ing suggestions.
• Keep the Magellan RoadMate safe from extreme temperature conditions. For example, do not leave it exposed to direct
sunlight for an extended period of time.

air bags, or present a hazard to occupants of the vehicle should the unit become dislodged while driving. You assume
the risks associated with damage to your vehicle or vehicle occupants as the result of your choices in mounting the unit.
