Welcome from the Magellan crew.
With the purchase of a Magellan Trailblazer XL GPS satellite receiver, you
have joined the thousands of people who enjoy using GPS in their profes-
sional and recreational activities.
Since we introduced our first product more than six years ago, Magellan has
established a reputation for product excellence and customer support. Our
customers include sailors, commercial fishermen, pilots, geologists, explor-
ers, surveyors, and the Allied Forces in Desert Storm. Your receiver represents
the next generation of GPS technology—technology that is combined with
our hallmark durability and ease of use, which have evolved over years of field
experience.
With your receiver are two documents: the
Reference Guide
and the
Field
Guide.
Like the Magellan Trailblazer XL, the
Field Guide
is tough and ready
to go where ever your adventures take you. Printed an waterproof
"paper", its purpose is to explain how to operate the receiver— in
any weather. When not in use, the
Field Guide
fits neatly in the
carrying case that is provided with the receiver.
The
Reference Guide,
which you are reading now, provides Back
-
ground information that will give you a deeper technical apprecia-
tion of the receiver and the GPS technology in general.
Where ever your outdoor recreation excursions take you, we hope your
Magellan receiver will add to your fun and safety.
So that your experiences contribute to the next generation of Magellan
receivers, I need to hear from you. All comments will be considered for
incorporation into future products. Address your letters to me at Dept. 3-A.
Yours truly,

Screen
QUICK START
This brief section provides the key presses required to access some features and to
perform some basic operations. Quick Start does not replace other instructions con-
tained in this guide.
To get the fullest use out of your receiver and to interpret the displays, read the Refer-
ence Guide thoroughly.
POWER:
The Trailblazer XL requires three AA batteries for operation and to maintain
memory. The receiver can also be operated from external power (batteries are still
required to provide memory backup). Installing batteries and using external power is
described in
General Maintenance.
TURN THE RECEIVER ON:
Press and release
If batteries are installed correctly or if external power is being used, three displays
quickly appear.
These start-up screens are then replaced with the
LOCATION 1 screen.
The receiver will automatically start looking for sat-
ellites to compute a location fix. This will take up to
20 minutes unless you initialize the receiver.
The receiver is now ready to get a location fix.
GET A LOCATION FIX:
You must be outside to get a location fix. Rotate the antenna so it is vertical, and hold
the receiver at a comfortable angle.
The receiver automatically displays the last-known coordinates an power-on while it
looks for satellites to compute a new fix.
A current fix is displayed when the time and date appear near the bottom of the
screen.

To return to the Location screen from another feature
, press
The Pointer screen Shows the destination (the icon)
and your heading (the arrow). The icon's location
varies in relation to your heading. Keep the icon and
the arrow aligned to stay an course.
SAVE THE LOCATION FIX AS A LANDMARK:
Once the receiver has a fix and the first location fix has been saved as a landmark, start
moving around. When you are at least 100 meters from your first location, try saving
another location fix as a landmark.

USE GOOD JUDGEMENT
This product is an excellent navigation aid, but does not replace the need
for careful orienteering and good judgement. Never rely solely on one
device for navigating.
USE CARE
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the U.S. Government,
which is solely responsible for the accuracy and maintenance of GPS.
The accuracy of position fixes can be affected by the periodic adjustments
to GPS satellites made by the U.S. Government and is subject to change in
accordance with the Department of Defense civil GPS user policy and the
Federal Radionavigation Plan.
USE CAUTION
Accuracy can also be affected by poor satellite geometry. When the
accuracy warnings appear on the screen, use the data with extreme
caution.
USE PROPER ACCESSORIES
Use only Magellan cables and antennas; the use of non-Magellan cables
and antennas may severely degrade performance or damage the receiver,
and will void the warranty.
Your Magellan GPS receiver has the advanced navigation features that experienced
navigators expect, yet is easy enough for the novice navigator to use. This chapter is
broken into four sections. The first section describes the conventions used in this
guide. The others describe the features accessed by the three function keys: SETUP,
LOC, and GOTO. A
Quick Find
Index is also included, to help you locate a specific
topic quickly.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Conventions Used in this Guide.
This guide includes both explanation and proce-
dure. The explanation provides information. The procedure describes which keys to
press to produce a specific result.
When an explanation refers to the receiver's keys, the key name appears in normal
type. When the key is referred to in a procedure, the key's name will be appear in
bold
text.
The key must be pressed to complete the procedure being described.
The receiver has several types of keys. The function keys access the receiver's func-
tions. They are the three keys immediately below the ON/OFF key. The ON/OFF, EN-
TER, and CLEAR keys are are op-
eration keys. They turn the re-
ceiver an and off and save and
delete information. The last
group of keys are the arrow
keys, which are described be-
low.
