3GPS Bluetooth Receiver Installation and Operation Manual NAVMANIt is the owner’s sole responsibility to install and use the GPS Bluetooth Receiver in a manner that will notcause accidents, personal injury or property damage; will not obstruct your view; and will not interferewith the operation of the vehicle or the vehicle safety equipment.Using the GPS Bluetooth Receiver:• The US government is solely responsible for the operation, accuracy and maintenance of the GPSsatellites. The GPS system is subject to changes that will affect the performance and accuracy ofall GPS receivers.• The GPS signals may very occasionally be turned off. This antenna unit will not work if its batteriesare flat. You must guard against these events by always having another way of navigating.• The GPS Bluetooth Receiver complies with CE and FCC standards for radio frequencyinterference. However, the unit receives and generates radio frequency energy. For reliableoperation it must be mounted correctly, as described in this manual.• The performance of the receiver can be affected by the failure of a part, environmental conditionsand improper installation and use.NAVMAN NZ LIMITED DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY FOR ANY USE OF THIS PRODUCT IN A WAY THATMAY CAUSE ACCIDENTS OR DAMAGE OR THAT MAY VIOLATE THE LAW.This manual represents the receiver as at the time of printing.

4GPS Bluetooth Receiver Installation and Operation ManualNAVMAN1 IntroductionThe US Government operates the GPS system.Twenty-four satellites orbiting the earth broadcasttiming signals which are freely available to use. Thepositions of these satellites are constantly changing.The GPS receiver tracks signals from all satellitesvisible above the horizon and uses measurementsfrom all satellites more than 10° above the horizonto calculate exactly where it is on earth. This is calledthe GPS position.A GPS receiver can receive signals from the GPSsatellites when it is almost anywhere on earth.The receiver is accurate even at high speeds andaccelerations.• Extremely long battery life; around 40 hours ofoperation from one set of AAA alkaline batteries.(2 second update, trickle power mode)• No operator setup or adjustment required; theonly operator control is the On/Off switch.• 25 x 25 x 4 mm (1 x 1 x 0.2 in) patch GPSantenna with sensitive 12-channel GPSreceiver chipset.• Available in two versions. These are identicalexcept for resistance to water:The GPS 4500 is fully waterproof and isdesigned to be mounted outdoors, for exampleon the roof of a vehicle.The GPS 4400 is not waterproof and isdesigned to be mounted indoors.• An MCX connector for an external GPSantenna and a connector for an external powersupply (GPS 4400 only).Cleaning and maintenanceClean the receiver with a damp cloth or milddetergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners, petrol or othersolvents.Do not paint the receiver.Bluetooth is an industry standard wireless networkfor linking peripherals to Bluetooth enabled portablecomputers or PDAs. Bluetooth is fast, economicalThe GPS Bluetooth Receiver is a peripheral for aportable computer or PDA which calculates wherethe receiver is on earth. The receiver has:• A GPS antenna and GPS chipset to receiveGPS signals and calculate the GPS position ofthe receiver.• A Bluetooth link to send the GPS position to aportable computer or PDA.The receiver is powered by its own internal batteries.In a typical land navigation application (see below),the GPS Bluetooth Receiver is mounted on a vehicleand sends the GPS position to a portable computeror PDA in the vehicle for use by a navigationapplication.GPSantennaGPS Bluetooth Receiver Portable computer or PDA(Bluetooth enabled)BluetoothlinkBatteriesGPSchipsetRadio signals fromGPS satellitesBluetooth networkradio signalsBluetoothlinkNavigationapplicationand uses little power.

When the blockis removed, it might be a few seconds beforethe receiver calculates GPS positions again.•Pairing: The GPS Bluetooth Receiver willaccept all requests to pair. The password isNAVMAN. However, the unit will not honour thepairing, and will establish a connection withany other Bluetooth device that requests aconnection. This is because there is no way ofmanually cancelling pairing on the GPSBluetooth Receiver.To use the GPS Bluetooth Receiver in a typicalapplication (a portable computer or PDA running anavigation application):1 When the navigation application is started, turnthe GPS Bluetooth Receiver on by pressing thereceiver On/Off switch.2 If the navigation application is closed or theportable computer or PDA moves out of rangeof the receiver (about 10 m (33 ft)), then thereceiver will automatically turn itself off after 2minutes.When the navigation application is restarted,turn the receiver on again by pressing thereceiver On/Off switch.3 If the receiver LED changes from blue to red,change the batteries (see previous page).4 When the navigation application is finishedwith, either press the receiver On/Off switch toturn the receiver off or allow the receiver toautomatically turn itself off after 2 minutes.GPS Bluetooth Receiver operation

8GPS Bluetooth Receiver Installation and Operation ManualNAVMAN5 Installing the GPS Bluetooth ReceiverThe GPS Bluetooth Receiver has several mountingoptions:• Suction cup, for example to attach the unit tothe inside of a vehicle windscreen.• Magnetic mount, to attach the unit to a metalsurface, for example the roof of a vehicle(GPS 4500 only)• Double sided tape, for permanent mounting.• Armband, to attach the receiver to the user’sarm.• Lanyard, for holding the receiver.Locating the GPS Bluetooth ReceiverFind a suitable location for the receiver:• With as good a view of the sky and horizon aspossible. The receiver can be under glass,perspex, fibreglass or fabric, but not undermetal or wood.• Where it will not obstruct your view; and willnot interfere with the operation of the vehicle orthe vehicle safety equipment.• Accessible to change the batteries and operatethe On/Off switch.• Away from any source of electrical interferenceor noise.• Away from excessive vibration or shock.• Within 10 m (33 ft) of the Bluetooth device thatthe unit will connect to.• A GPS 4400 is not waterproof and must bemounted where it will not get wet and wherethere will be no condensation.If the GPS 4400 is mounted in the vehicle, the inside,top of the windscreen is usually a good location.The GPS 4500 is waterproof. If the GPS 4500 ismounted on the vehicle, outside on the roof is usuallya good location because the receiver has a goodview of the sky. A GPS 4500 mounted on the roof willusually have better performance than a GPS 4400mounted in the vehicle, because the metal roof willshield the receiver inside from the GPS signals.TIP: If you are not sure if a location is suitable, mountthe receiver temporarily and check that the receiveroperates properly. Then mount the receiverpermanently.Installing the suction cup mount1 Find a suitable location for the receiver (seeabove) on a smooth panel.2 Use an alcohol swab to clean where thesuction cup will be fitted.3 Press the suction cup firmly onto the surface.4 Slide the receiver into the cradle.Installing the magnetic mount(GPS 4500 only)1 Find a suitable location for the receiver (seeabove) on a smooth steel panel.2 Use an alcohol swab to clean the depressionon the back of the receiver and the panelwhere the receiver will be fitted.3 Peel the backing from the magnetic patch andpress it firmly into the depression on the backof the receiver.4 Attach the receiver to the panel.Installing the permanent mount1 Find a suitable location for the receiver (seeabove) on a smooth panel.2 Use an alcohol swab to clean the depressionon the back of the receiver and the panelwhere the receiver will be fitted.3 Peel the backing from one side of the doublesided tape and press it firmly into thedepression on the back of the receiver.4 Peel the backing from the double sided tapeand press the receiver firmly onto the surface.Installing the armbandThread the armband through the slots on either sideof the back of the receiver.Installing the lanyardPush one end of the lanyard through the lanyard holein the receiver case.
