This quick start guide covers the basic information you need to get started using
your eXplorist GPS receiver. If you need more detailed information on the
functions of your eXplorist GPS receiver, you can download a full user manual in
PDF format from the support section of www.magellangps.com
. This manual can
either be viewed or printed from your computer.
By providing the User Manual online in a digital format, Magellan hopes to save a
few trees and help protect the environment.

The Magellan eXplorist receiver is a navigation aid designed to assist you in
arriving at your selected destination. When using the Magellan eXplorist receiver,
these safety rules must be followed to prevent accidents that can result in injury or
death to yourself or others.
Please do not try and change any settings on the Magellan eXplorist receiver
while driving. Come to a complete stop or ask a passenger to make any changes.
This product is an excellent navigation aid, but does not replace the need for
careful orienteering and good judgment. Never rely solely on one device for
navigating.
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 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 only Magellan cables and accessories; the use of non-Magellan cables and
accessories may severely degrade performance or damage the receiver, and will
void the warranty.
The information provided in this document is subject to change without notice.
Improvements and enhancements to the product may occur without any formal
notification. Check the Magellan website (www.magellanGPS.com) for product
updates and additional information.
Maximum normal use temperature is 60°C.

4. LIMITATION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES. Except as set forth in item 1 above, all other expressed or
implied warranties, including those of fitness for any particular purpose or merchantability, are hereby
disclaimed AND IF APPLICABLE, IMPLIED WARRANTIES UNDER ARTICLE 35 OF THE UNITED
NATIONS CONVENTION ON CONTRACTS FOR THE INTERNATIONAL SALE OF GOODS.
SOME NATIONAL, STATE, OR LOCAL LAWS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN

The opening, dismantling or repair of this product by anyone other than an authorized Magellan
Service Centre will void this warranty.
