Magellan Maestro 4350 1Magellan Maestro 4350The Magellan Maestro 4350 is a vehicle navigation product that utilizes GPS signals from satellites to calculate your precise location and compute details about its travel. Knowing its position and movement, it can then overlay this information on detailed maps provided by NAVTEQ® to provide a visual representation of your location.With the Magellan Maestro 4350 you can:• Store your home address and quickly get routing details to your home.• Create and save addresses in your address book that can be accessed at any time and get routing information to that address.• Route to an address that you enter using the keypad and Magellan’s QuickSpell feature for easy, errorless entry.• Route to any point of interest (POI) that has been preloaded into your Magellan Maestro. • Route to a POI that appears on the map while traveling simply by tapping on the POI icon.• Route to an intersection by selecting the streets.• Create a trip with multiple destinations using the trip planner. Handy for business people who need routing information to many destinations.• View POIs that are ahead of you on the freeway. The exit POI function provides you with a list of gas stations, restaurants, hotels and auto repair shops located nearby exits you are approaching while traveling on a freeway.• Customize your Magellan Maestro to meet your needs using the User Options menu.• Use the AAA TourBook® to select a destination and get routing details to travel by. The AAA TourBook® also includes ratings, discount information for AAA members, hours of operation, information about the POI and other valuable facts. • Access AAA Roadside Assistance for quick and easy access to information about your location to assist in getting AAA services to your location.• Use the voice command and control to operate the Magellan Maestro hands-free.• Connect a BlueTooth-enabled cell phone for hands-free phone calls.The interface for the Magellan Maestro is easy and simple to follow once you understand the basics. You may never need to refer to this manual but if you do we have tried to present it in a form that you can access the function you are trying to complete and follow the steps provided.The Magellan Maestro has a built-in battery so in most cases you will be able to follow these instructions while reading them on your computer screen without plugging the Maestro to AC power. You should note that while indoors you may not get any satellite signals so your location information would not be updated. However, the power of the SiRFstarIII™ chipset installed in the Magellan Maestro will get satellite signals in some very rough locations so you may notice the Magellan Maestro computing a position, even indoors.This document is set up to be printed on 8.5” x 11” (letter) paper should you desire a printed version for your reference.

Installation 3Installation InstructionsInstallation of the Magellan Maestro is simple and easy. The hardest part will be picking the best location.Selecting the LocationA few tips on selecting the proper location.• Mount the Magellan Maestro in a place where it can be easily seen and will not interfere with your view of the road.• The Magellan Maestro 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.• Select whether it will be mounted using the adjustable mount to the windshield or the supplied adhesive disk. Be sure to check your local and regional laws before mounting to the windshield. Some states, like California and Minnesota, have laws restricting the mounting of any device on the windshield.• If planning to use the adhesive disk, a smooth surface on the dash board will need to be selected. Do not attach the adhesive disk to the windshield.• Make sure that the Magellan Maestro or any cabling will not be disturbed in the event that the airbags are deployed.Cleaning the Area Use the alcohol pad that came with the Magellan Maestro to clean the area on the windshield or dash that has been selected for mounting the Magellan Maestro. Let the area dry completely.Applying the Adhesive Disk(Skip if mounting directly to the windshield.) Remove the protective tape from the back of the adhesive disk. Apply the disk with the adhesive side towards the dash. Maintain pressure on the disk for 5 minutes to allow it to set in place. Allow the disk 24 hours to cure before continuing.Attach the CradleAlign the tabs on the cradle to the indents on the bottom of the Magellan Maestro. Swivel the cradle up so that it is flush against the back of the receiver and snaps into place.Please note that the mounting bracket supplied with the Magellan Maestro may be different then the one shown in this document.
Installation 4Adjustable MountLine up the two tabs on the adjustable mount with the holes on the back of the Magellan Maestro. Once the adjustable mount is flush with the Magellan Maestro, push the receiver down until it locks in place with the adjustable mount.Secure the Mount to the Windshield or Adhesive DiskMake sure that the lever at the base of the adjustable mount is in the up position. Place the base of the mount firmly over the area of the windshield to be used or the adhesive disk. Push the lever at the base of the mount all the way down until it snaps in place. Carefully let go of the assembly, making sure that it is securely mounted.Adjust the Mount for Optimum ViewingLoosen the adjustment locking knobs and position the Magellan Maestro for optimum viewing. Once set, tighten the locking knobs. (Never attempt to adjust the mount while driving.) Connecting Power and FM AntennaPlug the end of the vehicle power adapter into a 12 VDC vehicle power receptacle in the vehicle. Connect the other end to the Magellan Maestro’s USB connector as shown. If there is power at the receptacle, the Magellan Maestro will power on. (Note: some vehicles apply power to the vehicle power receptacle only when the ignition is on.)Connect the FM Traffic Antenna connector (from the vehicle power adapter into the FM antenna recepticle.SecurityIt is recommended that the Magellan Maestro is not left in plain view while unattended for reasons of theft.

Voice Control 54Voice ControlThe Magellan Maestro includes voice control software for many of the most commonly used commands. This provides hands-free operation of the Magellan Maestro for most of the functions you will use on a daily basis.Activating Voice ControlTo place the Magellan Maestro in a ‘listening’ mode for voice commands, you need to first ‘wake up’ the voice control software by speaking the attention word “Magellan”. Upon waking up the Magellan Maestro, the Say a Command screen is displayed. This is a list of available commands that can be used for reference. The command you want to use does not need to be displayed, this list is for easy reference only.1. Speak “Magellan”.2. Speak the command.Speaking “Previous” or “Next” scrolls the list up and down.After speaking the command, additional screens may be displayed that also can be voice controlled.Sample Nearest Restaurant1. Speak “Magellan”.2. Speak “Nearest Restaurant”.Command List
Voice Control 553. Speak “Chinese Food”.Speak the number of the item in the list to select it. Speak “Previous” or “Next” to scroll up and down the list of items.Say the number of the restaurant you want to go to and the Magellan Maestro will begin calculating the route to the chosen destination.Say a Command’ ChoicesThe followning is a list of common commands that can be spoken after saying the wake up word “Magellan.” • “Roadside Assistance”• “Where am I?” or “Current Location”•“Go Home”• “Nearest Restaurant”•“Nearest Gas”•“Nearest ATM”•“Nearest Bank”• “Nearest Coffee”•“Reroute”• “Distance to Destination”Restaurants have a shortcut that will skip the cusine screen shown in the sample. Instead of saying “Nearest Restaurant”, say “Nearest Chinese Restaurant”.Tips on Speaking Voice CommandsNo response to commands - If the navigation unit is not responding to your commands, first try relocating the Magellan Maestro so the microphone is closer and/or pointed towards you. Remember to speak in a normal, natural voice. Wind noise and talk radio stations can “confuse” the voice recognition software, so turn off the radio and roll up your windows.•Avoid speaking too soon. The most common speech recognition problem people have is answering a question before the navigator has stopped speaking. The speech input circuits are inactive while the navigator is outputting speech. To avoid this problem, wait for at least one half second before answering a navigator question.•Turn down the radio, especially when listening to talk radio stations.•Avoid speaking a command while others are talking. •Avoid fans blowing across the microphone. This problem occurs very often in summer when the air conditioning is turned up high. Turn down the fan or reposition the Magellan Maestro.•Roll up the window if road noise is too high. In some cars, the interior noise increases dramatically with car speed. The best thing to do with noisy cars is to close the windows. Positioning the Magellan Maestro closer to you can also help.•Avoid shouting. Shouting puts stress into the voice which actually degrades speech recognition performance. If the navigator is not hearingyou, try moving the Magellan Maestro closer and lowering your voice.

Traffic 62FAQsQ1- How does the TrafficKit module choose the frequency on which to receive Traffic data?A1: This is an automated procedure. When you turn on the system, the TrafficKit module analyzes the 5 best frequencies stored in its memory. These frequencies are classified in order of signal strength. The module then tests if Traffic data is available on the first station. If the first station is sending Traffic messages, the module will stay on that frequency, otherwise it will test the next one until it finds a station that delivers Traffic data.If none of the 5 frequencies can be used, the TrafficKit module will start scanning the entire FM band. It will search for the best five frequencies on which Traffic data is available and will tune in to the strongest station. These five best frequencies will be saved in memory to be used the next time the system is powered up.Q2- Why do we have to wait between 2 and 5 minutes before the RDS module starts delivering RDS data?A2: This is the average time for the module to test all the possible frequencies on the FM band and choose the best one in terms of signal level and Traffic data availability/quality.
