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 300 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.

So 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
