IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS

The Magellan RoadMate receiver is a vehicle-navigation aid designed to assist you in arriving at 
your selected destinations. When using the Magellan RoadMate receiver, these safety rules must be 
followed to prevent accidents that can result in injury or death to yourself or others:
Please check the applicable regulations in your state regarding windshield mounting. Certain 
states prohibit the mounting of any items on your windshield.  Go to www.magellanGPS.com for 
alternative mounting solutions.
When driving, the need to view the display is minimal. Voice prompts will guide you to your 
destination. The driver should enter data or program the Magellan RoadMate receiver only when 
the vehicle is stationary. Only a vehicle passenger should enter data or program the Magellan 
RoadMate receiver while the vehicle is moving.  Do not become distracted by the receiver while 
driving, and always be fully aware of all driving conditions.
It is your responsibility to comply with all traffic laws and to use the Magellan RoadMate and 
mounting options in such a manner that the user is in compliance with applicable laws.
Roads, points of interest (POIs), business and service locations may change over time. As a result 
the database may contain inaccuracy.  Also, the database does not include, analyse, process, 
consider, or reflect any of the following: legal restrictions (such as vehicle type, weight, height, 
width, load and speed restrictions); road slope or 
gradient; bridge height, width, weight or other limits; 
population density; neighborhood quality or safety; 
availability or proximity of police, 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 receiver 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 receiver in your vehicle, whether using the 
windshield mount or other mounts, 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 receiver be dislodged while driving. It is your responsibility to assess the 
risks associated with damage to your vehicle or vehicle occupants as the result of your choices in 
mounting the Magellan RoadMate receiver.
