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
WARNING: 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.
Using PASSPORT S55
1 Plug small end of SmartCord into modular
jack on PASSPORT S55 and large end of
SmartCord into your car’s lighter/accessory
socket.
2 PASSPORT S55 should power on
automatically. If not, press the device’s power
button.
NOTE: You can easily access and customize all
of your Settings and Preferences by pressing
and holding the VOL and BRT buttons. See
Settings & Preferences for details.
Using SmartCord
• Mute Button: Press to mute an alert.
• Alert Light: Blinks red when receiving an
alert.
• Power Light: Lights green when receiving
power.
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.
Compatib le with
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.
Additional mounts are available at EscortRadar.
