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.
