Connections and Controls Installation

Mounting the Receiver
For optimum sensitivity and discretion, mount the receiver behind the rearview mirror, near the far right side of the mirror, just below the tint line on the windshield. Mounting on the passenger side allows greater flexibility when adjusting the mirror to the driver’s view. Be sure to mount the unit close enough to the mirror to enable connections to the mini display controller and rearview mirror wiring harness, but far enough to the right to allow easy removal of the unit from the mounting bracket. Do not mount the receiver where it impairs the driver’s view of the road. ESCORT recommends you first mount the unit using the enclosed suction cup bracket (in case you need to change the mounting location). Then, once you have connected the power and mini display controller, you can create a more permanent mount for your receiver using the enclosed adhesive bracket.

1. Clean the mounting location thoroughly.

2. For temporary mounting:
   Press the suction cup mounting bracket firmly onto the glass.
   For permanent mounting:
   Peel off the paper backing and press the bracket firmly onto the glass.

3. Slide the receiver unit onto the mount so that the bracket locks into the slot on the back of the unit.

4. You can leave the bracket in place on your windshield and easily slide the receiver unit on and off the mount.

Mounting the Mini Display Controller
The Display Controller can be mounted along the top or the bottom of your rearview mirror. ESCORT recommends mounting along the top right corner of your mirror, to ensure close proximity to the receiver unit and to avoid interfering with your field of view.

1. Peel the paper backing off the display mounting bracket and press the bracket firmly onto the mirror, aligning the notch on the back of the bracket with the rim along the mirror’s edge.
2. Peel the paper backing off the Display Controller and press it firmly onto the mounting bracket. For top-of-mirror mounts, the display will sit along the top of the bracket. For bottom-of-mirror mounts, the display will hang below the bracket.
3. Tuck the Display Controller’s cord into the snap along the back of the mounting bracket. Plug the modular connector end of the cord into the receiver unit’s “display” jack.
4. Tuck the Display Controller’s cord into the snap along the back of the mounting bracket. Plug the modular connector end of the cord into the receiver unit’s “display” jack.

NOTE : While SmartRadar’s mini Display Controller provides easy access to alert information and detector controls, it is not required for the receiver unit to work. Drivers using the ESCORT Live! app and those desiring ultimate hidden protection may prefer not to mount the Display Controller, and instead store it in the glove box to connect if needed (e.g. you forgot your smartphone and needed to change your detector settings).
