Installation Instructions
Installation of the Magellan RoadMate receiver 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 receiver in a place where it can be easily seen and will not interfere with
your view of the road.
The Magellan RoadMate receiver 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.
Make sure that the Magellan RoadMate receiver or any cabling will not be disturbed if the airbags are
activated.
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 have laws restricting
the mounting of any device on the windshield.
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.
Using the Adhesive Disk
If you plan on using the adhesive disk, you will first need to attach it to the dashboard and allow it to cure for 24
hours before continuing. Find a smooth, flat surface and clean it using the alcohol pad supplied.
Remove the protective tape from the back of the adhesive disk. Apply the disk with the adhesive side towards the
dashboard. Maintain pressure on the disk for 5 minutes to allow it to set in place. Allow the disk 24 hours to cure
before continuing.
Securing the Car Cradle to the Windshield or Adhesive Disk
Use the alcohol pad that came with the Magellan RoadMate receiver to clean the area on the windshield that has
been selected for mounting the Magellan RoadMate receiver. Let the area dry completely.
Make sure that the lever at the base of the adjustable mount is in the up
position. Place the base of the car cradle firmly over the area of the
windshield or adhesive disk to be used. Push the lever at the base of the
swivel mount all the way down until it snaps in place. Carefully let go of the
assembly, making sure that it is securely mounted.
(The Car Cradle shown here may be different from the Car Cradle supplied
with your Magellan RoadMate receiver, but the installation is the same for all
cradle styles.)
