Using The Explorist For The First Time - Magellan eXplorist XL Reference Manual

Starting Up

Using the eXplorist for the First Time

Turn the eXplorist on. Press the Power button. When the Startup screen is
displayed, press ENTER.
Select Language. When you turn on the eXplorist for the first time you are
given the option of selecting one of the ten languages that will be used.
You can change the language selection at any time by accessing Menu >
Preferences > Languages.
Tip: If you accidentally change the language and you can't read the text and
need to change it back, press the NAV button until the Satellite Status
screen is displayed. Press MENU. Use the Arrow joystick to highlight the
fourth line and press ENTER. Use the Arrow joystick to highlight the fifth
line and press ENTER. The Language Select screen will be displayed.
Read Warning. When you agree to the warning statement, press ENTER to
continue.
Compute Initial Position. For this operation, it is best if you are outside and
have a clear, unobstructed view of the sky. Without a clear view, this will
take much longer and could result in the eXplorist being unable to compute
the initial position automatically.
The eXplorist begins to compute your initial position. This may take a few
minutes as it is doing a cold start.
Normally, when you first turn the eXplorist on it will compute your position
in a manner of seconds as it is able to do a warm start. (An explanation of
cold start vs. warm start is explained following this section.)
The Satellite Status screen is displayed, showing you the progress of the
collection of satellite data.
