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 Strength
To 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 Notice
Your 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.
