Installation Instructions
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.
• Make sure that the Magellan RoadMate nor any cabling will 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.
Attach the Cradle to the Swivel Mount
Line up the two tabs on the swivel mount
with the holes on the back of the cradle.
Push the cradle down until it locks in place
with the swivel mount.
Secure the Swivel Mount to the Windshield
Make sure that the lever at the base of the
adjustable mount is in the up position. Place
the base of the swivel mount firmly over the
area of the windshield to be used. Push the
lever at the base of the swivel mount all the
way down until it snaps in place. Carefully let
go of the assembly, making sure that it is
securely mounted.
