Chapter 5: Navigation Basic Operation

5.1 Turning the Magellan RoadMate On Out of the Box

Slide the RESET switch, located at the top of the unit (see “Top View” on page 5) to position

“1”. If power is connected properly or if the battery is charged sufficiently, the Magellan screen

will appear followed by the Warning screen. To comply with the warnings, press

OK. Next, the

Quick Tips screen will appear. It is recommended to view the Quick Tips to better familiarize

yourself with the functionality of the Magellan RoadMate. Otherwise, select

ESC to skip viewing

the Quick Tips at this time. By default, the navigation application will launch and the

Destination screen will appear.

5.1.1 Suspend Power or “Sleep” Mode

While the RESET switch is in position “1”, you can suspend power or, put the unit in “sleep” mode by pressing the

SUSPEND key (see “Front View” on page 4). While in “sleep” mode, the unit will turn off. Route guidance will resume

normally when the unit wakes up. Under normal operating conditions, battery power can be maintained for up to two weeks

while in “sleep” mode. It is recommended that you use the Suspend key rather than switching the unit off in order to acquire

the GPS signal faster upon resuming normal operation.

5.1.2 Power Management

The Magellan RoadMate can be configured to automatically go into “sleep” mode after a specified amount of time. Press the

MENU key on the unit then, select System Settings and select Power Management. Select the Auto Power Off time and

then, select

ESC. For more information on Power Management, see “Power Management” on page 72.

5.2 Resetting the Magellan RoadMate

To turn power off completely, or to reset the unit should it stop responding, slide the RESET switch to position “0”. Wait for

approximately 10 seconds and then slide the

RESET switch to position “1”. If a route was active at the time the unit was

reset, powering the unit back on will prompt you to resume, or cancel the active route.

5.3 Adjusting the Volume

The VOLUME CONTROL lever is located at the top of the Magellan RoadMate (see “Top View” on page 5). Use the lever to

set the volume of the speaker to a desired level. The volume level indicator will appear on screen.

5.4 Repeating the Last Command

While routing to a destination, if you missed the last verbal command, you can repeat it by pressing the VOLUME CONTROL

lever down.

5.5 Making Selections

The Magellan RoadMate comes equipped with a touch screen. To make a menu selection, or enter characters, simply touch

the screen in the location of the item you wish to select.

You can also use the

NAVIGATION key (see “Front View” on page 4) to scroll around the screen and highlight the item to

select. When the desired item is highlighted, press the

ENTER key to select the item.
