Safety.
This Magellan device is a dashboard camera and recording device designed to assist you in recording videos,
taking photos, and managing the content stored on the device.
Please check with your state or local law enforcement for applicable regulations regarding mounting to the
windshield. Go to the Magellan store at magellanGPS.com for alternate mounting solutions.
The driver should enter data or program the Magellan receiver only when the vehicle is stopped. Only a vehicle
passenger should enter data or
program the device 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.
Keep the receiver safe from extreme temperature conditions. For example, do not leave it exposed to direct
sunlight for an extended period of time. The maximum operating temperature is 140°F (60°C).
Take care when mounting the device 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 receiver 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 receiver.
The battery is rechargeable and should not be removed. In the event it should need to be replaced, please
contact Magellan Technical Support at support.magellanGPS.com or 800-707-8871.

Taking Care Of Your Dashcam.
Taking care of your dashcam ensures smooth operation and reduces damage risk.
Keep your device away from excessive moisture and extreme temperatures.
Avoid exposing your device to direct sunlight or strong ultraviolet light for
extended periods of time.
Do not place anything on top of your device or drop objects on your device.
Do not drop your device or subject it to severe shock.
Do not subject your device to sudden and severe temperature changes. This
could cause moisture condensation inside the unit, which could damage your
device. In the event of moisture condensation, allow the device to dry out
completely before use.
The screen surface can easily be scratched. Avoid touching it with sharp
objects. Non-adhesive generic screen protectors designed specifically for use
on portable devices with LCD panels may be used to help protect the screen
from minor scratches.
Never clean your device with it powered on. Use a soft, lint-free cloth to wipe
the screen and the exterior of your device.
Do not use paper towels to clean the screen.
Never attempt to disassemble, repair or make any modifications to your
device. Disassembly, modification or any attempt at repair could cause
damage to your device and even bodily injury or property damage and will void
any warranty.
Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases or explosive materials in the
same compartment as your device, its parts or accessories.
Do not attempt to service the unit. There are no serviceable parts inside.
Replace the unit if it is damaged or exposed to excess moisture.
To discourage theft, do not leave the device and accessories in plain view in an
unattended vehicle.
Overheating may damage the device.
