Chapter 11: Navigation Basic Operation
11.1 Turning the Magellan RoadMate On Out of the Box
Slide the
RESET
switch, located at the top of the unit (see “Top View” on page 6) to position
“1”. If power is connected properly or if the battery is charged sufficiently, the Magellan screen
will appear followed by the Warning screen. To comply with the warnings, press
OK
. Next, the
Quick Tips screen will appear. It is recommended to view the Quick Tips to better familiarize
yourself with the functionality of the Magellan RoadMate. Otherwise, select
ESC
to skip viewing
the Quick Tips at this time. By default, the navigation application will launch and the
Destination screen will appear.
11.1.1 Suspend Power or “Sleep” Mode
While the
RESET
switch is in position “1”, you can suspend power or, put the unit in “sleep” mode by pressing the
SUSPEND
key (see “Front View” on page 4). While in “sleep” mode, the unit will turn off. Route guidance will resume
normally when the unit wakes up. Under normal operating conditions, battery power can be maintained for up to two weeks
while in “sleep” mode. It is recommended that you use the Suspend key rather than switching the unit off in order to acquire
the GPS signal faster upon resuming normal operation.
11.1.2 Power Management
The Magellan RoadMate can be configured to automatically go into “sleep” mode after a specified amount of time. Press the
MENU
key on the unit then, select
System Settings
and select
Power Management
. Select the
Auto Power Off
time and
then, select
ESC
. For more information on Power Management, see “Power Management” on page 87.
11.2 Resetting the Magellan RoadMate
To turn power off completely, or to reset the unit should it stop responding, slide the
RESET
switch to position “0”. Wait for
approximately 10 seconds and then slide the
RESET
switch to position “1”. If a route was active at the time the unit was
reset, powering the unit back on will prompt you to resume, or cancel the active route.
11.3 Adjusting the Volume
The
VOLUME CONTROL
lever is located at the top of the Magellan RoadMate (see “Top View” on page 6). Use the lever to
set the volume of the speaker to a desired level. The volume level indicator will appear on screen.
11.4 Repeating the Last Command
While routing to a destination, if you missed the last verbal command, you can repeat it by pressing the
VOLUME CONTROL
lever down.
11.5 Making Selections

the screen in the location of the item you wish to select.
You can also use the
NAVIGATION
key (see “Front View” on page 4) to scroll around the screen and highlight the item to
select. When the desired item is highlighted, press the
ENTER
key to select the item.
