Connecting Power
Plug the end of the cigarette lighter adapter into a
12 VDC vehicle power receptacle. Connect the
other end of the cable to the Magellan RoadMate’s
USB connector as shown. If there is power at the
receptacle, the Magellan RoadMate will power on.
(Note: some vehicles apply power to the vehicle
power receptacle only when the ignition is on.)
Connect the FM Traffic Antenna connector (from
the vehicle power adapter cable) into the FM
antenna recepticle located above the power
connector.
Check Connection and Final Adjustments
If the power indicator light on the vehicle power cable connector is on, power is being supplied to the
Magellan RoadMate. If it is not on, check the cable connection to the vehicle power receptacle. If
the light is still not on, turn the vehicle’s ignition on.
Press the power button (located at the bottom right side of the RoadMate) and hold down for a few
seconds. The Magellan RoadMate will power on. Sit in a normal driving position and make any final
adjustments to the swivel mount for optimum viewing. Tighten the adjusting knobs on the swivel
mount to hold the Magellan RoadMate firmly in place.
Press the power button again to turn the Magellan RoadMate off and turn the ignition switch to the
vehicle to off. The Magellan RoadMate is connected and ready for use.
Security
It is recommended that the Magellan RoadMate is not left in plain view while unattended for reasons
of theft.
Please note that the Magellan RoadMate is a receiver only and does not transmit GPS location
signals. The receiver nor the vehicle can be tracked using the Magellan RoadMate.
Region
By default, the Magellan RoadMate has the region setting for the lower 48 United States. When the
receiver is turned on for the first time it may ask you to assign regions. Select the map region you
want to use by tapping on the item from the list.
If you are travelling in other regions you will need to change the map region by using the following
steps.
1 From the Main Menu, tap on the right arrow to access the second page of the Main Menu.
2Tap on User Options.
3Tap on Region.
4 Tap on the map region desired.
The Region option will display the map regions that are available for the Magellan RoadMate you are
using.
