Safety

The Magellan eXplorist is a navigation aid designed to assist you in arriving at your selected
destination. When using the Magellan eXplorist, these safety rules must be followed to prevent
accidents that can result in injury or death to yourself or others:

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

Please do not try to change any settings on the Magellan eXplorist while driving. Come to a
complete stop or ask 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 xes

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 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.

No part of this guide may be reproduced or transmitted in any form or by any means, electronic
or mechanical, including photocopying and recording, for any purpose other than the purchaser’s
personal use without the prior written permission of MiTAC Digital Corporation.

It is important that you confirm that the BATTERY TYPE setting is set properly for the type of
batteries installed.

1. From the SETTINGS menu, highlight POWER and press ENTER.

2. With BATTERY TYPE highlighted, press ENTER.

3. Highlight the battery type (LITHIUM, ALKALINE or RECHARGEABLE) and press ENTER.

POWER

To apply power to the Magellan eXplorist 350H receiver press and
hold the POWER button for 2-3 seconds. The start up screen will be
displayed while the software loads.

Turning the receiver off: Press the POWER button to turn the receiver
off. The Power Off screen is displayed with two options for how the
device will be powered off; ACTIVE SUSPEND or POWER OFF. Active
Suspend will continue tracking your activity but turn the display off,
extending battery life. (Pressing the POWER button quickly while in

Press and hold the POWER button to power the device completely off,
skipping the Active Suspend option.

Hard Reset: In the unlikely event that the device becomes
“locked up” or is behaving erratically, you can perform a hard
reset which will probably cure the problem. Open the USB
cover and locate the small hole that provides access to the
reset button. Insert a paper clip or other small object in the
hole and quickly press the reset button. The device will turn
off and then turn back on. Note: If planning a trip you will
lose all information for that trip.
