WARNINGS
A measure of knowledge by the user is required for proper and
safe use of the Magellan GPS Pioneer™. READ THE USER GUIDE
& WARRANTY COMPLETELY.
Use Good Judgment
This product is an excellent navigation aid, but it does not replace
the need for careful orientation and good judgment. Never rely
solely on one device for navigating.
Use Care to Avoid Inaccuracies
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the U.S.
Government, which is solely responsible for the accuracy and the
maintenance of GPS. Certain conditions can make the system less
accurate.

Introduction
Welcome to the Magellan GPS Pioneer
Congratulations on your purchase of the Magellan GPS
Pioneer satellite navigator. The GPS Pioneer is an easy-to-use
GPS receiver designed to get you out in the “Great Outdoors”
rather than spending hours reading a User’s Manual. There
are, however, a few items that you need to be familiar with so
it is suggested that you follow along at least through the
chapter on Basic Operation.
Before you begin, make sure that your package includes the
items listed on the GPS Pioneer box. If any items are missing
or damaged, contact your Magellan dealer or retailer.
GPS Pioneer Description
The GPS Pioneer is a self-contained hand-held GPS receiver
designed for general purpose position locating and navigation.
It has a built-in antenna located at the top of the receiver, a
backlit display, and keypad. Using two AA batteries, inserted
from the battery door found at the back of the receiver, the
GPS Pioneer will operate continuously for up to 24 hours.

Getting Started
Installing the Batteries
The GPS Pioneer uses two AA alkaline batteries that are
installed at the back of the receiver. To remove the battery
cover, turn the ring of the battery door screw counterclockwise
until the battery cover can be removed.
Insert the new batteries as
shown, being sure to respect the
polarities, and replace the
battery cover.
Replace the screw and turn the
ring clockwise until the battery
door is held in place securely.
While the battery door does
provide the waterproofing seal
to the batteries, you should avoid overtightening the battery
door screw.

Getting Signals from Satellites
Since the GPS Pioneer receives information from satellites
orbiting the earth, the antenna needs to have a relatively
unobstructed view of the sky. Large obstructions such as
buildings, cliffs, and overhangs may interfere with signal
reception causing your GPS Pioneer to take additional time to
compute your location.

The GPS Pioneer is designed to
fit comfortably in your hand.
Hold the receiver with the
antenna towards the sky.
Initializing the Receiver - EZStart
Before using your GPS Pioneer for the first time, the receiver
needs to know its approximate location. Using Magellan’s
EZStart procedure, the GPS Pioneer will prompt you for the
information it requires when you turn it on for the first time.
You do not need to initialize your receiver each time you use
it. Follow these steps to initialize the GPS Pioneer if this is the
first time you are using it.
1Press
PWR
to turn the GPS Pioneer on.
2SELECT REGION. Use the ARROW pad to change the
flashing text to select the appropriate region for your
present location. Press
ENTER
.
3SELECT COUNTRY or STATE. Use the ARROW pad
to change the flashing text to select the country or state for
your present location.
Press
ENTER
.
5
4ENTER ELEVATION. Use the ARROW pad to enter
the approximate elevation for your position. If unknown,
leave the elevation at 0. Press
ENTER
.
5ENTER TIME. Use the ARROW pad to enter your
present time. Press
ENTER
.
6ENTER DATE. Use the ARROW pad to enter the date.
Press
ENTER
.
The GPS Pioneer then displays the POSITION screen and
automatically begins searching for satellites that it knows are
in this area for the date and time you entered.
The display shown here may differ
from yours depending upon the
information you selected in steps 2
and 3. As the GPS Pioneer scans the
sky, the arrow in the circle will swing
around pointing to a satellite and
displays, in the center of the circle,
that satellite’s elevation above the
horizon.
Computing a Position
The GPS Pioneer will begin to acquire information from the
satellites and use this information to compute your current
position (called a position fix). Whether you have just
6
completed the initialization process or have just turned your
GPS Pioneer on, the GPS Pioneer will display the following
screens in the order shown.
As the GPS Pioneer searches for
satellites, some of the small circles
around the large circle will become black
indicating that the GPS Pioneer is
tracking that satellite and receiving
information. The number at the
bottom right of the screen displays how
many satellites are being tracked.
After the GPS receiver has received
positioning data from at least three
satellites (approximately 2-3 minutes), it
will begin computing a position fix
based upon the information it is
receiving. As soon as a position fix is
computed, the receiver switches to the
navigation screen displaying the moving
compass. The word “TRACKING” is
displayed in the lower right corner indicating that the receiver
is computing position fixes.
Note: If the receiver has not acquired a position fix in
approximately 10 minutes, refer to the troubleshooting
section of this manual.
More information on these screens and the information they
display can be found in the next chapter.
