Magellan GPS ColorTRAK 61
Commonly Asked Questions
Does the receiver adjust itself for daylight savings time?
No. You need to reset the time for changes in your area. (see Changing
Time Display).
Will my receiver function correctly in the year 2000?
Absolutely. Even though the last two digits of the year are displayed, the
full year designator is stored in memory.
Why won’t the receiver accept the coordinates I am inputting?
The most common cause is that you are trying to enter coordinates that
are in degrees/minutes while your receiver is set to degrees/minutes/
seconds. Because the last two digits in degrees/minutes is in hundredths
(00-99) and degrees/minutes/seconds can be no higher than 59 (00-59),
inputting a number higher than 59 while in deg/min/sec results in an
error and the receiver does not accept the entry.
Can I use NiCad batteries in my GPS ColorTRAK?
Yes. However, the battery life of your GPS ColorTRAK will be dimin-
ished as well as the possibility of an incorrect reading on the battery life
gauge with the use of NiCad batteries.
Can I attach my GPS ColorTRAK to external power?
Yes. However, this requires the optional external power cable available
from your dealer or Magellan Systems.
Why doesn’t the temperature reading match the external temperature?
The reason for a different temperature reading is due to solar heat or
heat from your hand as you hold the unit. These factors can cause an
increase in the temperature. You can reset your receiver to its factory
settings for a more accurate reading (see Setting Temperature Calibration).
