Battery
The Magellan RoadMate has
an
internal battery that
is
charged
whenever the receiver
is
being powered by the vehicle power cable or
an
external (optional) AC power adapter. It is estimated that a receiver
can operate for 2 hours from a fully charged battery.
To
view the battery strength indicator, access the Main menu. The
battery strength
is
shown below the signal strength indicator.
It
can take up to 4 hours to fully charge the battery, depending
on
the
battery level. The battery does not need to be fully charged to use the
Magellan RoadMate receiver.
