Magellan MG-6060 User Manual

Program the Magellan console remotely or on-site using the 
WinLoad Installer Upload/Download Software for Windows®. For 
more information, contact your local Paradox Distributor or visit 
our Web site at www.paradox.ca. If you are using the WinLoad 
software, you must program the features explained on page 33.

Please refer to WinLoad’s Online Help for more 
information on using WinLoad.

Use the built-in keypad to access Magellan’s programming 
mode. 

Use the supplied Magellan Programming Guide to keep 
track of which sections were programmed and how. 

To access programming mode:

1.

Press and hold the [0] key.

2.

Enter your [

] or [

].

3.

Enter the 3-digit [

] you wish to program.

4.

Enter the required [

].

There are two methods that can be used to enter data when in 
programming mode; Single Digit Data Entry and Feature Select 
Programming methods.

After entering programming mode, some sections will require 
that you enter decimal values from 000 to 255. Other sections 
will require that you enter hexadecimal values from 0 to F. The 
required data will be clearly indicated in this manual as well as in 
the Magellan Programming Guide. When entering the final digit 
in a section, Magellan will automatically save and advance to the 
next section. Table 1 (see below) shows the keys and their 
equivalent decimal and/or hexadecimal value.

After entering certain sections, eight options will be displayed 
where each option from [1] to [8] represents a specific feature or 
option. To manipulate the options: 

•

Press the key corresponding to the desired option and the 
option number will appear in the LCD display. This means 
the option is ON. Press the key again to remove the digit 
from the LCD display, thereby, turning OFF the option. 

•

Press  the  [*] key to set all eight options to OFF. Press the 
keys until the current section’s options are set. When the 
options are set, press the [#] key to save and advance to the 
next section.

•

Press  the  [*] key twice to exit without changing any data.

The Paradox Memory Keys (PMC-3) are very useful when 
multiple Magellan consoles are to be programmed identically.

Rather then programming each console by entering its 
programming mode and then scrolling through programming 
sections, use a memory key to program each console. The 
programming of a console with a memory key takes 
approximately three seconds.

There are two actions that can be performed with a memory key.

To download the data of a memory key into a console:

1. Remove power from the Magellan console (AC and battery) 

and connect the memory key to the 5-pin connector on the 
left side of the back of the console (see Figure 10 on page 9).

2. Re-apply both AC and battery power to the console.
3. Press the [

] key and Magellan will begin downloading the 

data from the memory key.

To copy the contents of a console into the memory key.

1. Remove power from the Magellan console (AC and battery) 

and connect the memory key to the 5-pin connector on the 
left side of the back of the console (see Figure 10 on page 9).

2. Re-apply both AC and battery power to the console.
3. Press the [

] key and then the [

] key. Magellan will 

begin copying its data into the memory key.
