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.
IT IS THE USER’S RESPONSIBILITY TO MOUNT AND OPERATE THE DEVICE IN COMPLIANCE
WITH ALL APPLICABLE LAWS AND ORDINANCES.
