Magellan 110 User Manual

The Magellan eXplorist GPS receiver is designed to be easy enough for the casual explorer as well as having all 

of the advanced features the enthusiast requires.   This chapter provides information on the basics of using the 

Magellan eXplorist GPS receiver. 

Use of the Joystick to Select or ENTER.  Throughout this manual you will be asked to ‘select’ a button or icon.

joystick provides the ENTER command to the receiver.

The Magellan eXplorist GPS receiver uses two 

AA batteries that provides 18 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).

Remove the battery door by raising the arm 

on the battery door lock and turning it counter 

clockwise for one-quarter of a turn.

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.   

Install two AA batteries as shown.

Replace the battery door by first aligning the 

pivot tabs at the bottom of the door with the 

receiver.  

Lower the battery door until it seats firmly 

against the receiver.  (Note:  you may need to 

turn the battery door lock counter clockwise to 

allow the door to seat against the back of the 

receiver.)

Turn the battery door lock clockwise, locking 

the door in place.  

You should set the battery type whenever you put in 

batteries of a different type.  Battery life indicators 

may not be accurate when using batteries that have 

not set in Battery Type.
