Connecting Power
Plug the end of the vehicle power adapter into a
12 VDC vehicle power receptacle. Connect the
other end of the cable to the Magellan Maestro as
shown. If there is power at the receptacle, the
Magellan Maestro should power on. (Note: some
vehicles apply power to the vehicle power
receptacle only when the ignition is on.)
Connect the FM antenna cable to the FM input
connector. Route the cable along the base of the
windshield and use the suction cups to hold it in
place.
Check Connection and Final Adjustments
If the power indicator light on the vehicle power cable connector is on, power is being supplied to the
Magellan Maestro. If it is not on, check the cable connection to the vehicle power receptacle. If the
light is still not on, turn the vehicle’s ignition on.
Press the power button (located on the top of the Maestro) and hold down for a few seconds. The
Magellan Maestro will power on. Sit in a normal driving position and make any final adjustments to
the swivel mount for optimum viewing. Tighten the adjusting knobs on the swivel mount to hold the
Magellan Maestro firmly in place.
Press the power button again to turn the Magellan Maestro off and turn the ignition switch to the
vehicle to off. The Magellan Maestro is connected and ready for use.

It is recommended that the Magellan Maestro is not left in plain view while unattended for reasons of
theft.
