To power the SC55, plug the small end of
the SmartCord, (telephone-type
connector) into the modular jack on left
side marked “power”, and plug the lighter
plug adapter into your vehicle’s lighter
socket or accessory socket.
The SC55 operates on 12 volts DC
negative ground only. The lighter plug
provided is a standard size and will work
in most vehicles.

the lighter socket power may either be

Mounting Location
WARNING: ESCORT cannot
anticipate the many ways the SC55 can
be mounted. It is important that you
mount it where it will not impair your
view nor present a hazard in case of
an accident.
User’s Tip
You can also install the SC55 directly on
the dash using the supplied double-sided
tape.
NOTE: Regardless of where you
install the SC55, it must have a clear
view of the sky in order for it to
receive GPS signals.
Where to mount PASSPORT
For optimum performance, we
recommend the following:
Using the supplied windshield mount,
mount your SC55 level on your front
windshield. Or, you may also use the
supplied double-stick tape or hook and
loop fastner to position the SC55 on the
dashboard. Please ensure it has a clear
view of the sky.
NOTE: In order for the SC55’s GPS
technology to work properly, the top
case must have a clear view of the sky
Windshield Mount
The SC55’s windshield bracket is designed
for unobtrusive and hassle-free mounting.
1 With the SC55 attached to the mount,
simply press the suction cups against the
window.
NOTE: 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 SC55’s angle on your
windshield, remove the mount while the
SC55 is still attached and gently bend the
metal part of the mount that holds the
cups. Once you have achieved the angle
required for your particular windshield, re-
install on the glass.
When installed and adjusted properly,
the SC55 will be level with the mount
bumper resting against the glass.
