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

AVEHICLE.

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 geometryand

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.
