Initial Release B/1/201 Initial release with basic functions

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 xes 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.

Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of

the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential

installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used

in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no

guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to

radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try

to correct the interference by one of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device

may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference

that may cause undesired operation.

Safety Warnings

FCC Caution: Any changes or modications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void

the user’s authority to operate this equipment.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

FCC Radiation Exposure Statement:

This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. End users must

follow the specic operating instructions for satisfying RF exposure compliance.

This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other aerial or transmitter.

In order to maintain compliance with FCC regulations, shielded cables must be used with this equipment. Operation with

non-approved equipment or unshielded cables is likely to result in interference to radio and TV reception. The user is

cautioned that changes and modications made to the equipment without the approval of manufacturer could void the

user’s authority to operate this equipment.

The Magellan eXplorist must be installed and operated at a distance no closer then 8 inches (20 cm) from the user.

This Class B digital device meets all requirements of the Canadian Interference-Causing Equipment Regulations.

IC statement

Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

This device may not cause interference.

This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

IC Radiation Exposure Statement:

Magellan eXplorist 310 User Manual 1

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 dened

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.

3. Install two AA batteries as shown.

4. Replace the battery door by rst aligning the

pivot tabs at the bottom of the door with the

receiver.

5. Lower the battery door until it seats rmly

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. With the receiver on and the Map screen

displayed, press the BACK button.

2. The Menu screen is displayed. Use

the joystick to highlight the Tools

icon. Press the joystick to Enter.

3. Select Settings (use the joystick to highlight

Settings and press the joystick for Enter.)

4. Select Power.

5. Select Battery Type. A drop-down menu is

displayed.

6. Select the type of battery installed; Alkaline,

Rechargeables or Lithium.

7. Use BACK button to return to the Menu

screen.

1. Press and hold the Power button (top left of

the receiver) for 2 seconds.

Turning Receiver Off

When turning the receiver off you have two options,

Suspend, Sleep or Power OFF.

GPS information will continue updating. Also if

you have an alarm set, it will continue to alert you

at the appropriate times. Use the Power button

to active the display while suspended.

Sleep: (Option is displayed only when an alarm is

set.) Turns off the display and the GPS receiver

but alarms will continue to function, providing

alerts for the current alarm settings. Use the

Power button to active the display and GPS while

receiver will appear off but is still using

battery power. Be sure to turn the receiver off using

Power OFF whenever not in use.

Conserving Power

The Magellan eXplorist can be customized to extend

the battery life of the AA batteries installed. There are

four functions, (Backlight Timer, Brightness, Active

Suspend Mode, and Power OFF Timer) that can be

set to help extend battery life.
