Installation
Installation of the Magellan RoadMate receiver 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 RoadMate receiver in a place where it can be easily seen and will not
interfere with your view of the road.
• The Magellan RoadMate receiver 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 RoadMate receiver or any cabling will not be disturbed if the
airbags are activated.
• Be sure to check your local and regional laws before mounting to the windshield. Some states
have laws restricting the mounting of any device on the windshield.
Securing the Car Cradle
Clean the area on the windshield that has been
selected for mounting the Magellan RoadMate
receiver. 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 car cradle firmly over the area where
it will be placed. 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.
(The Car Cradle shown here may be different from the Car Cradle supplied with your Magellan
RoadMate receiver, but the installation is the same for all cradle styles.)
Attaching the Magellan RoadMate receiver to the Car Cra-
dle
Slide the Magellan RoadMate receiver on the car cradle so
that the slot on the Magellan RoadMate receiver aligns with
the tab on the car cradle. Slide the Magellan RoadMate
receiver all the way down until it rests on the ‘feet’. You
should notice a click when the receiver is fully mounted in
the cradle.
