Safety.

This Magellan device is a GPS navigator and recording device designed to assist you in navigation, 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.
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 airbags, 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.
In some jurisdictions, audio recordings require the consent of all parties before you begin recording. It is your responsibility to know and comply with applicable audio recording consent laws in your jurisdiction.
In some jurisdictions, it could be considered an invasion of privacy rights to take or publicly display photographs or videos of people or their vehicles using this product. It is your responsibility to know and comply with applicable laws and rights to privacy in your jurisdiction.
Before using the suction cup mount on your windshield, check the state and local laws and ordinances where you drive. Some state laws prohibit or restrict drivers from using suction mounts on their windshields while operating motor vehicles.
