Cold vs. Warm Start. When the eXplorist is turned on, one of the first things it does is

to find out which satellites are overhead, along with their relative position. It does this

by using a built-in satellite almanac. This almanac, when given the current date, time

and approximate position, can provide the eXplorist with information on which satellites

are overhead and their approximate relationship to the eXplorist. Now with information

on satellite availability, the eXplorist can begin setting its internal satellite channels to

receive satellite transmissions.

Cold Start. Cold start is defined as when the eXplorist does not have an

approximate position to use when referring to its almanac. This can occur when:

• The eXplorist is turned on for the first time after purchase. The memory is

cleared prior to shipping so that any position that may have been in the

eXplorist is set to a null value.

• If you have cleared the eXplorist's memory, (found in

Preferences) all of

the memory will be cleared and the last computed position will be set to a

null value.

• If you have traveled with your eXplorist with it turned off, the last position

saved may be so far away that when the eXplorist begins looking for

satellites, the ones it is expecting to find are not there. (As a rule of

thumb, any time you move for more than 500 mi [804.7 km] with the

eXplorist turned off, there is a good chance that it will start up using a

cold start.

A cold start should take no more than 2-3 minutes to compute the initial position

fix.

Warm Start. Warm starts are when the last position calculated before the

eXplorist was turned off is still in memory and you are in the same approximate

position. Most of the time that the eXplorist is turned on, it will be in its warm-

start mode. With a clear view of the sky, the eXplorist should compute its

position in a matter of seconds.

Conclusion

This concludes the initial startup procedure for the Magellan eXplorist 400. Once the Map

screen is displayed, you have successfully initialized the eXplorist and are ready to go.

Now would be a good time to familiarize yourself with the dif

ferent navigation screens

(using the

NAV button) and to set any preferences that may be different from the factory

defaults.
