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.
• Make sure that the Magellan Maestro or any cabling will not be disturbed if the airbags are
activated.
• Select whether it will be mounted using the adjustable mount to the windshield or an 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 nor airbag covers.
Attaching 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.
Securing the Swivel Mount to the Windshield
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.
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.
