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.

Additionally, you can purchase a full-color, printed user manual. Details for

purchasing a printed user manual can be found on the same web page as the

user manual download.

Be sure to register your Magellan eXplorist GPS receiver at

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

inaccuracies which may require modifications to the receiver.)

Examples of such conditions include but are not limited to changes in the GPS or GLONASS transmission.

The opening, dismantling or repair of this product by anyone other than an authorized Magellan

Service Centre will void this warranty.
