There are “+” and “-” marks on a decal at the bottom of the battery com-
partment. Place the batteries into the compartment  according to the
marks and replace the battery cover. The Explorer is now ready for use.
EXTERNAL POWER
Instead of batteries, the Explorer can operate on 6 to 16 volts DC from
an external power source. To use external power, an adapter cable must
be purchased (model CA-2) that will plug into your vehicle’s cigarette
lighter. To use this cable, simply plug one end into the connector on the
Explorer and the other end into the cigarette lighter.
KEYBOARD
The keyboard has twelve keys. The arrow keys are tied to most of the
features, letting you easily move the plotter’s cursor, navigate through
the menus, make selections from menus, and other tasks.
The WPT key lets you create, save, and recall waypoints and routes. The
MODE key switches the unit between the three major displays: windows,
navigation, and plotter. To select different features, or to modify func-
tions, press the MENU key. The Z-IN and Z-OUT keys zoom-in and zoom-
out your view on the plotter screen. The ENT and EXIT keys let you enter
or erase selections. The PWR key turns both the Eagle Explorer and it’s
lights on and off.
Note: To prevent an accidental power shutdown, you must hold the PWR
key down for a few seconds in order to turn the unit off.
