- - 3 4 Operation 4.1 Hardware Description The PowerPack for Earthmate GPS with Bluetooth 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 Bluetooth & UART transmitting status Description LED1 Color and Action Bluetooth Active UART Active Blue(Bluetooth status) Yes No Yellow(UART transmitting status) No Yes <Note>When you use RS232 DB9 cable to connect PowerPack and enable the UART transmission, Bluetooth function will disable and the LED 1 only shows yellow. LED2 Lithium Battery Status&Charge LED Description LED2 Color and Action Battery Charged Low Powered Dark No No Green Solid Yes No Red No Yes 4.2 Turn on/off Notice You have to install the Earthmate GPS receiver to PowerPack device before the PowerPack for Earthmate GPS with
- - 4Bluetooth operation. Turn on To turn on the receiver, please switch the power slide switch to “ON” side. You can see the LED1 flash blue color once and wait a moment (about 10 seconds) to turn on the power. At the same time LED1 will flash blue to wait Bluetooth connection. Turn off To turn off the receiver, please switch the power slide switch to “OFF” side. You can see the all LED dark. 4.3 Charging Low Power The left LED(LED 2) indicator will show red when Lithium-Ion battery power becomes low. Charging The left LED(LED 2) indicator will turn green when the battery is being charged. When fully charged, the green 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. 4.6 PIN CODE The PIN code means Personal Identification Number for Bluetooth device. 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.

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 Delorme Powerpack for Earthmate GPS with Bluetooth 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 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.
