4 Operation

4.1 Hardware Description

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:

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

4.2 Turn on/off

Turn on To turn on the receiver, press the power button on the topside

briefly (0.5 seconds). The right LED(LED 2) indicator will flash

briefly. The left LED(LED 1) indicator will start flashing. Note:

When the Receiver is in the cradle, it will switch on when power

to the cradle is switched on (to synchronize with vehicle ignition).

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. Note: When the receiver is in the cradle, the

receiver will switch off if the power to the cradle is interrupted or

switched off (to synchronize with vehicle ignition).

4.3 Charging

Low Power The left 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 right 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 left LED(LED 1) indicator will flash if there is no

communication between the receiver and another device.

Connected The left 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 right LED 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.

5. Notices

5.1 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.

5.2 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.

5.3 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

opening in the heat reflective shield, indicated by a black outline.

technical or editorial errors or omissions contained herein; nor for incidental or consequential damages

resulting from the performance or use of this material. This document contains information protected by

5.5 Battery

This product uses a Lithium-Ion battery. Please charge fully before first use. Operation in low (below 0

　C/32　F or high (over 40　C/110　F) 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 60　C(140　F). 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.

5.6 FCC

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,

pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against

harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio

frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful

interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in

a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television

reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to

correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

--Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

--Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

--Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is

connected.

--Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

CAUTION

Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the grantee of this device could void the user’s

authority to operate the equipment.
