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 the
supplied 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.
• Make sure that the Magellan Maestro or any cabling will not 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 or dash
that has been selected for mounting the Magellan Maestro. Let the area dry completely.
Applying the Adhesive Disk
(Skip if mounting directly to the windshield.) Remove the protective tape from the back of the
adhesive disk. Apply the disk with the adhesive side towards the dash. Maintain pressure on the disk
for 5 minutes to allow it to set in place. Allow the disk 24 hours to cure before continuing.
Attach the Cradle
Align the tabs on the cradle to the indents on
the bottom of the Magellan Maestro. Swivel
the cradle up so that it is flush against the
back of the receiver and snaps into place.
Please note that the mounting bracket supplied with the Magellan Maestro may be different then the one shown in this
document.
