The Magellan Maestro is a vehicle-navigation aid designed to assist you in arriving to your selected destinations. When using
the Magellan Maestro, these safety rules must be followed to prevent accidents that can result in injury or death to yourself
or others:
California and Minnesota law prohibits mounting any item to your windshield. Please check with your state or local law
enforcement for applicable regulations regarding windshield mounting. Go to www.magellanGPS.com for alternate
mounting solutions. An adhesive disk is supplied with the Magellan Maestro for use as an alternate mounting solution to
the dashboard.
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 only when the vehicle is stopped. Only a vehicle passenger should
enter data or program the Magellan Maestro while the vehicle is moving.
It is your responsibility to comply with all traffic laws.
Every attempt is made to ensure that the database is accurate. However, roadways, points of interest (POIs), and
business and service locations may change over time. The database does not include, analyze, process, consider, or
reflect any of the following: legal restrictions (such as vehicular type, weight, height, width, load and speed restrictions);
road slope or grade; bridge height, width, weight, or other limits; population density; neighborhood quality or safety;
availability or proximity of law enforcement, 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 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 in your vehicle, whether using the windshield mount or other mount or
accessories, 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 Magellan Maestro be dislodged
while driving. You assume the risks associated with damage to your vehicle or vehicle occupants as the result of your
choices in mounting the Magellan Maestro.
Laws in some states prohibit wearing stereo headphones while operating a motor vehicle. Please contact your state’s
Department of Motor Vehicles for information.
The battery in the Magellan Maestro is rechargeable and should not be removed. In the event it should need to be
replaced, please contact Magellan Technical Support.
