IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS

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

• California and Minnesota law prohibits mounting any item to your windshield. Please check with your state or local law enforcement for applicable regulations regarding windshield mounting. Go to www.magellanGPS.com for alternate mounting solutions. An adhesive disk is supplied with the Magellan RoadMate for use as an alternate mounting solution to the dashboard.

• 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 Maestro only when the vehicle is stopped. Only a vehicle passenger should enter data or program the Magellan Maestro 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; traffic congestion. It is your responsibility to disregard any unsafe, hazardous, or illegal route suggestions.

• Keep the Magellan Maestro 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 Maestro 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 Magellan Maestro be dislodged while driving.

Magellan Maestro 4050

The Magellan Maestro 4050 is a vehicle navigation product that utilizes GPS signals from satellites to calculate your precise location and compute details about its travel. Knowing its position and

movement, it can then overlay this information on detailed maps provided by NAVTEQ visual representation of your location.

With the Magellan Maestro 4050 you can:

• Store your home address and quickly get routing details to your home.

• Create and save addresses in your address book that can be accessed at any time and get routing information to that address.

• Route to an address that you enter using the keypad and Magellan’s QuickSpell feature for easy, errorless entry.

• Route to any point of interest (POI) that has been preloaded into your Magellan Maestro. (Custom POIs can also be created and uploaded using the POI Manager software supplied on the included CD-ROM.)

• Route to a POI that appears on the map while traveling simply by tapping on the POI icon.

• Route to an intersection by selecting the streets.

operation, information about the POI and other valuable facts,

• AAA Roadside Assistance for quick and easy access to information about your location to assist in getting AAA services to your location.

• A trip planner to create a trip with multiple destinations. Handy for business people who need routing information to many destinations.

• An exit POI tool that provides you with a list of gas stations, restaurants, hotels and auto repair shops located nearby exits you are approaching that you can route to while traveling on a freeway.

• Operate the Magellan Maestro using voice commands for hands-free operation.

• Pair your Bluetooth-enabled phone to the Magellan Maestro for a complete navigation/ communication package.

The interface for the Magellan Maestro is easy and simple to follow once you understand the basics. You may never need to refer to this manual but if you do we have tried to present it in a form that you can access the function you are trying to complete and follow the steps provided.

The Magellan Maestro 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 it in to AC power. You should note that while indoors you may not get any satellite signals so your location information would not be updated. However, the power of the SiRFstarIII™ chipset installed in the Magellan Maestro will get satellite signals in some very rough locations so you may notice the Magellan Maestro computing a position, even indoors.

This document is set up to be printed on 8.5” x 11” (letter) paper should you desire a printed version for your reference.

Installation Instructions

Installation of the Magellan Maestro is simple and easy. The hardest part will be picking the best location.

Selecting the Location

A few tips on selecting the proper location.

• Mount the Magellan Maestro in a place where it can be easily seen and will not interfere with your view of the road.

• The Magellan Maestro should be mounted in such a way that the antenna, (located in the top of the receiver), has an unobstructed view of the sky through the windshield.

• Select whether it will be mounted using the adjustable mount to the windshield or the supplied adhesive disk. Be sure to check your local and regional laws before mounting to the windshield. Some states, like California and Minnesota, have laws restricting the mounting of any device on the windshield.

• If planning to use the adhesive disk, a smooth surface on the dash board will need to be selected. Do not attach the adhesive disk to the windshield.

• Make sure that the Magellan Maestro or any cabling will not be disturbed in the event that the airbags are deployed.

Cleaning the Area

Use the alcohol pad that came with the Magellan Maestro to clean the area on the windshield or dash that has been selected for mounting the Magellan Maestro.

Applying the Adhesive Disk

(Skip if mounting directly to the windshield.) Remove the protective tape from the back of the adhesive disk. Apply the disk with the adhesive side towards the dash. Maintain pressure on the disk for 5 minutes to allow it to set in place. Allow the disk 24 hours to cure before continuing.

Attach the Cradle

Line up the two mounting tabs on the cradle with the mounting slots on the bottom of the Magellan Maestro. Press the back of the cradle until it snaps in place with the back of the receiver.

Please note that the mounting bracket supplied with the Magellan Maestro may be different then the one shown in this document.

Installation 3

Attach the Adjustable Mount

Line up the two tabs on the adjustable mount with the holes on the back of the cradle. Once the adjustable mount is flush with the cradle, push the cradle and receiver assembly down until they lock in place with the adjustable mount.

Secure the Mount to the Windshield or Adhesive Disk

Make sure that the lever at the base of the adjustable mount is in the up position. Place the base of the mount firmly over the area of the windshield to be used or the adhesive disk. Push the lever at the base of the mount all the way down until it snaps in place. Carefully let go of the assembly, making sure that it is securely mounted.

Adjust the Mount for Optimum Viewing

Loosen the adjustment locking knobs and position the Magellan Maestro for optimum viewing. Once set, tighten the locking knobs. (Never attempt to adjust the mount while driving.)

Connecting Power

Plug the end of the cigarette lighter adapter into a 12 VDC cigarette lighter receptacle in the vehicle. Connect the other end to the Magellan Maestro as shown. There is a wire catch on the side of the cradle to run the power cable through to prevent it from disconnecting. If there is power at the receptacle, the Magellan Maestro will power on. (Note: some vehicles apply power to the cigarette lighter receptacle only when the ignition is on.)

Security

It is recommended that the Magellan Maestro is not left in plain view while unattended for reasons of theft. The easiest method for removing the Magellan Maestro once the mount is in place is to unsnap it from the cradle by pressing on the tab at the top of the cradle.

QuickSpell™

QuickSpell uses the information in the database to limit the keys that can be pressed to present only those which can access information in the database.

For example, if you are looking for Los Angeles. As you ‘type’ in the name Los Angeles, only keys that can spell a city in the database are shown. In the screen to the right, ‘LOS “ has been entered. Keys that would not continue to spell a city in the database are grayed out..

This is done to enable the city and street names to be entered quickly and without any errors due to typos.

Notes on Entering Data

If you are having trouble getting the results you expected here are a few useful tips.

• Make sure that you have spelled the name correctly. If you are unsure of the spelling, just enter a few characters and tap “OK”. A long list of names will be displayed but you can step through the list and probably be able to find the correct spelling.

• Check for apostrophes. If searching a for Lowe’s Home Improvent Center you need to enter the apostrophe. Entering ‘LOWES’ without the apostrophe will not display what you are searching for.

• When entering a street name you can use the street prefix (N. E. W. S. etc.) to narrow the search. For example to find N. Main St. you could enter “N. Main” or “N Main”.

• The more characters you enter, the smaller the list of POIs found will be.
