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 snap it into place.

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.) 

Plug the end of the vehicle power adapter into a 
12 VDC vehicle power receptacle. Connect the 
other end of the cable 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 vehicle 
power receptacle only when the ignition is on.)

Magellan RoadMate 1425 Users:  Attach the FM 
antenna connector to the receiver just above the 
power connector.

If the power indicator light on the vehicle power cable connector is on, power is being supplied to the 
Magellan RoadMate.  If it is not on, check the cable connection to the vehicle power receptacle.  If 
the light is still not on, turn the vehicle’s ignition on.

Press the power button (located at the bottom right side of the RoadMate) and hold down for a few 
seconds.  The Magellan RoadMate will power on.  Sit in a normal driving position and make any final 
adjustments to the swivel mount for optimum viewing.  Tighten the adjusting knobs on the swivel 
mount to hold the Magellan RoadMate firmly in place.

Press the power button again to turn the Magellan RoadMate off and turn the ignition switch to the 
vehicle to off.  The Magellan RoadMate is connected and ready for use.

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

Please note that the Magellan RoadMate is a receiver only and does not transmit GPS location 
signals.  The receiver nor the vehicle can be tracked using the Magellan RoadMate.
