IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS
The Magellan RoadMate receiver is a vehiclenavigation aid designed to assist you in arriving at your selected destinations. When using
the Magellan RoadMate 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 RoadMate receiver only when the vehicle is stationary. Only a vehicle passenger should enter data or program the Magellan RoadMate 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 RoadMate 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, analyze, 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 RoadMate 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 RoadMate 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 RoadMate receiver.
Temperature
The maximum operating temperature is 140°F (60°C).
Battery
The battery in the Magellan RoadMate 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 RoadMate
An optional AC adapter is available as an accessory for your Magellan RoadMate. Use of another type of AC adapter can result in malfunction and/or possible fire hazard due to battery overheating.
Only use the car charger approved for/supplied with your Magellan RoadMate receiver. Use of another type of car charger will result in fire or electric shock.
For safety reasons, the battery in your Magellan RoadMate 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 RoadMate 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 RoadMate receiver.
Estimated usage of the Magellan RoadMate on battery power is approximately 2 hours.

Magellan RoadMate GPS Receiver
The Magellan® RoadMate® receiver is a vehicle navigation product that uses GPS signals from satellites to calculate your precise location and compute navigational information to guide you to your destination. Knowing its position and movement, your receiver can then overlay this information on detailed maps to provide a visual representation of your location.
With the Magellan RoadMate, you can:
•Save searches and addresses to the OneTouch™ menu for quick access to favorite destinations.
•Store your home address and quickly get routing details to your home.
•Enter and save addresses in your address book and get routing information to those addresses at any time.
•Route to an address using the QuickSpell™ and Smart City search for easy, errorless address entry.
•Route to any Point of Interest (POI) preloaded into your Magellan RoadMate receiver, including hospitals, restaurants, shopping malls, parks, and more.
•Receive navigation instructions with Voice Alerts (Text-to-Speech).
•Create a route with multiple destinations.
•View Highway Exit POIs, a list of gas stations, restaurants, hotels and auto repair shops located at nearby highway exits.
•Personalize your Magellan RoadMate receiver in the Settings menu.
•Receive traffic information to avoid delays in your travel (select models only).
Create and customize routes and settings, knowing that Magellan RoadMate will always provide cutting-edge mapping, low-power battery consumption, and secure technology for your navigation needs.
The Magellan RoadMate receiver has a built-in battery so, in most cases, you will be able to follow these instructions while reading them on your computer screen without plugging the Magellan RoadMate receiver to AC power using an optional AC power adapter.
Note: While indoors, you may not get sufficient satellite signals to compute your location,
so your location information may not be updated. However, the GPS chipset installed in the Magellan RoadMate receiver will pick up satellite signals in some very demanding locations. You may find that the Magellan RoadMate receiver will even compute a position indoors. Even with the improved GPS chipset, the receiver may not be able to always compute a fix indoors.
If you are not getting sufficient satellite signals while in a garage or other structure, move
to a location where there is a clear view of the sky, and you should immediately see an improvement in signal strength.
Thank you for using the Magellan RoadMate.

Notes on Entering Data
If you have trouble getting desired results, follow these tips:
•Check to see if the name of a location contains apostrophes and hyphens if you do not see the POI or street name you are looking for in the list.
•The more characters you enter, the smaller the list of possible options is from which to choose.
•You cannot use accented letters when entering a street or city name. You can enter city and streets names using only standard characters.
QuickSpell
As letters are entered for a city or street, the Quickspell feature checks the database for cities or streets that begin with the letters entered. Any letters that cannot be used to spell a city or street name are greyed out.

The Smart City Search feature attempts to predict the city you are looking for based on your position and cities you’ve gone to before.
Whenever entering or searching for an address, the Enter City Name keyboard is displayed first.
As letters are entered, Quickspell checks the database for cities beginning with the letters entered. Keys that don’t spell a city in the database are greyed out, and Smart City Search displays a suggested city in the text field.

button to continue when the city is correct.
Tapping the 
button displays a list of cities that begin with the letters entered.
