Installation of the Magellan RoadMate is simple and easy. The hardest part will be picking the best
location.

Selecting the Location

A few tips on selecting the proper location.
Mount the Magellan RoadMate in a place where it can be easily seen and will not interfere
with your view of the road.
The Magellan RoadMate should be mounted in such a way that the antenna, (located in
the top of the receiver), has an unobstructed view of the sky through the windshield.
Select whether it will be mounted using the adjustable mount to the windshield or the
supplied adhesive disk. Be sure to check your local and regional laws before mounting to
the windshield. Some states, like California and Minnesota, have laws restricting the
mounting of any device on the windshield.
If planning to use the adhesive disk, a smooth surface on the dash board will need to be
selected. Do not attach the adhesive disk to the windshield.
Make sure that the Magellan RoadMate or any cabling will not be disturbed in the event
that the airbags are deployed.

Cleaning the Area

Use the alcohol pad that came with the Magellan RoadMate to clean the area on the windshield that
has been selected for mounting the Magellan RoadMate. Let the area dry completely.

Applying the Adhesive Disk

(Skip if mounting directly to the windshield.) Remove the protective tape from the back of the
adhesive disk. Apply the disk with the adhesive side towards the dash. Maintain pressure on the disk
for 5 minutes to allow it to set in place. Allow the disk 24 hours to cure before continuing.

Attach the Cradle

Align the tabs on the cradle to the indents on
the bottom of the Magellan RoadMate.
Swivel the cradle up so that it is flush against
the back of the receiver and snaps into place.
Please note that the mounting bracket supplied with the Magellan RoadMate may be different then the one shown in this
document.
