Installation Instructions
Installation of the Magellan Maestro 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 Maestro in a place where it can be easily seen and will not interfere
with your view of the road.
The Magellan Maestro 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 an
optional adhesive disk. Be sure to check your local and regional laws before mounting to
the windshield. (Adhesive Disks are available from the Magellan Store at
www.magellanGPS.com.)
If planning to use an adhesive disk, a smooth surface on the dash board will need to be
selected. Do not attach the adhesive disk to the windshield nor airbag covers.
Make sure that the Magellan Maestro 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 Maestro to clean the area on the windshield that has
been selected for mounting the Magellan Maestro. 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
Please note that the swivel mount supplied with the Magellan Maestro may be different then the one shown in this
