User Manual
i
The Magellan RoadMate is a vehicle-navigation aid designed to assist you in arriving to your selected destinations. When
using the Magellan RoadMate, 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 RoadMate for use as an alternate mounting solution
to the dashboard.
• When driving, the need to view the display is minimal. The driver should enter data or program the Magellan RoadMate
only when the vehicle is stopped. Only a vehicle passenger should enter data or program the Magellan RoadMate 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 RoadMate 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 in your vehicle, whether using the windshield mount or other
mounting 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 RoadMate 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 RoadMate.
• The battery in the Magellan RoadMate is rechargeable and should not be removed. In the event it should need to be
replaced, please contact Magellan Technical Support.
About 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 over heating.
• Use only the vehicle power cable approved for / supplied with your Magellan RoadMate. Use of another type of vehicle
power cable will result in malfunction and/or damage to the receiver.
• For safety reasons, the battery in your Magellan RoadMate 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 6 hours of charging the Magellan RoadMate through the vehicle power adapter or optional AC
adapter to obtain a full battery charge.
About the Battery
• Do not attempt to replace the battery. Please contact Magellan Technical Support for issues related to the battery.
• Use only the charger approved for your Magellan RoadMate.

Magellan RoadMate 1400
The Magellan RoadMate 1400 is a vehicle navigation product that utilizes GPS signals from satellites
to calculate your precise location and compute details about its travel. Knowing its position and
movement, it can then overlay this information on detailed maps provided by NAVTEQ
®
to provide a
visual representation of your location.
With the Magellan RoadMate 1400 you can:
• Store your home address and quickly get routing details to your home.
• Create and save addresses in your address book that can be accessed at any time and get
routing information to that address.
• Route to an address that you enter using the keypad and Magellan’s QuickSpell feature for
easy, errorless address entry.
• Route to any point of interest (POI) that has been preloaded into your Magellan RoadMate.
• Route to a POI that appears on the map while traveling simply by tapping on the POI icon.
• Route to an intersection by selecting the intersecting streets.
• Create a trip with multiple destinations using the trip planner. Handy for business people
who need routing information to many destinations.
• View POIs that are ahead of you on the freeway. The exit POI function provides you with a
list of gas stations, restaurants, hotels and auto repair shops located nearby exits you are
approaching while traveling on a freeway.
• Customize your Magellan RoadMate to meet your needs using the User Options menu.
The interface for the Magellan RoadMate is easy and simple to follow once you understand the basics.
You may never need to refer to this manual but if you do we have tried to present it in a form that you
can access the function you are trying to complete and follow the steps provided.
The Magellan RoadMate has a built-in battery so in most cases you will be able to follow these
instructions while reading them on your computer screen without plugging the Magellan RoadMate to
AC power. You should note that while indoors you may not get any satellite signals so your location
information would not be updated. However, the Centrality™ chipset installed in the Magellan
RoadMate will get satellite signals in some very rough locations so you may notice the Magellan
RoadMate computing a position, even indoors.

Installation Instructions
Installation of the Magellan RoadMate 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 in a place where it can be easily seen and will not interfere
with your view of the road.
• The Magellan RoadMate 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 an
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. (Adhesive Disks are available from the
Magellan Store at www.magellanGPS.com if one was not supplied with the Magellan
RoadMate.)
• 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 nor airbag covers.
• Make sure that the Magellan RoadMate nor any cabling will be disturbed in the event that
the airbags are deployed.

Installation 4
Cleaning the Area
Use the alcohol pad that came with the Magellan RoadMate to clean the area on the windshield or
dash that has been selected for mounting the Magellan RoadMate. 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 to the Swivel Mount
Line up the two tabs on the swivel mount
with the holes on the back of the cradle.
Push the cradle down until it locks in place
with the swivel mount.
Secure the Swivel Mount to the Windshield or Adhesive Disk
Make sure that the lever at the base of the
adjustable mount is in the up position. Place
the base of the swivel mount firmly over the
area of the windshield to be used or the
adhesive disk. 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.
