The Magellan RoadMate receiver is a vehiclenavigation 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.
Keep the Magellan RoadMate receiver 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
RoadMate receiver in your vehicle, whether
using the windshield mount or other mounts,
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.
It is your responsibility to assess the risks
associated with damage to your vehicle or
vehicle occupants as the result of your choices
in mounting the Magellan RoadMate receiver.
Temperature
The maximum operating temperature is 140°F
(60°C).
Battery
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 database may contain
inaccuracy. Also, the database does not
include, analyse, process, consider, or
reflect any of the following: legal restrictions
(such as vehicle type, weight, height, width,
load and speed restrictions); road slope or
gradient; bridge height, width, weight or other
limits; population density; neighborhood
quality or safety; availability or proximity of
police, 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.
The battery in the Magellan RoadMate receiver
is rechargeable and should not be removed. In
the event that it should need to be replaced,
please contact Magellan Technical Support.
Charging the Magellan RoadMate
An optional AC adapter is available as an
accessory for your Magellan RoadMate. Use
of another type of AC adapter can result in
malfunction and/or possible fire hazard due to
battery overheating.
Only use the car charger approved for/supplied
with your Magellan RoadMate receiver. Use of
another type of car charger will result in fire or
electric shock.
For safety reasons, the battery in your
Magellan RoadMate receiver will stop charging
when the ambient temperature is less than
32°F (0°C) or more than 113°F (45°C).
It will take approximately 4 hours of charging
the Magellan RoadMate receiver through
the vehicle power adapter or optional AC
adapter to obtain a full battery charge. It is
recommended that you charge the battery
initially for at least 2 hours.
Use only the charger approved for your
Magellan RoadMate receiver.
Estimated usage of the Magellan RoadMate on
battery power is approximately 2 hours.

Magellan RoadMate GPS 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™ menu for fast, convenient access
to favorite 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™ and Smart City search for easy,
errorless 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.
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.
