User manual MOBILE CROSSING BLUETOOTH GPS

[. . . ] The battery status lamp on the GPS will indicate that the battery is being charged. The vehicle charger includes a step down regulator to provide 5 Volts to charge the GPS. The unit can remain plugged into the charger while in operation which will provide unlimited use. Installation and Setup A suitable location for the GPS will need to be determined. A Velcro strip is included that can be used to secure the unit in a vehicle while still providing portable use when needed. [. . . ] A vehicle power converter / recharger is included. Using the GPS for the first time The very first time a GPS is used in a totally new area it will take a little longer than usual to get a location fix. Any GPS aware application can be used to perform this initialization but it is best if the application has some sort of GPS status display. Pocket PC and PC users will find the included GPSInfo command perfect for this task. Take the GPS unit and the computer outside and select a location with a good sky view. The Bluetooth lamp on the GPS (Blue on the left as shown on the next page) blinks 11 slowly when searching for a connection and blinks quicker once a connection is established. The effective range of the Bluetooth connection is up to 33 feet but don't be surprised if it is less. 5. The GPS Status lamp on the receiver will light whenever the unit is turned on. Observe the display in the application to determine if the receiver is able to communicate to the application and is able to see some satellites. A receiver in a totally new location can take 5 to 10 minutes to determine its first location. When a location fix has been obtained the satellite reception lamp on the receiver will begin to flash and the application should report that that the position has been obtained. The unit is now ready and can be used as desired. Tips Do not cover the internal antenna with anything. Turn off power when inside to avoid long lock times later due to the GPS giving up and thinking it has to initialize itself. Get a position lock before driving off or entering the woods where reception may be more difficult. If you have trouble connecting to the GPS, be sure that some other program is not using it. 13 When hiking, hold the unit horizontally with the antenna up. If you put the unit in your pocket, be sure that the antenna is faced out. Some cars have a metalized sunscreen embedded in the windshield which blocks the GPS signals. An external antenna placed on the outside of the car will solve this problem. Suitable locations for the antenna include the roof, the hood, the trunk area, or the top of the fenders. The antenna lead in wire can usually be routed into the car via spaces between the parts on the car such as within a door jamb or trunk lid. Most external antennas have a magnet in their base to permit attachment to the desired location. This GPS unit requires an antenna with an MMCX connector and is designed to work with 2. 5 Volts. You may want to consider the back shelf under the rear window as a GPS location, especially if the windshield reception is blocked.
