RADAR•LASER•DETECTOR
For optimum detection performance, we
recommend the following:
•Using the Windshield Mount, mount your
PASSPORT X50 level, and high enough on your
front windshield to provide a clear view of the
road from the front and rear.
•Mount PASSPORT X50 away from windshield
wipers, other solid objects, and heavily tinted
areas that might obstruct the radar antenna or
laser lens.
1Depress the adjustment/release button on the
top of PASSPORT X50 (by the logo X50) 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.
2To adjust the PASSPORT X50 on your
windshield, use the EasyMount adjustment
button located on the top of the PASSPORT X50,
and slide PASSPORT X50 forward or backward to
obtain a level position.
When installed and adjusted properly, the back
top edge of the PASSPORT X50 should rest solidly
against your windshield.
