Chapter 11: Navigation Basic Operation 11.1 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 6) 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. 11.1.1 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. 11.1.2 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 87. 11.2 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. 11.3 Adjusting the Volume The VOLUME CONTROL lever is located at the top of the Magellan RoadMate (see "Top View" on page 6). Use the lever to set the volume of the speaker to a desired level. The volume level indicator will appear on screen. 11.4 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. 11.5 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. 29
