ReferencesIMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS

The Magellan eXplorist TRX is an Off-Road vehicle navigation aid designed to assist you in driving on your route and arriving to your selected destinations.

Please check with your state or local law enforcement for applicable regulations regarding mounting to the windshield.

The driver should enter data or program the Magellan device only when the vehicle is stopped. Only a vehicle passenger should enter data or program the device 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.

Keep the device safe from extreme temperature conditions. For example, do not leave it exposed to direct sunlight for an extended period of time. The minimum operating temperature is 14ºF (-10ºC), and the maximum operating temperature is 140°F (60°C).

Take care when mounting the device in your vehicle, whether using the windshield mount or other mount or accessories, so that the device does not obstruct the driver’s view of the road, interfere with the operation of the vehicle’s safety devices such as airbags, or present a hazard to occupants of the vehicle should the device become

dislodged while driving. Comply with all local, state, and federal laws before mounting the device in your vehicle.
