Commonly Asked Questions

Does the receiver adjust itself for daylight savings time?
No. You need to reset the time for changes in your area. (see Changing
Time Display).
Will my receiver function correctly in the year 2000?
Yes. Even though the last two digits of the year are displayed, the full
year designator is stored in memory.
Why won't the receiver accept the coordinates I am inputting?
The most common cause is that you are trying to enter coordinates that
are in degrees/minutes while your receiver is set to degrees/minutes/
seconds. Because the last two digits in degrees/minutes is in
hundredths (00-99) and degrees/minutes/seconds can be no higher than
59 (00-59), inputting a number higher than 59 while in deg/min/sec
results in an error and the receiver does not accept the entry.
Can I use NiCad batteries in my MAP 410?
Yes. However, the battery life of your MAP 410 will be diminished as
well as the possibility of an incorrect reading on the battery life gauge
with the use of NiCad batteries.
Can I attach my MAP 410 to external power?
Yes. However, this requires the optional external power cable available
from your dealer or Magellan Corporation. See the Accessories section
of this manual for more information.
You say my receiver should work for 12 hours on four batteries, mine
doesn't last that long?
There can be two reasons. The first, and most common, reason is that
you have the display backlight on. The light increases the drain on the
batteries causing the decrease in battery life. The second reason is that
you are using NiCad batteries. As mentioned before, while your MAP
410 will operate on NiCad batteries, the battery life is diminished.
