Power Connection
To power Passport, plug the small end of
the SmartCord, (telephone-type
connector) into the modular jack on
Passport’s right side, and plug the lighter
plug adapter into your vehicle’s lighter
socket or accessory socket.
Passport operates on
1
2 volts DC negative
ground only. The lighter plug provided is a
standard size and will work in most vehicles.
However, some vehicles may require the
enclosed sleeve to ensure a snug fit. If so,
simply slide the sleeve over the SmartCord’s
lighter plug adapter. Of course, your lighter
socket must be clean and properly
connected for proper operation.
Note: depending on your vehicle, the lighter
socket power may either be continuously
on, or it may be switched on and off with
your ignition switch.
Optional power cords
See the Accessories section for details on
our optional Direct-wire SmartCord.
Mounting Location
WARNING: ESCORT cannot anticipate the
many ways Passport can be mounted. It is
important that you mount Passport where it
will not impair your view nor present
a hazard in case of an accident.
Where to mount Passport
For optimum detection performance, we
recommend the following:
• Using the Windshield Mount, mount your
Passport level, and high enough on your
front windshield to provide a clear view of
the road from the front and rear.
• Mount Passport away from windshield
wipers, other solid objects, and heavily
tinted areas that might obstruct the radar
antenna or laser lens.
