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.
