InstallationChoose a Location. The Magellan RoadMate receiver needs a clear view of the sky to receive signals from the GPS satellites so choose a location with an unobstructed view of the sky, commonly on or near the windshield. The instructions here describe mounting the receiver to the windshield, which is the most common use, but you can use any flat, smooth surface that the suction mount will attach to firmly. Be sure to check the mount after installation and verify that it won’t lose suction.Warning: Do not mount the receiver on or allow the power cable to pass over air bags.Connect Power. Connect the power cable to a vehicle power receptacle. The internal battery will begin charging as soon as power is supplied to the Magellan RoadMate receiver through the vehicle power cable. Note: Some vehicles require that the ignition be on before power is delivered to the power receptacle.Attach the USB connector to the cradle. Hold the cradle assembly firmly against a clean, dry surface and push lever towards the base. Attach the receiver. 605-0347-001 A.fm Page 4 Tuesday, March 15, 2011 2:51 PM
General InformationPlease refer to this handbook for questions on using the Magellan RoadMate receiver. If you are still unable to answer your questions, check our technical support web page at: http://www.magellanGPS.com/support/.Magellan RoadMatePowerPress the power switch (A) to turn the receiver on. Press the power switch to put the receiver into suspend mode. Press and hold the power switch for more than 3 seconds to turn the receiver completely off. (Turning the receiver completely off and then back on [Power Reset] can sometimes solve any problems encountered while using the receiver.)The first time you use the Magellan RoadMate it may take up to 4 minutes to compute your location under normal conditions. With adverse conditions (not having a clear view of the sky) the time to compute your location the first time can greatly increase. BatteryThe Magellan RoadMate receiver has an internal battery that is charged when it is being powered by the vehicle power cable or an external (optional) AC power adapter. It is estimated that a receiver can operate for 2 hours from a fully charged battery.To view the battery strength indicator, access the Main menu. The battery strength is shown below the signal strength indicator.A - Power SwitchB - Micro-SD slotC - Power Input(USB)ABC605-0347-001 A.fm Page 5 Tuesday, March 15, 2011 2:51 PM
It can take up to 4 hours to fully charge the battery, depending on the battery level. However, the battery does not need to be fully charged to use the Magellan RoadMate receiver.Satellite Signal StrengthTo view the satellite signal strength indicator, tap on the Menu button. The signal strength indicator can be found in the upper right corner.If you are not getting your current location, use these tips to improve satellite signal reception.Leave the garage or parking structure so the GPS receiver has a clear view of the sky.Satellite signals can be blocked by tall buildings, trees or mountains. You may intermittently see a drop in signal strength in these types of environments.Traffic NoticeYour Magellan RoadMate comes equipped with lifetime traffic but requires that you use the supplied vehicle power adapter to work. Traffic warnings will not appear if you are using a power adapter other than the one supplied or operating the receiver on internal batteries.Landscape or Portrait DisplayThe Magellan RoadMate can be used in landscape or portrait display mode.
