Introduction
Welcome to the Magellan GPS 310
Congratulations on your purchase of the Magellan GPS 310
satellite navigator. The GPS 310 is an easy-to-use GPS
receiver designed to get you out in the “Great Outdoors”
rather than spending hours reading a User’s Manual. There
are, however, a few items that you need to be familiar with so
it is suggested that you follow along at least through the
chapter on Basic Operation.
Before you begin, make sure that your package includes the
items listed on the GPS 310 box. If any items are missing or
damaged, contact your Magellan dealer or retailer.
GPS 310 Description
The GPS 310 is a self-contained hand-held GPS receiver
designed for general purpose position locating and navigation.
It has a built-in antenna located at the top of the receiver, a
backlit display, and keypad. Using two AA batteries, inserted
from the battery door found at the back of the receiver, the
GPS 310 will operate for up to 20 hours.

Getting Started
Installing the Batteries
The GPS 310 uses two AA alkaline batteries that are installed
at the back of the receiver. To remove the battery cover, turn
the ring of the battery door screw counterclockwise until the
battery cover can be removed.
Insert the new batteries as
shown, being sure to respect the
polarities, and replace the
battery cover.
Replace the screw and turn the
ring clockwise until the battery
door is held in place securely.
While the battery door does
provide the waterproofing seal
to the batteries, you should avoid overtightening the battery
door screw.

Getting Signals from Satellites
Since the GPS 310 receives information from satellites
orbiting the earth, the antenna needs to have a relatively
unobstructed view of the sky. Large obstructions such as
buildings, cliffs, and overhangs may interfere with signal
reception causing your GPS 310 to take additional time to
compute your location.

The GPS 310 is designed to fit
comfortably in your hand. Hold
the receiver with the antenna
towards the sky.
Initializing the Receiver - EZStart
Before using your GPS 310 for the first time, the receiver
needs to know its approximate location. Using Magellan’s
EZStart procedure, the GPS 310 will prompt you for the
information it requires when you turn it on for the first time.
You do not need to initialize your receiver each time you use
it. Follow these steps to initialize the GPS 310 if this is the
first time you are using it.
Press
PWR
to turn the GPS 310 on.
SELECT REGION. Use the ARROW pad to change the
flashing text to select the appropriate region for your
present location. Press
ENTER
SELECT COUNTRY or STATE. Use the ARROW pad
to change the flashing text to select the country or state for
your present location.
