Safety Notice

IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS

The Magellan SmartGPS receiver is a vehicle-navigation aid designed to assist you in arriving at your selected destinations. When using the Magellan SmartGPS receiver, these safety rules must be followed to prevent accidents that can result in injury or death to yourself or others:

Please check the applicable regulations in your state regarding windshield mounting. Certain states prohibit the mounting of any items on your windshield. Go to www.magellanGPS.com for alternative mounting solutions.

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 SmartGPS receiver only when the vehicle is stationary. Only a vehicle passenger should enter data or program the Magellan SmartGPS receiver while the vehicle is moving. Do not become distracted by the receiver while driving, and always be fully aware of all driving conditions.

It is your responsibility to comply with all traffic laws and to use the Magellan SmartGPS and mounting options in such a manner that the user is in compliance with applicable laws.

Roads, points of interest (POIs), business and service locations may change over time. As a result the database may contain inaccuracy. Also, the database does not include, analyse, process, consider, or reflect any of the following: legal restrictions (such as vehicle type, weight, height, width, load and speed restrictions); road slope or gradient; bridge height, width, weight or other limits; population density; neighborhood quality or safety; availability or proximity of police, 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; traffic congestion. It is your responsibility to disregard any unsafe, hazardous or illegal route suggestions.

Keep the Magellan SmartGPS receiver safe from extreme temperature conditions. For example, do not leave it exposed to direct sunlight for an extended period of time.

Take care when mounting the Magellan SmartGPS receiver in your vehicle, whether using the windshield mount or other mounts, 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. It is your responsibility to assess the risks associated with damage to your vehicle or vehicle occupants as the result of your choices in mounting the Magellan SmartGPS receiver.

Temperature

The maximum operating temperature is 140°F (60°C).

Battery

The battery in the Magellan SmartGPS receiver is rechargeable and should not be removed. In the event that it should need to be replaced, please contact Magellan Technical Support.

Charging the Magellan SmartGPS

An optional AC adapter is available as an accessory for your Magellan SmartGPS. Use of another type of AC adapter can result in malfunction and/or possible fire hazard due to battery overheating.

www.magellangps.com

Only use the car charger approved for/supplied with your Magellan SmartGPS receiver. Use of another type of car charger will result in fire or electric shock.

For safety reasons, the battery in your Magellan SmartGPS receiver will stop charging when the ambient temperature is less than 32°F (0°C) or more than 113°F (45°C).

It will take approximately 4 hours of charging the Magellan SmartGPS receiver through the vehicle power adapter or optional AC adapter to obtain a full battery charge. It is recommended that you charge the battery initially for at least 2 hours.

Use only the charger approved for your Magellan SmartGPS receiver.

Estimated usage of the Magellan SmartGPS on battery power is approximately 30 minutes.

Syncing Content from MiCloud

As described in the table above, much of the content available on the Magellan SmartGPS is added through the MiCloud using a Wi-Fi network, Magellan Content Manager or Bluetooth connection.

How It Works

When you register your device a MiCloud account is created where your content is stored. The MiCloud continuously pulls information from the Internet that will be used for content.

When your device connects to MiCloud, MiCloud begins researching your current location and your address book to determine what content best suits your driving needs.

After the analysis of what content to send, MiCloud begins syncing new content, as well as verifying that your existent content is up-to-date.

This process keeps your device current with the content most needed by you without spending time sending more information than is needed.

How to Connect

There are three methods to connect to MiCloud,; Wi-Fi, Magellan Content Manager and Bluetooth. Which method you choose will be based upon what methods are available to you.

•

Wi-Fi Connection:

connect to any Wi-Fi network that you have established a connection with in Wi-Fi Settings. Once the network has been defined, the Magellan SmartGPS will try to connect to the network whenever it is in range. Once connected, it will communicate with MiCloud and the process of obtaining new content begins. Additionally, when you turn off the Magellan SmartGPS and you are within range of a connected network, the Magellan SmartGPS will continue syncing for up to one hour after it is turned off.

•

Magellan Content Manager:

and open the Magellan Content Manager web page. From the Magellan Content Manager you can initiate content syncing from MiCloud to your device.

•

a communication between MiCloud and your device using the Bluetooth connection. This requires that you have the Magellan app running on your smartphone and you have paired the phone with your Magellan SmartGPS.

WARNING

Syncing MiCloud to your device via your smartphone may cause increased data usage. Please check with your carrier to ensure you have sufficient data available for use. Data rate charges vary by carrier and plan. It is your responsibility to monitor your usage in an effort to not exceed your data plan allowances.
