Safety Warnings

The Magellan eXplorist is a navigation aid designed to assist you in arriving at your selected destination. When using the

Magellan eXplorist, these safety rules must be followed to prevent accidents that can result in injury or death to yourself or others:

IN THE INTERESTS OF SAFETY, DO NOT USE THIS NAVIGATION DEVICE WHILE DRIVING A

VEHICLE.

Please do not try to change any settings on the Magellan eXplorist while driving. Come to a complete stop or ask a passenger make any changes. Taking your eyes off the road is dangerous and can result in an accident in which you or others could be injured.

USE GOOD JUDGEMENT

This product is an excellent navigation aid, but does not replace the need for careful orienteering and good judgement.

Never rely solely on one device for navigating.

USE CARE

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the U.S. Government, which is solely responsible for the accuracy and maintenance of the GPS network. The accuracy of position fixes can be affected by the periodic adjustments to

GPS satellites made by the U.S. government and is subject to change in accordance with the Department of Defence civil GPS user policy and the Federal Radionavigation Plan. Accuracy can also be affected by poor satellite geometry and obstructions, like buildings and large trees.

USE PROPER ACCESSORIES

Use only Magellan cables and antennas; the use of non-Magellan cables and antennas may severely degrade performance or damage the receiver, and will void the warranty.

No part of this guide may be reproduced or transmitted in any form or by any means, electronic or mechanical, including photocopying and recording, for any purpose other than the purchaser’s personal use without the prior written permission of MiTAC Digital Corporation.

Using the Magellan eXplorist

The Magellan eXplorist GPS receiver is designed to be easy enough for the casual ‘explorer’ as well as having all of the advance features the ‘enthusiast’ requires. This chapter provides information on the basics of using the Magellan eXplorist GPS receiver.

Use of the Joystick to select or ENTER. Throughout this manual you will be asked to ‘select’ a button or icon.

This is done by using the joystck (left, right, up, down) to highlight the item on the display. Pressing down on the joystick provides the ENTER command to the receiver.

Installing the Batteries

The Magellan eXplorist GPS receiver uses two

AA batteries that provides 16 hours of normal use.

(See the section on Power Settings for details as to how to extend the battery life.) Lithium, alkaline or rechargeable batteries can be used but both batteries need to be of the same type and should be defined in the Tools > Power function in the receiver (see

Setting Battery Type).

Replacing the Batteries

1.

Remove the battery door by raising the arm on the battery door lock and turning it counter clockwise for one-quarter of a turn.

2.

Remove the battery door. The battery door pivots from the bottom. The pivot points will release when the top of the battery door is being raised.

4.

Replace the battery door by first aligning the pivot tabs at the bottom of the door with the receiver.

5.

Lower the battery door until it seats firmly against the receiver. (Note: you may need to turn the battery door lock counter clockwise to allow the door to seat against the back of the receiver.)

6.

Turn the battery door lock clockwise, locking the door in place.

Setting the Battery Type

1.

Press and hold the Power button (top left of the receiver) for 2 seconds.

2.

With the receiver on and the Map screen displayed, press the BACK button.

3.

The Menu screen is displayed. Use the joystick to highlight the Tools icon. Press the joystick to

Enter.

3.

Install two AA batteries as shown.
