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.
