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.

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.

Attach the Power Cable to the Car Cradle

Attach the USB connector to the cradle as shown.  The 
USB connector will ‘snap’ in place when it is fully seated in 
the car cradle.

Securing the Car Cradle

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 where it will be placed. 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.)
