When using this Magellan product, these safety rules must be followed to prevent accidents that can result in injury or death to yourself or others:
Please check with your state or local law enforcement for applicable regulations regarding mounting to the windshield. Go for alternate mounting solutions. to www.magellanGPS.com When driving, the need to view the display is minimal. Voice prompts will guide you to your destination. The driver should enter data or program the Magellan receiver only when the vehicle is stopped. Only a vehicle passenger should enter data or program the receiver while the vehicle is moving. It is your responsibility to comply with all traffic laws. Every attempt is made to ensure that the database is accurate. However, roadways, points of interest (POIs), and business and service locations may change over time. The database does not include, analyze, process, consider, or reflect any of the following: legal restrictions (such as vehicular type, weight, height, width, load and speed restrictions); road slope or grade; bridge height, width, weight, or other limits; population density; neighborhood quality or safety; availability or proximity of law enforcement, emergency rescue, medical, or other assistance;
construction work zones or hazards; road or lane closures;
road, traffic, or traffic facilities safety or condition; weather conditions; pavement characteristics or conditions; special events;

For example, do not leave it exposed to direct sunlight for an extended period of time. The maximum operating temperature is 140F (60C). Take care when mounting the receiver in your vehicle, whether using the windshield mount or other mount or accessories, that it does not obstruct the driver's view of the road, interfere with the operation of the vehicle's safety devices such as air bags, or present a hazard to occupants of the vehicle should the receiver be dislodged while driving. You assume the risks associated with damage to your vehicle or vehicle occupants as the result of your choices in mounting the receiver. The battery is rechargeable and should not be removed.

Hold the cradle assembly firmly against a clean, dry surface and push lever towards the base. Attach the receiver. Installation Choose a Location. The Magellan RoadMate receiver needs a clear view of the sky to receive signals from the GPS satellites so choose a location with an unobstructed view of the sky, commonly on or near the windshield. The instructions here describe mounting the receiver to the windshield, which is the most common use, but you can use any flat, smooth surface that the suction mount will attach to firmly. Be sure to check the mount after installation and verify that it wont lose suction. Warning: Do not mount the receiver on or allow the power cable to pass over air bags. Connect Power. Connect the power cable to a vehicle power receptacle. The internal battery will begin charging as soon as power is supplied to the Magellan RoadMate receiver through the vehicle power cable. Note: Some vehicles require that the ignition be on before power is delivered to the power receptacle. 605-0347-001 A.fm Page 5 Tuesday, March 15, 2011 2:51 PM General Information Please refer to this handbook for questions on using the Magellan RoadMate receiver.

(USB) Power Press the power switch (A) to turn the receiver on. Press the power switch to put the receiver into suspend mode. Press and hold the power switch for more than 3 seconds to turn the receiver completely off.
(Turning the receiver completely off and then back on [Power Reset] can sometimes solve any problems encountered while using the receiver.) The first time you use the Magellan RoadMate it may take up to 4 minutes to compute your location under normal conditions. With adverse conditions (not having a clear view of the sky) the time to compute your location the first time can greatly increase. Battery The Magellan RoadMate receiver has an internal battery that is charged when it is being powered by the vehicle power cable or an external
(optional) AC power adapter. It is estimated that a receiver can operate for 2 hours from a fully charged battery. To view the battery strength indicator, access the Main menu. The battery strength is shown below the signal strength indicator. 605-0347-001 A.fm Page 6 Tuesday, March 15, 2011 2:51 PM It can take up to 4 hours to fully charge the battery, depending on the battery level. However, the battery does not need to be fully charged to use the Magellan RoadMate receiver. Satellite Signal Strength To view the satellite signal strength indicator, tap on the Menu button. The signal strength indicator can be found in the upper right corner. 4 bars green:
Strong signal Blank: No satellite signals. Unable to compute position. If you are not getting your current location, use these tips to improve satellite signal reception. Leave the garage or parking structure so the GPS receiver has a clear view of the sky. Satellite signals can be blocked by tall buildings, trees or mountains. You may intermittently see a drop in signal strength in these types of environments. Traffic Notice Your Magellan RoadMate comes equipped with lifetime traffic but requires that you use the supplied vehicle power adapter to work. Traffic warnings will not appear if you are using a power adapter other than the one supplied or operating the receiver on internal batteries. Landscape or Portrait Display The Magellan RoadMate can be used in landscape or portrait display mode.
