Important Information: Please Read This First!
To reduce the risk of personal injury, please follow these important Dos
and Do Nots.…
DO…
• Secure the Display to ashtray, glove box or other suitable location.
• Make certain GPS Antenna Wire is not in driver’s or passengers’ way when placed
on vehicle roof.
DO NOT…
• DO NOT expose the 750MTMto damp locations or to any type of fluids.
• DO NOT place Carry Case on dashboard, rear deck or in truck bed.
• DO NOT place Display on a seat or in a location where it is not secure.
• DO NOT operate system without the Battery attached to the Battery Cable.
• DO NOT obstruct any airbag or other vehicle safety device.
PRECAUTIONS
This symbol is intended to alert the user to the presence of
important operating instructions. Failure to heed the
instructions can result in injury or material damage.
This symbol indicates information which can be helpful in

BATTERY PRECAUTIONS
DO…
• Only charge the Battery using the Battery Charger supplied to avoid damage.
• The Battery contains diluted sulfuric acid, a very toxic substance. If sulfuric acid
contacts skin or clothing, immediately wash with plenty of clean water. If the acid
splashes into eyes, immediately flush with plenty of clean water and consult a
physician. Sulfuric acid in the eyes may cause a loss of eyesight and acid on the
skin will cause burns.
• Check the Battery for any sign of irregularities in appearance. If any cracks or
deformities are noticed, replace the Battery with a new one. Call Magellan
Customer Service center at 1-877-4CARNAV (1-877-422-7628) for a replacement.
• Avoid mechanical shock to Battery such as dropping which may cause damage
and/or deterioration to the Battery.
DO NOT…
• DO NOT connect the Battery to direct power; use the specified Battery Charger.
• DO NOT use a dry cloth or duster to clean the Battery. Avoid static electricity that
could cause the Battery to explode. If the Battery requires cleaning, disconnect the
Battery from the Battery Cable and clean with a slightly damp cloth only.
• DO NOT expose the Battery to extremely hot temperatures or leave in direct sun-
light, in front of a stove, or near a fire.
• DO NOT use the Battery in a dusty environment which may short the battery.
• DO NOT throw the Battery in a fire or extreme heat which may cause the Battery to
emit toxic gas or explode.
• DO NOT attempt to disassemble or destroy the Battery, as injury may result.
• DO NOT allow metallic objects or liquids to contact or short-circuit the Battery
terminals, as burns or injuries may result.
• DO NOT apply organic solvents such as paint thinner, gasoline, kerosene, or liquid
detergents to the Battery which may cause leakage.

Upon purchasing the 750M verify that the product box contains both a Carry Case (which
contains all of the 750M components) and the Battery.
Before installation, please verify that the pre-assembled 750
M system in the Carry Case includes
the following components:
If any part is missing,please contact a Magellan retailer or Magellan’s
customer service department at 1-877-4-CARNAV (1-877-422-7628).

The 750M Carry Case has been designed to provide Magellan’s Portable Vehicle Navigation
system with expandable functionality and user friendliness.
Special features include the Air Vents and a Communication Port Access Flap. Additionally, the
system is pre-assembled and fits neatly into specialized compartments for ease of use.
The Air Vents are designed to allow proper airflow to the 750M Navigation Computer,
therefore, must not become obstructed. The Access Flap is designed for accessibility to the
750M Communication Ports. As future developments of the 750M occur, such as software
updates, map changes, etc., these ports will allow the user to make changes easily.

DO…
• Position Carry Case to eliminate movement while driving with handle facing toward front of
vehicle.
• Place Carry Case in the same orientation each time the system is used to reduce calibration
requirements.
• Complete calibration steps when system is powered up for the first time and after the 750M
has:
- been moved to a different vehicle;
- or has its in-vehicle location changed.
• Place GPS Antenna on vehicle roof so that it has a clear view of the sky. If obstructed by a
rack or other attached roof equipment, the GPS Antenna may not receive satellite signals.
DO NOT…
• DO NOT obstruct Carry Case Air Vents from airflow. Failure to keep Air Vents free of
obstructions could cause permanent damage to the 750M Navigation Computer.
• DO NOT allow any part of the 750M to become wet, moist or allow any part of the 750M to
become exposed to any liquids.
• DO NOT expose any 750M part to extreme heat or cold for extensive periods of time.
• DO NOT tangle, kink, or excessively twist GPS Antenna Wire when winding or unwinding
from Antenna Storage Spool.
• DO NOT store antenna on Navigation Computer side of Carry Case.

Battery Connection
It is important that the Battery be connected to the Battery Cable before using the 750
M
system. Please be sure that the Battery is attached to the Battery Cable each time the system is
used.
Upon first use of the 750M or if the Battery has become disconnected, be sure to connect the
Battery to the Battery Cable. Verify that the Battery is connected correctly using the ‘BATTERY
TEST’ button. When pressed, the Battery Status Indicator should illuminate indicating the
charge of the battery. A reading of 70% or greater is preferred. Refer to ‘Battery Charger’ in
the ‘Operations’ section for further details.
DO NOT operate the system without the Battery attached to the
Battery Cable. A 12-volt power source exists at the Battery Cable
conductors even if the Battery is removed during 750M operation.
