IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS
The Magellan RoadMate receiver is a vehicle-navigation aid designed to assist you in arriving at
your selected destinations. When using the Magellan RoadMate 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 RoadMate receiver only when
the vehicle is stationary. Only a vehicle passenger should enter data or program the Magellan
RoadMate receiver while the vehicle is moving. Do not become distracted by the receiver while
driving, and always be fully aware of all driving conditions.
It is your responsibility to comply with all traffic laws and to use the Magellan RoadMate and
mounting options in such a manner that the user is in compliance with applicable 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, analyze, 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 RoadMate 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 RoadMate 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 RoadMate receiver.
Temperature
The maximum operating temperature is 140°F (60°C).
Battery
The battery in the Magellan RoadMate receiver is rechargeable and should not be removed. In the
event that it should need to be replaced, please contact Magellan Technical Support.
Charging the Magellan RoadMate
An optional AC adapter is available as an accessory for your Magellan RoadMate . Use of another
type of AC adapter can result in malfunction and/or possible fire hazard due to battery overheating.
Only use the car charger approved for/supplied with your Magellan RoadMate receiver. Use of
another type of car charger will result in fire or electric shock.
RM9416 User Manual
ii
For safety reasons, the battery in your Magellan RoadMate receiver will stop charging when the
ambient temperature is less than 32°F (0°C) or more than 113°F (45°C).
It will take approximately 4 hours of charging the Magellan RoadMate receiver through the vehicle
power adapter or optional AC adapter to obtain a full battery charge. It is recommended that you
charge the battery initially for at least 2 hours.
Use only the charger approved for your Magellan RoadMate receiver.
Estimated usage of the Magellan RoadMate on battery power is approximately 30 minutes.

1 Magellan Roadmate GPS Receiver
The Magellan® RoadMate® receiver is a vehicle
navigation product.
It uses GPS signals from satellites to calculate
your precise location and compute navigational
information.
The RoadMate uses its position and movement
to overlay this information on detailed maps
to provide a visual representation of your
location.
The user interface for the Magellan Roadmate
receiver is intended to be easy and simple to
follow.
The Magellan Roadmate receiver has a builtin battery. Note that a fully charged Magellan
Roadmate with 7” screen only has about 30
minutes of battery life. If you need or wish to
use external power, you can use an optional AC
power adapter.
• Store your home address so you can quickly
get routing details from wherever you are to
your home.
While the Magellan Roadmate has a powerful
GPS chipset, you may not get strong enough
satellite signals to compute your location
when indoors or in a parking garage. If you
find you are not getting strong enough satellite
signals while in a garage or other structure,
move to a location where there is a clear view
of the sky and you should immediately see an
improvement in signal strength.
• Enter and save addresses in your address
book that can be accessed at any time and
get routing information to that address.*
The Magellan Roadmate receiver includes
Voice Alerts (both prerecorded and Text-toSpeech) for driving instructions.
• Route to an address that you enter using
the QuickSpell™ and Smart City search for
easy, errorless address entry.
Need Technical Support?
With the Magellan Roadmate receiver you can:
• Save searches and addresses under the
OneTouch™ menu for fast, convenient
access to favorite destinations and
searches.
• Route to any point of interest (POI) that
has been preloaded into your Magellan
Roadmate receiver.
• Create a route with multiple destinations.
Handy for business people who need
routing information to many destinations.
• View POIs that are near exits ahead of
you on the highway. The Highway Exit
POIs function provides you with a list of
gas stations, restaurants, hotels and auto
repair shops located nearby exits you
are approaching while travelling on the
interstate.
If you need technical support for your Magellan receiver
you should first go to www.magellangps.com/support for
answers to most questions.
If you can’t find a solution there, you can contact Magellan
Technical Support directly by e-mail at
[email protected] or call 800-707-9971.
Magellan Take-Back Program
Magellan’s Take-Back Program provides
a way for consumers to recycle certain
Magellan equipment. As part of this program,
all Magellan GPS models will be accepted.
Visit magellanGPS.com for more information.
• Save location information to create a map
later of the places you went.
• Customize your Magellan Roadmate
receiver to meet your needs using the
Settings menu.

QuickSpell
Another feature the Magellan RoadMate

City Search attempts to predict the city you are
looking for. This prediction is based upon two
factors; your position and cities you’ve gone to
