Safety.

IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS

The Magellan TR5 is an off-road vehicle navigation tool designed to assist you in driving on off-road routes as well as across municipal streets. 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 device 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 device safe from extreme temperature conditions. For example, do not leave it exposed to direct sunlight for an extended period of time. The minimum operating temperature is 14°F (-10°C), and the maximum operating temperature is 140°F (60°C). Mount the device in your vehicle, whether using the windshield mount or other mount or accessories, so that the device 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 device become dislodged while driving. Comply with all local, state, and federal laws before mounting the device in your vehicle. You assume the risks associated with damage to your vehicle or vehicle occupants as the result of your choices in mounting the device. The battery is rechargeable and should not be removed. Should the battery need to be replaced, please contact Magellan Technical Support at 877-255-4161, or go to trxsupport.magellangps.com.

Charging the Magellan eXplorist TR5

An AC adapter and vehicle power adapter are included with your TR5. Use ONLY the car charger approved for/supplied with your TR5. Use of another type of car charger could result in fire or electric shock. For safety reasons, the battery in your TR5 will stop charging when the ambient temperature is less than 32^ F ( 0^ C) or more than 113^ F ( 45^ C). The TR5 requires approximately 4 hours of charging through the vehicle power adapter or AC adapter to obtain a full battery charge. Charge your TR5 battery initially for at least 2 hours. Estimated usage of the TR5 on battery power is approximately 1 hour. Note: Use a 3.5V-5V 2A charger should you need to replace your adapter.
