IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS
The Magellan RoadMate receiver is a vehicle-navigation aid designed to assist you in arriving at your selected
destinations. When using the Magellan RoadMate receiver, these safety rules must be followed to prevent
accidents that can result in injury or death to yourself or others:
• Please check the applicable regulations in your state regarding windshield mounting. Certain states
prohibit the mounting of any items on your windshield. Go to www.magellanGPS.com for alternative
mounting solutions.
• 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 RoadMate receiver only when the vehicle is
stationary. Only a vehicle passenger should enter data or program the Magellan RoadMate receiver while
the vehicle is moving. Do not become distracted by the receiver while driving, and always be fully aware of
all driving conditions.
• It is your responsibility to comply with all traffic laws and to use the Magellan RoadMate and mounting
options in such a manner that the user is in compliance with applicable laws.
• Roads, points of interest (POIs), business and service locations may change over time. As a result the

Magellan RoadMate Receiver
The Magellan® RoadMate® receiver is a vehicle navigation product that utilizes GPS signals from satellites to
calculate your precise location and compute navigational information that can be used to guide you to your
destination. Knowing its position and movement, it can then overlay this information on detailed maps to provide
a visual representation of your location.
With the Magellan RoadMate receiver you can:
™
• Save searches and addresses under the OneTouch
destinations.
• Store your home address and quickly get routing details to your home.
• Enter 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 QuickSpell
address entry.
• Route to any point of interest (POI) that has been preloaded into your Magellan RoadMate receiver.
• Create a route with multiple destinations. Handy for business people who need routing information to many
destinations.
• View POIs that are near exits ahead of you on the highway. The Highway Exit POIs function provides you
with a list of gas stations, restaurants, hotels and auto repair shops located nearby exits you are
approaching while travelling on the interstate.
• Customize your Magellan RoadMate receiver to meet your needs using the Settings menu.
menu for fast, convenient access to favorite
™
and Smart City search for easy, errorless
• Receive traffic information so as to avoid delays in your travel.
The user interface for the Magellan RoadMate receiver 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 makes
it easy for you to access the function you are trying to use and follow the steps provided.
The Magellan RoadMate receiver 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 the Magellan RoadMate receiver to
the AC power using an optional AC power adapter. You should note that while indoors you may not get strong
enough satellite signals to compute your location, so your location information may not be updated. However, the
power of the GPS chipset installed in the Magellan RoadMate receiver will pick up satellite signals in some very
demanding locations. You may find that the Magellan RoadMate receiver is computing a position, even indoors.
Even with the improved GPS chipset, the receiver may not be able to always compute a fix indoors. This is
especially important to note if you are in a garage or other overhanging structure. If you find you are not getting
strong enough satellite signals while in a garage or other structure, move to a location where there is a clear view
of the sky and you should immediately see an improvement in signal strength.
The Magellan RoadMate receiver includes Voice Alerts (Text-to-Speech) for driving instructions.
This document is set up to be printed on 8.5" x 11" paper should you desire a printed version for your reference.

Installation Instructions
Installation of the Magellan RoadMate receiver 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 RoadMate receiver in a place where it can be easily seen and will not interfere with
your view of the road.
• The Magellan RoadMate receiver 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.
• Make sure that the Magellan RoadMate receiver or any cabling will not be disturbed if the airbags are
activated.
• Be sure to check your local and regional laws before mounting to the windshield. Some states have laws
restricting the mounting of any device on the windshield.
Securing the Car Cradle
Clean the area on the windshield that has been selected for mounting the Magellan RoadMate receiver. Let the
area dry completely.
Skip this step if you want to be able to remove the receiver for security reasons. However if you plan on
permanently attaching the receiver in the mount, use the two small 5.5mm x 10mm screws to secure the cradle
to the receiver.
Use the four 7mm x 12mm screws to attach the pivot plate to the cradle.
(The DB-9 connector is not used unless you have an optional fleet management device.)
Attaching the Magellan RoadMate receiver 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.
3
Connecting Power
Attach the USB end of the power adapter cable and the other end to a vehicle 12vdc receptacle.
Note: Some vehicles apply power to the vehicle power receptacle only when the ignition is on.
Checking Connection and Final Adjustments
If the power indicator light on the vehicle power adaptor is on, power is being supplied to the Magellan RoadMate
receiver. If it is not on, check the cable connection to the vehicle power receptacle. If the light is still not on, turn
the vehicle's ignition on.
Power Switch
Press and hold the power button 2 - 3 seconds to turn the receiver on or off. Press and hold the power button for
more then 5 seconds to reset the receiver should you have a problem with the receiver and are instructed to
reset the receiver.
Security
It is recommended that the Magellan RoadMate receiver is not left in plain view while unattended for reasons of
theft.
Please note that the Magellan RoadMate receiver is a receiver only and does not transmit GPS location signals.
Neither the receiver nor the vehicle can be tracked using the Magellan RoadMate receiver.
