PASSPORT X70 Mounting Location
WARNING: ESCORT cannot anticipate the
many ways PASSPORT X70 can be mounted.
It is important that you mount PASSPORT
X70 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 X70 level, and high enough on your
front windshield to provide a clear view of the
road from the front and rear.
• Mount PASSPORT X70 away from windshield
wipers, other solid objects, and heavily tinted
areas that might obstruct the radar antenna or
laser lens.
Using PASSPORT X70

jack on PASSPORT X70 and large end of
Smar tCord into your car’s lighter/accessory
socket.

automatica lly. If not, press the device’s power
button.

1 Depress the adjustment button on the top of
PASSPORT X70 (by the word ESCORT) 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 X70 on your
windshield, use the EasyMount adjustment
button located on the top of the PASSPORT X70,
and slide PASSPORT X70 forward or backward to
obtain a level position.
When installed and adjusted properly, the back
top edge of the PASSPORT X70 should rest solidly
against your windshield.
