An adhesive disk is supplied with the Magellan receiver for use as an
alternate mounting solution to the dashboard.
•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 receiver only when the vehicle
is stopped. Only avehicle passenger should enter data or
program the receiver while the vehicle
is moving.
•It
is your responsibility to comply with all traffic laws.
Every attempt is made to ensure that the database is accurate. However, roadways, points of interest (POls), and business and
service locations may change over time. The database does not include, analyze, process, consider,
or reflect any of the
following: legal restrictions (such
as vehicular type, weight, height, width, load and speed restrictions); road slope or grade;
bridge height, width, weight,
or other limits; population density; neighborhood quality or safety; availability or proximity of law
enforcement, 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 receiver safe from extreme temperature conditions.
For example, do not leave it exposed to direct sunlight for an
extended period of time. The maximum operating temperature is 140°F (60°C).
•
Take care when mounting the receiver in your vehicle, whether using the windshield mount or other mount or accessories, 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 ahazard to occupants of the vehicle should the receiver
be dislodged while driving. You assume the risks associated
with damage to your vehicle or vehicle occupants
as the result of your choices in mounting the receiver.

QuickSpell™
As more letters are entered, the keyboard
active characters change indicating which
characters can
be used to spell the city or
street. Here only the
A, D, I, L, or 0could
be used to enter astreet for the city
chosen.
This speeds up entering
an address greatly and
avoids misspelling the word
you are trying to enter. Tapping on the checkmark will bring
up a
list of the cities or streets that begin with the letters you've entered. When the
available cities or streets is short, the receiver will automatically switch to the list, display-
ing those items
that begin with the letters you've entered.
In this example, auser in San Dimas has entered
"SAN F" and the receiver has chosen "SAN
FERNANDO, CA"
as the probable city. Had the
user been
in Oakland, CA, the receiver would be
displaying SAN FRANCISCO, CA.
If you tap on the city at the top of the display or on
the green checkmark, it is selected as your destina-
tion
city and you are then required to enter the
street.
Tap on LIST when the button is active to bring up the list of cities beginning with
the characters you've entered. (Note
that if the number of cities that begin with the
characters you've entered
is short, the list is automatically displayed.
When entering
an address only those
characters
that can be used to spell the
city or street are shown as active. Note
that here there are no streets for the city
chosen that beginwith Q, X, or Zand are
grayed out.
Smart City Search
Another way the Magellan receiver makes
entering an address easy is through the
use of Smart City Search. The Magellan
receiver uses your location as well as
cities you've created routes to before to
try to figure out the city you are looking
for. As you enter characters, the
'computed' city
is displayed at the top of
the screen.
Your Magellan receiver uses afeature
known as QuickSpel1 for entering cities
and streets whenever possible. Quick-
Spell displays only
those keys that could
be used to enter acity or address that is
in the receiver's memory. For example,
in the screen shown here for street entry,
only the letters that spell astreet are
displayed. This greatly reduces the
chance for errors as well as to speed up
the address entry process.
QuickSpell™

Home
Use the Magellan receiver to quickly
return to your home address
no matter
how lost
you thought you were. When
you first install your Magellan receiver
you should set your home address on the
OneTouch menu
so it is there whenever
you need it. You have the option of
entering your home address
or, if you are
in your vehicle and the Magellan receiver
is computing aposition fix, you can
assign your current location
as your
home. After following these steps and
tapping the green checkmark, the
address
is saved and designated as your
Home address. Next
time you access the
Home icon
you can set aroute to your
home.
Home Address
Map Updates
On some occasions you may find that you
cannot enter the name of the street you
desire. This is due to the street not being
in the receiver's memory. Most likely
this
is anew street and wasn't included at the
time of production. If this occurs you
may want to visit the Magellan web site
(www.magellangps.com) and check for a
map update.
In the meanwhile, you can
set your home
as your current location.
Map updates usually come out yearly and
can
be purchased directly from the
Magellan web site.
