Safety Notice
IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS
The N476 receiver is a vehicle-navigation aid designed to assist you in arriving at your selected
destinations. When using the N476 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 N476 receiver only when the vehicle is
stationary. Only a vehicle passenger should enter data or program the N476 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 N476 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 N476 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 N476 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 N476
receiver.

Temperature
The maximum operating temperature is 140°F (60°C).
Battery
The battery in the N476 receiver is rechargeable and should not be removed. In the event that
it should need to be replaced, please contact Magellan Technical Support.
Charging the N476
An optional AC adapter is available as an accessory for your N476. Use of another type of AC
adapter can result in malfunction and/or possible fire hazard due to battery overheating.
Only use the car charger approved for/supplied with your N476 receiver. Use of another type
of car charger will result in fire or electric shock.
For safety reasons, the battery in your N476 receiver will stop charging when the ambient
temperature is less than 32°F (0°C) or more than 113°F (45°C).
It will take approximately 4 hours of charging the N476 receiver through the vehicle power
adapter or optional AC adapter to obtain a full battery charge. It is recommended that you
charge the battery initially for at least 2 hours.
Use only the charger approved for your N476 receiver.
Estimated usage of the N476 on battery power is approximately 2 hours.

About street names:
If you can’t find a street, try including the direction,
as N, S, etc.
For example, “Cataract” will find a lot of other places
before it finds “N. Cataract”.
About City Names:
• City name is part of the address. You shouldn’t
enter it seperately, unless that’s all you want.
If you search on a city name, you will get a list of
cities with that name, likely in multiple states.
• If the city you want is listed, tap it for directions
to the City Center.
Searching for POIs
The SmartFind screen lets you search for POIs near
your location, at another location, or relative to an
active route.
The buttons above the keyboard provide easy access
to POIs in many categories. You can scroll the list
sideways with your finger to see all the categories.
You can also search for a POI by name.
Tapping on one of the category buttons will add
that category to the search input. You can select a
sub-category (if available) and add it.
With a category selected, you can search, or add
information to limit the search.

My Places
My Places
My Places can be best described as the place where all of the saved destinations and routes are
stored. There are four separate sections to My Places, each one with its own distinct purpose.
Address Book The Address Book stores contacts, places and trips that you
have saved. These can be used as destinations in a route or
accessed using Bluetooth to place a call.
Wish List The Wish List are those places you found interesting and
thought that you might want to go to at some point.
Recent Anytime you create a route, the destination is saved into your
Recent places list. Handy for when you want to create a route
to some place you recently went to.
OneTouch OneTouch is a customizable menu to hold destinations that
you regularly use.
Address Book
The Address Book can hold places, contacts and trips. These are all user-entered and can easily be
accessed at any time to create a route.
Places Each place stores an address and has a name. Once stored,
the name can be edited but the address can’t.
Places is designed to hold locations that you commonly go
to or need to reference while driving. This could be anything
from your local Starbucks to a historical landmark. Think of
places as your own personalized POIs (points of interest).
Contacts Each contact has a name and stores places and numbers.
Contacts can be people, businesses, or any other thing that
needs to have more than one piece of information attached,
Each contact can have one or more addresses and can also
have one or more phone numbers. These might be home
address, home number, work address, work number, etc.
Trips Trips contain one or several places as a route.
You can create a trip (route) one in advance or save a route
while it is active. When you save a route, it includes the end
point and any intermediate points.
These can also be synchronized with the smarteco site.
(www.smartgpseco.com, requires a free account for saving and syncing data.)
