Installation Instructions Installation of the Magellan RoadMate is simple and easy. The hardest part will be picking the best location. Selecting the Location A few tips on selecting the proper location. • Mount the Magellan RoadMate in a place where it can be easily seen and will not interfere with your view of the road. • The Magellan RoadMate should be mounted in such a way that the antenna, (located in the top of the receiver), has an unobstructed view of the sky through the windshield. • Select whether it will be mounted using the adjustable mount to the windshield or an adhesive disk. Be sure to check your local and regional laws before mounting to the windshield. Some states, like California and Minnesota, have laws restricting the mounting of any device on the windshield. (Adhesive Disks are available from the Magellan Store at www.magellanGPS.com if one was not supplied with the Magellan RoadMate.) • If planning to use the adhesive disk, a smooth surface on the dash board will need to be selected. Do not attach the adhesive disk to the windshield nor airbag covers. • Make sure that the Magellan RoadMate nor any cabling will be disturbed in the event that the airbags are deployed. Items Needed (no tools required) Swivel Mount Vehicle Power Cable Cradle Adhesive Disk (optional) Magellan RoadMate Alcohol Pad Please note that the swivel mount supplied with the Magellan RoadMate may be different then the one shown in this document.
