pivot point.
If
they
do
not
touch
at
the pivot point, this
mount
is
incompatible with your mirror type. Tighten the
clamp screw until the mount is
sl
ightly snug around the mirror stem.
BOTTOM
OF
SPRING CLIP
IS PARALLEL WITH
RO
2 - The
bottom
of
the
spring
clip
must
be parallel
with
the
top
of
the
RD
to
slide
in and out. SLIDE THE RD ONTO
THE SPRING CLIP AS FAR AS IT WILL GO. Release the
tr
igger to secure the
RD
onto the mount. Before installing the
mount onto your rear view mirror, remove and
in
stall the RD a
few times
so
you can observe how the spring clip functions.
4 -Position the mount as far forward as you
can
. Befo
re
fully tightening the clamp screw,
make sure the bottom ofthe mount
is
parallel
with the bottom of the mirror.

APPROXIMATELY 1/2"
GAP
BETWEEN
MIRROR
-
AND
RO
5 • Install the RD onto the mount. Make the necessary adjustments as shown above.
Using the vertical adjustment, we recommend you adjust the RD so there
is
approxi-
mately 1/2" gap between the bottom
of
the mirror and the top
of
the
RD
. After all ad-
justments are made,
be
sure to check that all adjustment screws are tight. Grab the
long arm
of
the alien wrench to assure that these screws are securely tightened.
You
will not strip out the tapped holes in the aircraft grade aluminum.
6 •
To
access the buttons
of
the RD you will need to gently push
downward on the front
of
the RD with one finger and push the de-
sired button with another finger. Then allow the RD to return to it's
original position by gently letting it spring upward. When accessing
the buttons, be sure to push the RD downward
just
enough for your
finger to fit between the RD and mirror. Do not push down more
than what
is
needed.

7 • When removing
or
installing the RD, squeeze the trigger and the back side
of
the mounttogether with one hand, and lift the front
of
the RD upward with
the other hand before sliding the RD off or onto the spring clip. You
must
lift
the
front
of
the
RD
upward
before
sliding
it
off
or
onto
the
mount.
NOTE : This mount can get extremely hot when sitting in direct sunlight. If you intend to remove your RD frequently, you may want
to
install the two gray
"TOUCH STRIPS" included in the tool kit. Place them where your fingers make contact with the mount. They may be trimmed with a blade or knife.
