Magellan 1400 User Guide

Installation of the Magellan RoadMate is simple and easy. The hardest part will be picking the best 
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.

•

Make sure that the Magellan RoadMate nor any cabling will be disturbed in the event that 

the airbags are deployed.

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.

Line up the two tabs on the swivel mount 
with the holes on the back of the cradle.  
Push the cradle down until it locks in place 
with the swivel mount.

Make sure that the lever at the base of the 
adjustable mount is in the up position. Place 
the base of the swivel mount firmly over the 
area of the windshield to be used. Push the 
lever at the base of the swivel mount all the 
way down until it snaps in place. Carefully let 
go of the assembly, making sure that it is 
securely mounted.

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