IN THE INTEREST 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 have 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 JUDGMENT

This product is an excellent navigation aid, but it does not replace the need for careful orienteering

and good judgment. 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 Defense civil GPS user policy and the

Federal Radionavigation Plan. Accuracy can also be affected by poor satellite geometry and

obstructions, such as 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.

Installing the Batteries

The eXplorist 200 uses two AA batteries

that are installed as shown in the

accompanying diagram. Be sure to

observe the proper polarity when

installing the batteries.

Under normal operating conditions you

can expect to get more than 14 hours of

battery life when using fresh batteries.

Tips on conserving battery life:

•

Turn the eXplorist off when not in use.

Whether you are moving or standing still, the

eXplorist is constantly calculating position fixes and using power at the same rate. If

you are going to be at the same position for any length of time, turn the eXplorist off.

•

Use the Power Timer to automatically turn the eXplorist off.

The Power Timer option

allows you to set a time that the eXplorist will automatically turn off when none of

the buttons have been pressed and you are not moving for a selected time. You can

select from 5, 10, 30 or 60 minutes.

•

Use the display backlight sparingly.

The most severe drain on the batteries is the

use of the display backlight. You will notice a drastic drop in battery life with the

backlight display on continuously. You should use the Light Timer to set a time

interval that the display backlight will automatically turn off when none of the

buttons have been pressed.

Setting the Power Timer

From any

Nav

screen press MENU. Highlight Preferences and press ENTER. Highlight

Pwr Management and press ENTER twice. Use the arrow joystick to select 5 Minutes, 10

Minutes, 30 Minutes, 60 Minutes or Off. Press ENTER. Press NAV to return to the last

viewed navigation screen.

Setting the Light Timer

From any

Nav

screen press MENU. Highlight Preferences and press ENTER. Highlight

Pwr Management and press ENTER. Use the down arrow to highlight the Light Timer field.

Press ENTER. Use the arrow joystick to select 30 Seconds, 1 Minute, 2 Minutes, 4

Minutes, 10 Minutes or Timer Off. Press ENTER. Press NAV to return to the last viewed

navigation screen.

The eXplorist 200 uses information from the GPS satellites orbiting the earth to provide you

with detailed information about your exact location. This is the foundation that your

eXplorist will use to provide you with the necessary information to arrive at your destination.

Going to a Destination

The most common use of your eXplorist will be to provide you with the navigation tools

you’ll need to arrive at your chosen destination. The simplest route, and the one used

most, is a GOTO route. This is a route that is computed as a straight line from where you

are to where you want to go.

Step One: Compute Your Position

The basic operation of your eXplorist is to use the GPS satellites to compute your pres-

ent position. This is done internally in the software of your eXplorist. The only thing

that you need to do is to give your eXplorist a clear view of the sky so that it can receive

the signals from the satellites.

Do:

• Point the antenna up toward the sky.

• Maintain a clear view of the sky.

Don’t:

• Cover the antenna with your hand or other objects.

• Point the antenna down.

• Stand under trees or other heavy foliage.

• Stand where the satellite signals are being blocked by large obstructions (such as

buildings, in a narrow canyon, etc.)

If you find that the eXplorist is not computing a position, just move to a place that has

a better view of the sky.

Anytime that you want to view the status of the satellites and

their signal strength, switch to the Satellite Status screen. Here,

you will graphically see the satellites and their relative signal

strength. You need at least three satellites with good signal

strength (indicated by black bars) to compute your position. A

computed position with only three satellites is termed a 2D posi-

tion fix. When you are getting a 2D position fix, your elevation is

not being computed. To add elevation to your position fix, you

need at least four satellites with good signal strength. Positions

that use four or more satellites are called 3D position fixes.
