Description
Front View
Display Screen
The display screen [1] is a large 2.7-inch QVGA color touch
screen.
Keypad, Scroll and Enter Buttons
The keypad [2] consists of the following items:
• ZOOM+ and ZOOM-: Use these buttons to adjust the scale
of the map displayed on the screen (only applicable to
software displaying maps).
• LOG, MENU, ESC buttons: These buttons are specific to
software applications designed to use these buttons. They
have no effect with the standard Windows Mobile utilities,
except for the ESC button in some cases.
The Enter button [3] is used to accept highlighted input and
initiate various functions.
The Scroll button [4] is the ring around the Enter button. It
is used to move the cursor on the screen, from a data field to
the next on a parameter screen, from an option to another in
a menu, from a geographical location to another on a map
screen. Pressing the ring has an effect only in the up, down,
left and right directions.
Stylus and Stylus Holder
The stylus [5] is a short plastic stick, which you can use to
work directly from the touch screen. When not used, the
stylus can conveniently be stored in the receiver by inserting
it into the dedicated holder [5].
Built-in Antenna
The MobileMapper 6 incorporates a built-in antenna [6].
Because of the presence of a built-in antenna, the receiver
should be held properly to optimize satellite reception.
Microphone
A microphone is used by the voice recorder. Keep the small
aperture [7] clear when recording a vocal comment.

Rear View
Camera Lens
Keep the camera lens [8] clear when taking pictures or
recording videos.
Loudspeaker
As a multi-media device, MobileMapper includes a high-
quality loudspeaker [9] used by any voice-based software
application.
USB Data Connector
Use this connector [10] to secure the Magellan USB Data
cable onto the receiver. The MobileMapper 6’s USB port is
used exclusively for a connection to a computer via Microsoft
ActiveSync.
Battery Compartment
The receiver uses two standard AA batteries, whether
rechargeable or not. To access the battery compartment [11],
loosen the quarter-turn finger screw [12].
Side View (Left) Flashlight Button
The flashlight button [13] has two functions:
• Screen backlight: Press the button shortly to change the
screen backlight setting. There are five different backlight
levels (off, low, medium, high, very high). Each new short
press on the button allows you to select the next backlight
level.
• Flashlight: A long press on this button (about two
seconds) will indefinitely turn on the flashlight. Orientate
the receiver accordingly to use the flashlight. To turn it off,
hold the button pressed until it goes out.
Hold Slide Switch
Setting the Hold slide switch [14]* to “HOLD” freezes the
screen and makes the stylus and buttons unusable. Use this
button to suspend the use of the receiver and protect it from
any accidental action.
External Antenna Input
Use the external antenna input [15]* to connect an external
antenna to the receiver. When an external antenna is
connected, the built-in antenna is automatically
disconnected from the receiver input.

Side View (Right) Power Button
Use the Power button [16] to turn on or off the MobileMapper
6. In both cases, a short press is enough to turn on or off the
receiver.
Rather than actually turning off the MobileMapper 6, the
Power button in fact puts the receiver in suspend mode. This
means that when you next turn it on, the receiver will restore
the context in which it was when you last turned it off.
Only complete removal of the internal battery, disconnection
of the external AC adapter or a reset action will actually shut
down the receiver.
SD Card Slot
Gives access to a slot [17]* where you can insert or extract an
SD card.
Earphone Output
A 1/4-inch jack (TRS connector) [18]* used to connect an
earphone to the MobileMapper 6.
Top View
Three-LED Flashlight
This is a powerful white flashlight [19] that can
advantageously be used in dim light conditions. Using
MobileMapper 6 as a flashlight may however be incompatible
with GPS reception, i.e. in the way you hold the receiver.
Reset button
Press the Reset button [20] using the stylus when you need
to perform a software reset. This will re-boot the Windows
Mobile Operating System.
Rubber Flaps
Items [14], [15], [17] and [18] presented above are all
marked with a “*” symbol indicating that a black rubber flap
is used to protect each of them.
To access one of these items, just insert a nail underneath the
flap and pull it open.
