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 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.

iii
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.
