IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS
The Magellan Triton is a navigation aid designed to assist you in arriving to your selected destination.
When using the Magellan Triton, these safety rules must be followed to prevent accidents that can
result in injury or death to yourself or others:
IN THE INTEREST OF SAFETY, DO NOT USE THIS NAVIGATION DEVICE WHILE
DRIVING A VEHICLE.
Please do not try and change any settings on the Magellan Triton while driving. Come to a
complete stop or have a passenger make any changes. Taking your eyes off the road is
dangerous and can result in an accident in which you or others could be injured.
USE GOOD JUDGEMENT
This product is an excellent navigation aid, but does not replace the need for careful
orienteering and good judgement. Never rely solely on one device for navigating.
USE CARE
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the U.S. Government, which is solely
responsible for the accuracy and maintenance of the GPS network.The accuracy of position
fixes can be affected by the periodic adjustments to GPS satellites made by the U.S.
government and is subject to change in accordance with the Department of Defense civil GPS
user policy and the Federal Radionavigation Plan. Accuracy can also be affected by poor
satellite geometry and obstructions, like buildings and large trees.
USE PROPER ACCESSORIES
Use only Magellan cables and antennas; the use of non-Magellan cables and antennas may
severely degrade performance or damage the receiver, and will void the warranty.
