IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS
The Magellan Maestro receiver is a vehicle-navigation aid designed to assist you in arriving at your selected
destinations. When using the Magellan Maestro receiver, these safety rules must be followed to prevent accidents
that can result in injury or death to yourself or others:
Please check the applicable regulations in your state regarding windshield mounting. Certain States prohibit
the mounting of any items on your windshield. Go to www.magellanGPS.com for alternative mounting
solutions.
When driving, the need to view the display is minimal. Voice prompts will guide you to your destination. The
driver should enter data or program the Magellan Maestro receiver only when the vehicle is stationary. Only
a vehicle passenger should enter data or program the Magellan Maestro receiver while the vehicle is moving.
It is your responsibility to comply with all traffic laws.
Roads, points of interest (POIs), business and service locations may change over time. As a result the
database may contain inaccuracy. Also, the database does not include, analyse, process, consider, or
reflect any of the following: legal restrictions (such as vehicle type, weight, height, width, load and speed
restrictions); road slope or gradient; bridge height, width, weight or other limits; population density;
neighborhood quality or safety; availability or proximity of police, emergency rescue, medical or other
assistance; construction work zones or hazards; road or lane closures; road, traffic or traffic facilities' safety
or condition; weather conditions; pavement characteristics or conditions; special events; traffic congestion.
It is your responsibility to disregard any unsafe, hazardous or illegal route suggestions.
Keep the Magellan Maestro receiver safe from extreme temperature conditions. For example, do not leave it
exposed to direct sunlight for an extended period of time.
Take care when mounting the Magellan Maestro receiver in your vehicle, whether using the windshield
mount or other mounts, that it does not obstruct the driver's view of the road, interfere with the operation of
the vehicle's safety devices such as air bags, or present a hazard to occupants of the vehicle should the
receiver be dislodged while driving. It is your responsibility to assess the risks associated with damage to
your vehicle or vehicle occupants as the result of your choices in mounting the Magellan Maestro receiver.
