Quick Start Guide

Meridian Series GPS Receivers

This quick start Guide will provide you

with the information needed to get

started and basic functions of the

Magellan Meridian. Please refer to the

Adobe Acrobat file supplied on the CD-

ROM that came with your Meridian for

additional references information.

Introduction

Welcome and congratulations on your purchase of the Magellan Meridian

GPS receiver. The Meridian has all the features that a sailor, fisherman,

hiker, hunter, or any person involved with outdoor recreational activities has

come to expect from a Magellan GPS receiver. In addition to these features,

the Meridian offers the ability to display your local on detailed city maps

providing you with a complete navigation tool that will last you for years to

come.

Magellan has been a leader in the hand-held GPS maker since introducing

the world's first commercial, hand-held GPS receiver in 1989. Since that

time Magellan has continued to equip the outdoorsman and consumer

markets with navigational receivers, all the way from the first GPS receiver,

to automotive receivers with turn-by-turn routing capabilities.

Setting Up the Meridian

Setting up the Meridian is a simple two-step process: installing the batteries

and initializing the Meridian.

Installing the Batteries

The Magellan Meridian users two AA batteries that are installed from the

back through the battery cover. You can expect to get up to 14 hours of

usage on two AA batteries with the backlight turned off. Using the

backlight will shorten the battery life significantly. With the backlight on

continuously, you can expect to get approximately 6 hours of usage from

two AA batteries.

Initialization for First Time Use

To remove the battery cover, push

the two buttons on the cover fully to

the left and lift the battery cover

away from the receiver. Insert the

new batteries as shown, making sure

that the batteries are installed with

the correctly polarity.

Replace the cover and push the two

buttons fully to the right. Verify that

the covers is locked in place.

How much time do I have to replace the batteries?

Any waypoints or routes you have created and stored in

perma

nent memory. Present position and time data is not

stored in permanent memory but will be held in memory

for at least 12 hours without batteries installed.

Always turn the Meridian off before removing the

batteries or turning off external power. Failure to do so

can cause loss or corruption of data.

The Meridian will walk you through the process of setting up the receiver

for first time use. This procedure is commonly referred to as "Initializing

the Receiver". The purpose of this initialization is to provide the Meridian

with a general knowledge of its approximate location.

This may seem a little confusing at first as why does a device that is used to

compute its position need to know where it's at? The Meridian uses

information from the GPS satellites that orbit the earth and if the Meridian

has an approximate idea as to its location, it will refer to the almanac it has

in memory to select what satellites are overhead. From this information, the

meridian can then select the satellites that will give it the best information

for computing its location. Under normal use, the Meridian will save the last

position it calculated and use that position the next time it is turned on.

However, when the Meridian is new ( or when memory has been completely

erased), the Meridian has no last position information. Thus, it can either

start polling the satellites to see which ones are overhead or you can provide

it with your approximate location allowing the Meridian to begin computing

the initial position, known as "first fix".

Note: You can skip the initialization process by pressing the key

anytime after selecting the language you want the Meridian to use the

agreeing to the Warning Page. If the Meridian is able to collect satellite data

( i.e., have a clear view of the sky) it will begin to self initialize. This could

take anywhere from 3 to 8 minutes to compute its initial position.

Follow these instructions to initialize the Meridian.

Step 1: Turn the Meridian On

Press

The Meridian turns on and displays the start-up

Screen, followed by the language selection screen.

Step 2: Select Language

Use the Up/Down arrows to move the highest to the

language that you want the screens to be displayed in.

With the desire language highlighted, press

Step 3: Accept Warning and Begin Initialization

Step 4: Select Your Region and Area

Step 5: Enter the Time and Date

The warning screen is displayed. This Screen will be

displayed for 10 seconds and if the key has not been

pressed, the Meridian will shut off.

If you understand and agree to the warning presented, press

The Meridian displays a message box indicating that the

receiver needs to be initialized.

Press

Use to highlight your general region

Press

Use to highlight your area.

Press

Entering Data. When entering data in the Meridian, you sometimes need to

use the arrow key to enter the values. The following diagrams explains how

the arrow keys are used.

Editing

Moves the cursor block left or right

Pressing right arrow results in:

Increment the value up or down.

Pressing up arrow result in :

Step 6: compute First Fix

Enter Local Time. The cursor appears in the time

field, waiting for you to input your local time. Set

your local time using the arrow keys. Be sure that you

set the AM/PM indicator.

When the time is correct , press

Enter Date. The last piece of information needed is

the date. Using the arrows keys, enter the present date.

Press .

All the information that the Meridian needs to speed

up the pr

ocess of computing its fix has been entered

and the Done button is highlighted.

The complete the initialization process, press

Optional Setup Functions :

There are two additional options that you may want to set up prior to using

your Meridian GPS receiver. Contrast and NAV Units.

Contrast. To set the contrast, press . Use the Up/Down arrows to

highlight "Contrast " and press .

NAV Units. You can select the units of measure that Meridian will use;

Miles/Yards/MPH, Miles/Feet/MPH (default), Nautical Miles/Feet/Knots or

Kilometers/Kilometers per hour.

Use the Up/Down arrows to highlight the unit of measure that you want and

press .

Press to return to the last screen viewed.

This completes the set up for your Meridian GPS receiver. The next chapter

will describe the basic operation and use of the Meridian as a navigation

tool.

Basic Operation

The Satellite Status screen is displayed and the Meridian

begins acquiring the data from the satellites. Once the first

position fix has been computed you can begin using all of

the functions found in your Meridian GPS receiver.

Use the Left/Right arrows to change the contrast to a level

that provides the best display of the four bars displayed

below the slide bar

. When you are satisfied with the

contrast , press .

To change the Nav Units of Measure press . Use the

Up/Down arrows to highlight "Setup" and press . Use

the Up/Down Arrows to highlight " NAV Units" and press

For many of you this will be your first introduction into using a GPS

receiver as a navigational tool. With all of the features and functions

provided with the Meridian, it may seem a bit intimidating at first. Don't

worry. There are only a few things you need to know to use the Meridian.

They will be discussed here in detail. Other features and functions can be

found in the References Section of the User Manual.
