1. Introduction
With the help of the Nokia Wireless GPS Module you can
determine your current position and direction easily. The
GPS module is a battery operated device that uses
Bluetooth technology to communicate positioning
information to compatible mobile phones, PCs, PDAs and
other devices.
Read this user’s guide carefully before using the GPS
module. Check also http://www.nokia.com/support or
your local Nokia Web site for the latest version of this
guide, additional information, downloads, and services
related to your Nokia product.
■Global Positioning System
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a worldwide radio
navigation system that includes 24 satellites and their
LD1W_Ilmari_legal.fm Page 8 Thursday, October 7, 2004 9:50 AM
Introduction
9
ground stations that monitor the operation of the
satellites.
A GPS terminal (such as the Nokia Wireless GPS Module)
receives low-power radio signals from the satellites and
measures the travel time of the signal. From the travel
time, the GPS terminal can calculate its location to the
accuracy of +/- 25 metres. In optimal conditions, the
accuracy may be within a few metres.
The accuracy can be affected by poor satellite geometry.
The more satellites the GPS module can "see", the better
the accuracy. The internal antenna of the GPS module,
which is located on the same side as the Nokia logo,
should be facing upwards for proper functioning. Note
also that some car windshields and windows may contain
metal, for example, for heat reflection or defogging
purposes. This may block or attenuate the satellite signal.
The availability and quality of GPS signals may also be
affected by buildings and natural obstacles as well as
weather conditions. Therefore, the GPS should not be
LD1W_Ilmari_legal.fm Page 9 Thursday, October 7, 2004 9:50 AM

used for precise location measurement, and you should
never rely solely on location data from the GPS module.
In addition, the GPS determines your direction on the
basis of your movement. Therefore, the GPS cannot
detect which way you are facing if you are not moving.
Note: The Global Positioning System is operated
by the United States government, which is solely
responsible for accuracy and maintenance of the
system. The accuracy of location data can be
affected by adjustments to GPS satellites made
by the United States government and is subject
to change with the United States Department of
Defense civil GPS policy and the Federal
Radionavigation Plan.
Warning! This GPS module does not support
emergency location service (E911).

■Bluetooth wireless technology
The Bluetooth technology makes it possible to connect
compatible communication devices without using cables.
Please refer to the user’s guide of your phone for a more
detailed description of Bluetooth technology.
■Bluetooth passcode
You need a Bluetooth passcode for pairing the GPS
module with a compatible device. The passcode is 0000.
■External antenna
Sometimes the performance of the GPS module may be
unsatisfactory because of nearby obstacles blocking the
satellite signals. The performance of the GPS module may
be improved by using an external antenna with a male
MCX-connector and an input voltage of 3V.
Plug the external antenna into its connector (5) on the
GPS module. See Overview starting from page 12.

4. Battery information
Your GPS module is powered by a rechargeable battery.
Take good care of the battery and follow the guidelines
below.
• The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds
of times but it will eventually wear out. When the
operating time is noticeably shorter than normal,
contact your nearest qualified service facility and
change the battery.
• Use only batteries approved by the manufacturer and
recharge your battery only with the chargers
approved by the manufacturer. Unplug the charger
when not in use. Do not leave the battery connected
to a charger for longer than a week, since
overcharging may shorten its lifetime. If left unused a
fully charged battery will discharge itself over time.
LD1W_Ilmari_legal.fm Page 26 Thursday, October 7, 2004 9:50 AM
Battery information
27
• Temperature extremes can affect the ability of your
battery to charge.
• Use the battery only for its intended purpose.
• Never use any charger or battery which is damaged.
• Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental
short-circuiting can occur when a metallic object
(coin, clip or pen) causes direct connection of the +
and - terminals of the battery (metal strips on the
battery), for example, when you carry a spare battery
in your pocket or purse. Short-circuiting the terminals
may damage the battery or the connecting object.
• Leaving the GPS module in hot or cold places, such as
in a closed car in summer or winter conditions, will
reduce the capacity and lifetime of the battery.
Always try to keep the battery between 15°C and 25°C
(59°F and 77°F). A GPS module with a hot or cold
battery may temporarily not work, even when the
battery is fully charged. The performance of batteries
