IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS

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

RoadMate 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
