IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS
***
The Magellan RoadMate 300 is a vehicle-navigation aid designed to assist you in arriving at 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:
• 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 unit only when the vehicle is
stopped. Only a vehicle passenger should enter data or program the unit while the vehicle
is moving.
• It is your responsibility to comply with all traffic laws.
• While every attempt is made to ensure that the database is accurate, roadways, points of
interest, 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.
• Laws in some states prohibit wearing stereo headphones while operating a motor vehicle.
Please contact your state’s Department of Motor Vehicles for information.
•Take care when mounting the unit 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 unit 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 unit.
• Please refer to the Read Me First document supplied with your Magellan RoadMate for
installation instructions.
