WARNINGS

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 GPS.

The accuracy of position fixes 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 Defense civil GPS user policy and the Federal

Radionavigation Plan.

USE CAUTION

Accuracy can also be affected by poor satellite geometry. When the accuracy

warnings appear on the screen, use the data with extreme caution.

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.
