Magellan EXplorist XL Bedienungsanleitung

Magellan eXplorist XL

Reference Manual

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

Please do not try and 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 JUDGEMENT

This product is an excellent navigation aid, but does not replace the need for careful orienteering and good

judgement. 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, like 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.

eXplorist XL GPS Receiver 3

Remove battery cover by turning the silver latch on the back of

the unit one quarter turn. The eXplorist XL uses four 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 19 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. 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 high. You should

use the Light Timer to set a time interval that the display backlight will automatically turn to the lowest

setting when none of the buttons have been pressed and the computed location hasn’t changed.

Setting the Power Timer

From any Nav screen press MENU. Highlight Preferences and press ENTER. Highlight Pwr Management and

press ENTER twice. Use the arrow joystick to select 5 Minutes, 10 Minutes, 30 Minutes, 60 Minutes or Off.

Press ENTER. Press NAV to return to the last viewed navigation screen.

Setting the Light Timer

From any NAV screen press MENU. Highlight Preferences and press ENTER. Highlight Pwr Management and

press ENTER. Use the down arrow to highlight the Light Timer field. Press ENTER. Use the arrow joystick to

select 30 Seconds, 1 Minute, 2 Minutes, 4 Minutes, 10 Minutes or Timer Off. Press ENTER. Press NAV to

return to the last viewed navigation screen.

Install the SD card as shown here.

Installing the Batteries

Installing an Optional SD Card

eXplorist XL GPS Receiver 4

Turn your eXplorist off and connect the connector of the eXplorist data cable to the back of your eXplorist and

tighten the locking screw. There are alignment tabs on the connector to make sure that the connector is

installed properly. It is recommended that you connect the eXplorist to external power using the external AC

power adapter.

The other end of the eXplorist data cable has a standard USB connector that you connect to your personal

computer USB ports (normally found on the back of your personal computer). Turn your personal computer on

and then turn on your eXplorist. You may see a message on your computer indicating that it has found a new

USB hardware device. On your eXplorist, a screen is displayed indicating that it is in USB File transfer mode.

Right click the “My Computer” icon on the desktop of your computer and select the “Explore” option. From

here you are able to copy files to and from the eXplorist or SD card, depending upon what you have selected.

From here you are able to copy files to and from the installed SD card to your computer.

WARNING: When connecting the USB cable, always connect it to the eXplorist first before plugging the

AC power adapter into a wall socket.

Connecting to a Personal Computer

To turn the eXplorist on, press the POWER button on the top right side.

To turn the eXplorist off, press the POWER button on the top right side.

There is a 5 second countdown after you press the POWER button. If you change

your mind and decide to leave the eXplorist on, just press the ESC button. If you

press the POWER button during this countdown period, the eXplorist will

immediately turn off.

The display backlight has three levels of intensity: high, low and off. When the eXplorist is first turned on, the

display backlight is on high. Press the LIGHT button on the top left side of the eXplorist to turn the backlight

on low. Pressing the LIGHT button a second time turns the backlight off.

Backlight intensity changes each time you press

the LIGHT button.

Remember: Using the display

backlight causes severe drain on the batteries.

Turning the eXplorist On

Turning the Display Backlight On/Off

Starting Up

Starting Up 6

Turn the eXplorist on. Press the Power button. When the Startup screen is

displayed, press ENTER.

Select Language. When you turn on the eXplorist for the first time you are

given the option of selecting one of the ten languages that will be used.

You can change the language selection at any time by accessing Menu >

Preferences > Languages.

Tip: If you accidentally change the language and you can’t read the text and

need to change it back, press the NAV button until the Satellite Status

screen is displayed. Press MENU. Use the Arrow joystick to highlight the

fourth line and press ENTER. Use the Arrow joystick to highlight the fifth

line and press ENTER. The Language Select screen will be displayed.

Read Warning. When you agree to the warning statement, press ENTER to

continue.

Compute Initial Position. For this operation, it is best if you are outside and

have a clear, unobstructed view of the sky. Without a clear view, this will

take much longer and could result in the eXplorist being unable to compute

the initial position automatically.

The eXplorist begins to compute your initial position. This may take a few

minutes as it is doing a cold start.

Normally, when you first turn the eXplorist on it will compute your position

in a manner of seconds as it is able to do a warm start. (An explanation of

cold start vs. warm start is explained following this section.)

The Satellite Status screen is displayed, showing you the progress of the

collection of satellite data.

Using the eXplorist for the First Time

Use arrow joystick to move the

highlight up and down. Press

ENTER to accept.

Press ENTER to continue.

Satellite Status screen shows

how many satellites are being

tracked as well as the relative

strength of the signal.
