M-Nav 800 English
This Magellan receiver is a vehicle-navigation aid designed to
assist you in arriving to your selected destinations. When using
this Magellan product, these safety rules must be followed to
prevent accidents that can result in injury or death to yourself or
others:
• Please check with your state or local law enforcement for
applicable regulations regarding mounting to the windshield.
• 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 receiver only when the
vehicle is stopped. Only a vehicle passenger should enter
data or program the receiver 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 receiver safe from extreme temperature conditions.
For example, do not leave it exposed to direct sunlight for an
extended period of time. The maximum operating
temperature is 140°F (60°C).
• Take care when mounting the receiver 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 receiver be dislodged while driving.
You assume the risks associated with damage to your
vehicle or vehicle occupants as the result of your choices in
mounting the receiver.
• The battery is rechargeable and should not be removed.

Installation
Choose a Location. The Magellan RoadMate receiver needs a clear
view of the sky to receive signals from the GPS satellites so choose a
location with an unobstructed view of the sky, commonly on or near the
windshield.
Clean the Surface. Clean the area on the windshield and allow the
surface to dry before attaching the mount.
Attach the Car Cradle. Pivot the cradle up from the bottom of the
receiver. To permanently attached the receiver to the cradle use the two
small 5.5mm x 10mm screws to attach the cradle to the receiver. If you
want to be able remove the receiver for security purposes, do not use
the two screws to attach the cradle to the receiver. Use the four 7mm x
12mm screws to attach the pivot plate to the cradle.
Attach the Receiver Assembly to
the Mount. The ball end of the
mount snaps into the pivot plate that
was just attached. Use the tightening
ring to secure the receiver assembly
to the mount but do not tighten firmly
yet. After the entire assembly is
attached to the windshield you will
want to adjust the position of the
receiver for optimum viewing.
After the mount and the receiver are
assembled, place the suction cup of
the mount firmly against the area it is to be attached to and push the
mounting lever towards the base of the mount.
When the assembly is attached to the windshield, you can use the pivot
point on the arm of the mount or the pivot ring on the back of the cradle
to adjust the receiver for optimum viewing.
