Safety.
This Magellan device is a dashboard camera and recording device designed to assist you in recording videos, taking photos, and
managing the content stored on the device.
Please check with your state or local law enforcement for applicable regulations regarding mounting to the windshield. Go to the
Magellan store at magellanGPS.com for alternate mounting solutions.
The driver should enter data or program the Magellan receiver only when the vehicle is stopped. Only a vehicle passenger should enter
data or program the device 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 (POIs), and business and service
locations may change over time.
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 device 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 a hazard 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.
The battery is rechargeable and should not be removed. In the event it should need to be replaced, please contact Magellan Technical
Support at support.magellanGPS.com or 800-707-8871.
In some jurisdictions, audio recordings require the consent of all parties before you begin recording. It is your responsibility to know
and comply with applicable audio recording consent laws in your jurisdiction.

or their vehicles using this product. It is your responsibility to know and comply with applicable laws and rights to privacy in your
jurisdiction.
Before using the suction cup mount on your windshield, check the state and local laws and ordinances where you drive. Some state
laws prohibit or restrict drivers from using suction mounts on their windshields while operating motor vehicles.
