Magellan eXplorist 210

Reference Manual

*** Warnings ***

IN THE INTEREST OF SAFETY, DO NOT USE THIS NAVIGATION DEVICE WHILE DRIVING A

VEHICLE.

Please do not try and change any settings on the Magellan eXplorist while driving. Come to a

complete stop or have 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 respon-

sible for the accuracy and maintenance of the GPS network.The accuracy of position fixes can be

affected by the periodic adjustments to GPS satellites made by the U.S. government and is sub-

ject to change in accordance with the Department of Defense civil GPS user policy and the Fed-

eral 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.
