Using The Magellan Explorist; Installing The Batteries; Replacing The Batteries; Setting The Battery Type - Magellan eXplorist 510 User Manual

The Magellan eXplorist GPS receiver is designed to be easy enough for the casual 'explorer' as well as having
all of the advance features the 'enthusiast' requires. This chapter provides information on the basics of using
the Magellan eXplorist GPS receiver.

Installing the Batteries

The Magellan eXplorist GPS receiver uses two
AA batteries that provides 16 hours of normal use.
(See the section on Power Settings for details as to
how to extend the battery life.) Lithium, alkaline or
rechargeable batteries can be used but both batteries
need to be of the same type and should be defined
in the Tools > Power function in the receiver (see
Setting Battery Type).

Replacing the Batteries

1.
Remove the battery door by raising the
arm on the battery door lock and turning it
counter clockwise for one-quarter of a turn.
2.
Remove the battery door. The battery
door pivots from the bottom. The
pivot points will release when the top
of the battery door is being raised.
