IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS
Magellan RoadMate 6220T-LM
Tested To Comply
With FCC Standards
FOR HOME OR OFFICE USE
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 database may contain inaccuracy. Also, the database does not include, analyze, 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.
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).

RoadMate User Manual Page ii
another type of AC adapter can result in malfunction and/or possible fire hazard due to battery
overheating.
Use only 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

1 Magellan RoadMate GPS Receiver with DVR
The Magellan® RoadMate® receiver is a
vehicle navigation product with Digital Video
Recorder (DVR) functionality.
It uses GPS signals from satellites to
calculate your precise location and compute
navigational information.
The DVR records continuous video, audio,
location, and other information. The video
provides an impartial witness in case of need.
The RoadMate uses its position and
movement to 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 and
searches.
• 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.
• Save location information to create a map
later of the places you went.
• Save all or part of the video for later
viewing.
• Customize your Magellan RoadMate
receiver to meet your needs using the
Settings menu.
The user interface for the Magellan RoadMate
receiver is intended to be easy and simple to
follow.
The Magellan RoadMate receiver has a builtin 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
an external power source. Note that a fully
charged Magellan RoadMate only has about
60 minutes of battery life. If you need or wish
to use external power, you can use an optional
AC power adapter.
While the Magellan RoadMate has a powerful
GPS chipset, you may not get strong enough
satellite signals to compute your location when
indoors or in a parking garage. 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.
• 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 near exits you
are approaching while travelling on the
interstate.
