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:   
<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 
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 
(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. 
5.4 Important 
The information in this document is subject to change without notice. No liability shall be assumed for 
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 
copyright.  
5.5 Battery 
This product uses a Lithium-Ion battery. Please charge fully before first use. Operation in low (below 0º
C/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.
