Display Screen

The display screen [1] is a large 2.7-inch QVGA color touch screen.

Keypad, Scroll and Enter Buttons

The keypad [2] consists of the following items:

• ZOOM+ and ZOOM-: Use these buttons to adjust the scale of the map displayed on the screen (only applicable to software displaying maps).

• LOG, MENU, ESC buttons: These buttons are specific to software applications designed to use these buttons. They have no effect with the standard Windows Mobile utilities, except for the ESC button in some cases.

The Enter button [3] is used to accept highlighted input and initiate various functions.

The Scroll button [4] is the ring around the Enter button. It is used to move the cursor on the screen, from a data field to the next on a parameter screen, from an option to another in a menu, from a geographical location to another on a map screen. Pressing the ring has an effect only in the up, down, left and right directions.

Stylus and Stylus Holder

The stylus [5] is a short plastic stick, which you can use to work directly from the touch screen. When not used, the stylus can conveniently be stored in the receiver by inserting it into the dedicated holder [5].

Built-in Antenna

The MobileMapper 6 incorporates a built-in antenna [6]. Because of the presence of a built-in antenna, the receiver should be held properly to optimize satellite reception.

Microphone

A microphone is used by the voice recorder. Keep the small aperture [7] clear when recording a vocal comment.

Rear View

[9]

Camera Lens

Keep the camera lens [8] clear when taking pictures or recording videos.

Loudspeaker

As a multi-media device, MobileMapper includes a highquality loudspeaker [9] used by any voice-based software application.

USB Data Connector

Use this connector [10] to secure the Magellan USB Data cable onto the receiver. The MobileMapper 6’s USB port is used exclusively for a connection to a computer via Microsoft ActiveSync.

Battery Compartment

The receiver uses two standard AA batteries, whether rechargeable or not. To access the battery compartment [11], loosen the quarter-turn finger screw [12].

Side View (Left) Flashlight Button

The flashlight button [13] has two functions:

• Screen backlight: Press the button shortly to change the screen backlight setting. There are five different backlight levels (off, low, medium, high, very high). Each new short press on the button allows you to select the next backlight

level.

• Flashlight: A long press on this button (about two seconds) will indefinitely turn on the flashlight. Orientate the receiver accordingly to use the flashlight. To turn it off, hold the button pressed until it goes out.

Hold Slide Switch

Setting the Hold slide switch [14]* to “HOLD” freezes the screen and makes the stylus and buttons unusable. Use this button to suspend the use of the receiver and protect it from any accidental action.

External Antenna Input

Use the external antenna input [15]* to connect an external antenna to the receiver. When an external antenna is connected, the built-in antenna is automatically disconnected from the receiver input.
