Installation Instructions
Installation of the Magellan Maestro is simple and easy. The hardest part will be picking the best
location.
Selecting the Location
A few tips on selecting a suitable location.
• Mount the Magellan Maestro in a place where it can be easily seen and will not interfere
with your view of the road.
• The Magellan Maestro 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 windscreen.
• Select whether it will be mounted using the adjustable mount to the windscreen or the
supplied adhesive disk. Make sure that you check your local and regional laws before
mounting the device on the windscreen. Some countries have laws restricting the
mounting of any device on the windscreen.
• If planning to use the adhesive disk, a smooth surface on the dash board will need to be
selected. Do not attach the adhesive disk to the windscreen.
• Make sure that the Magellan Maestro or any cabling will not be disturbed if the airbags are
activated.
Cleaning the Area
Use the alcohol pad that came with the Magellan Maestro to clean the area on the windscreen or
dashboard that has been selected for mounting the Magellan Maestro.
Applying the Adhesive Disk
(Skip if mounting directly onto the windscreen.) Remove the protective tape from the back of the
adhesive disk. Apply the disk with the adhesive side towards the dashboard. Maintain pressure on
the disk for 5 minutes to allow it to set in place. Allow the disk 24 hours to cure before continuing.
Attach the Adjustable Mount
Line up the two tabs on the adjustable mount
with the holes on the back of the Magellan
Maestro. Once the adjustable mount is flush
with the Magellan Maestro, push the receiver
down until it locks in place with the adjustable
mount.
Please note that the mounting bracket supplied with the Magellan Maestro may be different to the one shown in this
document.
