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, 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.
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
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.

Introduction
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™ 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.
• Access Good Neighbor Sam RV Parks and Services information.
• 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.
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.
