The Magellan RoadMate is a vehicle-navigation aid designed to assist you in arriving to your selected destinations. When
using the Magellan RoadMate, these safety rules must be followed to prevent accidents that can result in injury or death to
yourself or others:
• California and Minnesota law prohibits mounting any item to your windshield. Please check with your state or local law
enforcement for applicable regulations regarding windshield mounting. Go to www.magellanGPS.com for alternate
mounting solutions. An adhesive disk is supplied with the Magellan RoadMate for use as an alternate mounting solution
to the dashboard.
• When driving, the need to view the display is minimal. The driver should enter data or program the Magellan RoadMate
only when the vehicle is stopped. Only a vehicle passenger should enter data or program the Magellan RoadMate 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. The database does not include, analyze, process, consider, or
reflect any of the following: legal restrictions (such as vehicular type, weight, height, width, load and speed restrictions);
road slope or grade; bridge height, width, weight, or other limits; population density; neighborhood quality or safety;
availability or proximity of law enforcement, emergency rescue, medical, or other assistance; construction work zones or
hazards; road or lane closures; road, traffic, or traffic facilities’ safety or condition; weather conditions; pavement
characteristics or conditions; special events; traffic congestion. It is your responsibility to disregard any unsafe,
hazardous, or illegal route suggestions.
• Keep the Magellan RoadMate safe from extreme temperature conditions. For example, do not leave it exposed to direct
sunlight for an extended period of time.
• Take care when mounting the Magellan RoadMate in your vehicle, whether using the windshield mount or other
mounting 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 Magellan RoadMate 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 Magellan RoadMate.
• The battery in the Magellan RoadMate is rechargeable and should not be removed. In the event it should need to be
replaced, please contact Magellan Technical Support.
