IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS  
The Magellan RoadMate receiver is a vehicle-navigation aid designed to assist you in arriving at  
your selected destinations. When using the Magellan RoadMate receiver, these safety rules must be  
followed to prevent accidents that can result in injury or death to yourself or others:  
Please check the applicable regulations in your state regarding windshield mounting. Certain  
states prohibit the mounting of any items on your windshield. Go to www.magellanGPS.com for  
alternative mounting solutions.  
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 Magellan RoadMate receiver only when  
the vehicle is stationary. Only a vehicle passenger should enter data or program the Magellan  
RoadMate receiver while the vehicle is moving. Do not become distracted by the receiver while  
driving, and always be fully aware of all driving conditions.  
It is your responsibility to comply with all traffic laws and to use the Magellan RoadMate and  
mounting options in such a manner that the user is in compliance with applicable laws.  
Roads, points of interest (POIs), business and service locations may change over time. As a result  
the database may contain inaccuracy. Also, the database does not include, analyse, process,  
consider, or reflect any of the following: legal restrictions (such as vehicle type, weight, height,  
width, load and speed restrictions); road slope or  
Trade Name  
Model Number  
gradient; bridge height, width, weight or other limits;  
population density; neighborhood quality or safety;  
availability or proximity of police, 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.  
Tested To Comply  
With FCC Standards  
FOR HOME OR OFFICE USE  
Keep the Magellan RoadMate receiver safe from extreme temperature conditions. For example, do  
not leave it exposed to direct sunlight for an extended period of time.  
Take care when mounting the Magellan RoadMate receiver in your vehicle, whether using the  
windshield mount or other mounts, 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 receiver be dislodged while driving. It is your responsibility to assess the  
risks associated with damage to your vehicle or vehicle occupants as the result of your choices in  
mounting the Magellan RoadMate receiver.  
Temperature  
The maximum operating temperature is 140°F (60°C).  
Battery  
The battery in the Magellan RoadMate receiver is rechargeable and should not be removed. In the  
event that it should need to be replaced, please contact Magellan Technical Support.  
Charging the Magellan RoadMate  
An optional AC adapter is available as an accessory for your Magellan RoadMate. Use of  
RoadMate 6230-LM User Manual

another type of AC adapter can result in malfunction and/or possible fire hazard due to battery  
overheating.  
Only use the car charger approved for/supplied with your Magellan RoadMate receiver. Use of  
another type of car charger will result in fire or electric shock.  
For safety reasons, the battery in your Magellan RoadMate receiver will stop charging when the  
ambient temperature is less than 32°F (0°C) or more than 113°F (45°C).  
It will take approximately 4 hours of charging the Magellan RoadMate receiver through the vehicle  
power adapter or optional AC adapter to obtain a full battery charge. It is recommended that you  
charge the battery initially for at least 2 hours.  
Use only the charger approved for your Magellan RoadMate receiver.  
Estimated usage of the Magellan RoadMate on battery power is approximately 2 hours.

1 Magellan RoadMate GPS Receiver with DVR  
The Magellan® RoadMate® receiver is a  
vehicle navigation product with Digital Video  
Recorder (DVR) functionality.  
• Save location information to create a map  
later of the places you went.  
• Save all or part of the video for later  
viewing.  
It uses GPS signals from satellites to  
calculate your precise location and compute  
navigational information.  
• Customize your Magellan RoadMate  
receiver to meet your needs using the  
Settings menu.  
The DVR records continuous video, audio,  
location, and other information. The video  
provides an impartial witness in case of need.  
The user interface for the Magellan RoadMate  
receiver is intended to be easy and simple to  
follow.  
The RoadMate uses its position and  
movement to overlay this information  
on detailed maps to provide a visual  
representation of your location.  
The Magellan RoadMate receiver 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 receiver to esternal  
power. Note that a fully charged Magellan  
RoadMate only has about 2 hours of battery  
life. If you need or wish to use external power,  
you can use an optional AC power adapter.  
With the Magellan RoadMate receiver you  
can:  
• Save searches and addresses under the  
OneTouch™ menu for fast, convenient  
access to favorite destinations and  
searches.  
While the Magellan RoadMate has a powerful  
GPS chipset, you may not get strong enough  
satellite signals to compute your location when  
indoors or in a parking garage. If you find  
you are not getting strong enough satellite  
signals while in a garage or other structure,  
move to a location where there is a clear view  
of the sky and you should immediately see an  
improvement in signal strength.  
• Store your home address and quickly get  
routing details to your home.  
• Enter 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 QuickSpell™ and Smart City search for  
easy, errorless address entry.  
The Magellan RoadMate receiver includes  
Voice Alerts (both prerecorded and Text-to-  
Speech) for driving instructions.  
• Route to any point of interest (POI) that  
has been preloaded into your Magellan  
RoadMate receiver.  
• Create a route with multiple destinations.  
Handy for business people who need  
routing information to many destinations.  
You may never need this manual, but if  
you do, we hope you find it useful and the  
instructions easy to follow.  
• View POIs that are near exits ahead of  
you on the highway. The Highway Exit  
POIs function provides you with a list of  
gas stations, restaurants, hotels and auto  
repair shops located nearby exits you  
are approaching while travelling on the  
interstate.  
This document is set up to be printed on 8.5” x  
11” paper.

QuickSpell  
Another feature the Magellan RoadMate  
receiver uses to make entering cities and  
streets easier is a feature known as QuickSpell.  
As letters are entered for a city or street the  
Quickspell feature checks the database for  
cities or streets that begin with the letters
