Attaching the Magellan RoadMate receiver to the Car Cradle

Slide the Magellan RoadMate receiver on the car cradle so that the slot on the 
Magellan RoadMate receiver aligns with the tab on the car cradle.  Slide the 
Magellan RoadMate receiver all the way down until it rests on the 'feet'. You should 
notice a click when the receiver is fully mounted in the cradle.

Adjusting the Mount for Optimum Viewing

Loosen the adjustment locking knobs and position the Magellan RoadMate receiver 
for optimum viewing. Once set, tighten the locking knobs. (Never attempt to adjust 
the mount while driving.)

Connecting Power

Plug the end of the vehicle power adapter into a 12VDC vehicle power 
receptacle. Connect the other end of the cable to the Magellan RoadMate 
receiver's power connector as shown.

Note: 

Some vehicles apply power to the vehicle power receptacle only 

when the ignition is on.

Routing the Cable

Route the cable behind the Magellan RoadMate receiver as shown.  Lock the cable into the cable retainer. 

Checking Connection and Final Adjustments

If the power indicator light on the vehicle power adaptor is on, power is being supplied to the Magellan RoadMate 
receiver. 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.

Slide the power switch (located at the top right side of the Magellan RoadMate receiver) to the left.  Sit in a 
normal driving position and make any final adjustments to the car cradle for optimum viewing. Make sure the 
adjusting knobs on the car cradle are firmly in place.

Slide the power switch again to the right to turn the Magellan RoadMate receiver off and turn the ignition switch 
of the vehicle to off. The Magellan RoadMate receiver is connected and ready for use.
