4.1. Hardware Description
.
- - 5
The Bluetooth GPS has two LED light which each has two colors. One is GPS & Charge status
LED, that is named LED 2, and the other is Bluetooth & low power status LED, that is named LED 1. The
status table of LED shows as follows:
<State Table of LED>
LED1
BT & Low Power LED Description
LED1 Color and Action Bluetooth Active Low Power
Blue Flash Yes No
Purple–Red Flash Yes Yes
LED2
GPS & Charge LED Description
LED2 Color and Action Battery Charged Position Fixed
Dark No No
Green Flash No Yes
Orange Yes No
Orange-Red Flash Yes Yes
<Note1>When the Bluetooth is active and LED 1 lights, it shows Bluetooth RF function. As long as the
Bluetooth RF is transmitting the LED light will flash. When Bluetooth doesn’t connect the other Bluetooth
device, the LED 1 will be flash periodically. Therefore, it means that it broadcasts message to connect the
other device with Bluetooth function. If it connects the other Bluetooth device and transmits data, LED 1 will
flash very quickly and look like bright.
<Note 2>When the battery is charging, LED 1 will show purple-red color and flash. The reason that
Bluetooth is working cause LED 1 purple-red color. If the GPS receiver go to the end of charge, LED 1 will
show blue color and flash.

4.2. Turn on/off
Turn on To turn on the receiver, press the power button on the topside briefly (0.5 seconds).
The left LED(LED 2) indicator will flash briefly. The right LED (LED 1) indicator will
start flashing.
Turn off To turn off the receiver, press the power button on the topside for 3 seconds. The
LED indicator will flash briefly before switching off the receiver.
4.3. Charging
Low Power The right LED(LED 1) indicator will turn RED (normally BLUE) when battery power
becomes low. Connect the receiver to a powers source to continue operation and to
recharge the battery.
Charging The left LED(LED 2) indicator will turn RED (or ORANGE) when the battery is
being charged. When fully charged, the RED indicator will switch off.
4.4. Bluetooth Communication
Waiting to connect The right LED(LED 1) indicator will flash if there is no communication between the
receiver and another device.
Connected The right LED(LED 1) indicator will turn to continuous lighting when the receiver is
connected through the wireless link with another device.
4.5. GPS
Navigating The left LED(LED 2) will flash GREEN (or ORANGE when charging) if the receiver
is able to determine the current position.
4.6. PIN CODE
The PIN code means Personal Identification Number for Bluetooth device and it is also called as
Pass Key. The Bluetooth GPS receiver has the default PIN Code, and is “0000”. Generally speaking, there
are two steps in Bluetooth connecting. One is pairing process, the other is link process. If you need PIN
code to pairing and connect, you can use the default pin code, “0000” to connect Bluetooth device. Our
GPS receiver belongs to non-safety connecting, you can use in general application to finish connecting.

6. Notices
6.1. Global Positioning System
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated and maintained by the Government of the
United States of America who are responsible for the availability and the accuracy of the system. Changes in the
operation, availability and accuracy may affect the operation of your GPS receiver.
6.2. Aircraft and Hospitals
Use of devices with an antenna is prohibited on most aircraft and in many hospitals. The
TomTom Wireless GPS receiver is a receiving and transmitting device with two antenna’s and should not be
used in these environments.
6.3. Heat Reflective Shields
Modern vehicles may have a heat reflective shield in the windshield, preventing proper GPS
signal reception if the receiver is placed under the windshield. To get proper reception:
(a) Use an external antenna, or
(b) Place the receiver in a different position, or
(c) Attach the cradle to the windshield behind the rearview mirror, where many vehicles have an opening in the
heat reflective shield, indicated by a black outline.

6.5 Battery
This product uses a Lithium-Ion battery. Please charge fully before first use. Operation in low (below 0ºC/32ºF
or high (over 40ºC/110ºF) temperatures will affect power supply efficiency and the ability to charge the battery.
All Lithium-Ion batteries will experience power supply efficiency deterioration over time even if not used and
have a limited life expectancy. Permanently powering the battery will reduce life expectancy. Do not use your
product in a humid, wet and/or corrosive environment. Do not put, store or leave your product in or near a heat
source or in a high temperature location and do not expose it to temperature over 60ºC(140ºF). Failure to
follow these guidelines may cause the Lithium-Ion battery to become hot, explode or ignite and
cause injury and/or damage. THE LITHIUM-ION BATTERY CONTAINED IN THE
PRODUCT MUST BE RECYCLED OR DISPOSED OF PROPERLY. USE ONLY WITH
SUPPLIED CHARGER(s) AND SUPPLIED AC ADAPTOR FOR BATTERY CHARGING.
