Installation

Choose 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.
