Safety

The Magellan eXplorist is a navigation aid designed to assist you in arriving at your selected 
destination. When using the Magellan eXplorist, these safety rules must be followed to prevent 
accidents that can result in injury or death to yourself or others:

IN THE INTERESTS OF SAFETY, DO NOT USE THIS NAVIGATION DEVICE WHILE 
DRIVING A VEHICLE.

Please do not try to change any settings on the Magellan eXplorist while driving. Come to a 
complete stop or ask 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 

responsible 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 subject to change in accordance with the Department of Defence civil GPS user policy and 
the Federal 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.

No part of this guide may be reproduced or transmitted in any form or by any means, electronic 
or mechanical, including photocopying and recording, for any purpose other than the purchaser’s 
personal use without the prior written permission of MiTAC Digital Corporation.
