Magellan RoadMate 1200

The Magellan RoadMate 1200 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 1200 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 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 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 power of the SiRFstarIII™ 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.

This document is set up to be printed on 8.5" x 11" (letter) paper should you desire a printed version for your reference.

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 the supplied 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.
• 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.
• Make sure that the Magellan RoadMate or any cabling will not be disturbed in the event that the airbags are deployed.

Cleaning the Area

Use the alcohol pad that came with the Magellan RoadMate to clean the area on the windshield 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

Align the tabs on the cradle to the indents on the bottom of the Magellan RoadMate.

Swivel the cradle up so that it is flush against the back of the receiver and snaps into place.

Please note that the mounting bracket supplied with the Magellan RoadMate may be different then the one shown in this document.

Adjustable Mount

Line up the two tabs on the adjustable mount with the holes on the back of the Magellan RoadMate. Once the adjustable mount is flush with the Magellan RoadMate, push the receiver down until it locks in place with the adjustable mount.

Secure the 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 mount firmly over the area of the windshield to be used or the adhesive disk. Push the lever at the base of the mount all the way down until it snaps in place. Carefully let go of the assembly, making sure that it is securely mounted.

Adjust the Mount for Optimum Viewing

Loosen the adjustment locking knobs and position the Magellan RoadMate for optimum viewing. Once set, tighten the locking knobs. (Never attempt to adjust the mount while driving.)

Connecting Power

Plug the end of the cigarette lighter adapter into a 12 VDC cigarette lighter receptacle in the vehicle. Connect the other end to the Magellan RoadMate's USB connector as shown. If there is power at the receptacle, the Magellan RoadMate will power on. (Note: some vehicles apply power to the cigarette lighter receptacle only when the ignition is on.)

Security

It is recommended that the Magellan RoadMate is not left in plain view while unattended for reasons of theft.

Region

By default, the Magellan RoadMate has the region setting for the lower 48 United States. If you are travelling in Hawaii or Puerto Rico you must change the region in User Options.

1 From the Main Menu, tap on the right arrow to access the second page of the Main Menu.
