Reference Section
This section explains the various functions of your receiver and is organized
by function or topic rather than by menu. To perform a given function,
refer to the Table of Contents and the Menu Cross Reference Guide in
order to quickly locate that section.
General Usage
The receiver is used to compute coordinate positions which are stored as
named waypoints and used to create routes. Waypoints can be viewed,
edited, and projected to create new waypoints, or deleted. Routes can be
created, activated, deactivated, reversed, edited and cleared. This section
covers these and other functions which will enable you to take full
advantage of your receivers capabilities.
Turning the Receiver On
Press the POWER key and hold for three seconds. If the batteries are
installed correctly or the external power is properly connected, the
copyright and Magellan displays will quickly flash on the screen, followed
by the POSITION screen (if the unit has been initialized) or by the message
UNIT IS NOT INITIALIZED PRESS ENTER TO INTIALIZE. (See section on
First Time Use - Initializing the Receiver.")
If these screens do not appear, please check that the battery installation
and/or external power is properly connected and turned on.
Turning the Receiver Off
To turn the receiver off, press the POWER key. The POWER DOWN
screen is displayed for five seconds. Pressing the POWER key again
before the counter reaches 1 will cause the receiver to turn off
immediately; pressing any other key will stop the receiver from turning
off.
