Charge A Magellan Maestro With A Motorola Cable

The Maestro is a GPS unit manufactured by Magellan that can be powered via a vehicle cigarette lighter, electrical outlet, USB port or rechargeable coin cell battery. When the unit is being powered by an external power source, the battery is simultaneously recharged. If the unit is being powered via USB port, a microUSB to USB charging data cable cord is needed. Many companies, such as Motorola, Samsung and Sony manufacture standard-sized microUSB to USB charging data cable cords.


Instructions


1. Purchase a Motorola microUSB to USB charging cable data cord. If you are unsure if the Motorola data cable is compatible with your model, read the package. Most packages indicate which products and model numbers are compatible with the cable.


2. Insert the smaller end of the Motorola data cable into the mini USB port on the side of the Magellan Maestro unit.


3. Plug the larger end of the Motorola data cable into a USB port on a computer.


4. Turn on the computer. The data cable cannot charge the Magellan Maestro without power, which it receives when the computer is powered on.
