Magellan® RoadMateTM Reference Manual Instructions for Operating the Magellan RoadMate 760 IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS The Magellan RoadMate 760 is a vehicle-navigation aid designed to assist you in arriving at your selected destinations. When using the Magellan RoadMate, these safety rules must be followed to prevent accidents that can result in injury or death to yourself or others: · 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 unit only when the vehicle is stopped. Only a vehicle passenger should enter data or program the unit 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. The database does not include, analyze, process, consider, or reflect any of the following: legal restrictions (such as vehicular type, weight, height, width, load and speed restrictions); road slope or grade; bridge height, width, weight, or other limits; population density; neighborhood quality or safety; availability or proximity of law enforcement, 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. Keep the Magellan RoadMate 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 unit in your vehicle, whether using the windshield mount or other mount or accessories, 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 unit be dislodged while driving. You assume the risks associated with damage to your vehicle or vehicle occupants as the result of your choices in mounting the unit.
