Safety Notice
IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS
The N476 receiver is a vehicle-navigation aid designed to assist you in arriving at your selected
destinations. When using the N476 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 N476 receiver only when the vehicle is
stationary. Only a vehicle passenger should enter data or program the N476 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 N476 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 N476 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 N476 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 N476
receiver.
