This Magellan device is a GPS navigator and recording device designed to assist you in navigation, 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 or to www.rammount.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.

3. PURCHASER’S DUTIES
For repair or replacement on a Magellan product the purchaser must obtain a Return Materials Authorization (RMA)
number from Magellan Technical Support or by submitting a repair request through our website at www.magellanGPS.
com, prior to shipping. The purchaser must return the product postpaid with a copy of the original sales receipt,
purchaser’s return address and the RMA number clearly printed on the outside of the package to the Authorized Magellan
Service Center address provided by Magellan with the RMA number. Magellan reserves the right to refuse to provide
service free-of-charge if the sales receipt is not provided or if the information contained in it is incomplete or illegible or if
the serial number has been altered or removed. Magellan will not be responsible for any losses or damage to the product
incurred while the product is in transit or is being shipped for repair. Insurance is recommended. Magellan recommends
the use of a trackable shipping method such as UPS or FedEx when returning a product for service.
4. LIMITATION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES
Except as set forth in item 1 above, all other expressed or implied warranties, including those of fitness for any particular
purpose or merchantability, are hereby disclaimed AND IF APPLICABLE, IMPLIED WARRANTIES UNDER ARTICLE 35 OF
THE UNITED NATIONS CONVENTION ON CONTRACTS FOR THE INTERNATIONAL SALE OF GOODS. Some national, state,
or local laws do not allow limitations on implied warranty on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation
may not apply to you.
5. EXCLUSIONS
The following are excluded from the warranty coverage:
(a) periodic maintenance and repair or replacement of parts due to normal wear and tear;
(b) batteries;
(c) finishes;
(d) installations or defects resulting from installation;
(e) any damage caused by (i) shipping, misuse, abuse, negligence, tampering, moisture, liquids, proximity or exposure to

(g) any product, components or parts not manufactured by Magellan,
(h) that the receiver will be free from any claim for infringement of any patent, trademark, copyright or
other proprietary right, including trade secrets
(i) any damage due to accident, resulting from inaccurate satellite transmissions. Inaccurate transmis-
sions can occur due to changes in the position, health or geometry of a satellite or modifications to the
receiver that may be required due to any change in the GPS.
(Note: Magellan GPS receivers use GPS or GPS+GLONASS to obtain position, velocity and time
information. GPS is operated by the U.S. Government and GLONASS is the Global Navigation Satellite
System of the Russian Federation, which are solely responsible for the accuracy and maintenance
of their systems. Certain conditions can cause inaccuracies which could require modifications to the
receiver. Examples of such conditions include but are not limited to changes in the GPS or GLONASS
transmission.).
