GPS Bluetooth Receiver Installation and Operation Manual NAVMAN 1 Introduction The GPS Bluetooth Receiver is a peripheral for a portable computer or PDA which calculates where the receiver is on earth. The receiver has: • A GPS antenna and GPS chipset to receive GPS signals and calculate the GPS position of the receiver. • A Bluetooth link to send the GPS position to a portable 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 vehicle and sends the GPS position to a portable computer or PDA in the vehicle for use by a navigation application. Radio signals from GPS satellites GPS chipset GPS antenna Bluetooth link Batteries Bluetooth link Navigation application Bluetooth network radio signals GPS Bluetooth Receiver Portable computer or PDA (Bluetooth enabled) Features of the GPS Bluetooth Receiver • Extremely long battery life; around 40 hours of operation from one set of AAA alkaline batteries. (2 second update, trickle power mode) • No operator setup or adjustment required; the only operator control is the On/Off switch. • 25 x 25 x 4 mm (1 x 1 x 0.2 in) patch GPS antenna with sensitive 12-channel GPS receiver chipset. • Available in two versions. These are identical except for resistance to water: on the roof of a vehicle. The GPS 4400 is not waterproof and is designed to be mounted indoors. • An MCX connector for an external GPS antenna and a connector for an external power supply (GPS 4400 only). Cleaning and maintenance The GPS 4500 is fully waterproof and is designed to be mounted outdoors, for example Clean the receiver with a damp cloth or mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners, petrol or other solvents. Do not paint the receiver. What is GPS ? The US Government operates the GPS system. Twenty-four satellites orbiting the earth broadcast timing signals which are freely available to use. The positions of these satellites are constantly changing. The GPS receiver tracks signals from all satellites visible above the horizon and uses measurements from all satellites more than 10° above the horizon to calculate exactly where it is on earth. This is called the GPS position. A GPS receiver can receive signals from the GPS satellites when it is almost anywhere on earth. The receiver is accurate even at high speeds and accelerations. What is Bluetooth ? Bluetooth is an industry standard wireless network for linking peripherals to Bluetooth enabled portable computers or PDAs. Bluetooth is fast, economical and uses little power. The GPS Bluetooth Receiver uses a Class 2 Bluetooth link, with a range of at least 10 m (33 ft). NAVMAN GPS Bluetooth Receiver Installation and Operation Manual 2 The GPS Bluetooth Receiver Indicator LED under On/Off switch Off: GPS receiver power is off On/Off push switch To turn GPS receiver on: press and release. To turn off: press for half a second and release. Two blinks every 1.5 seconds: the receiver is not connected to a portable computer or PDA via Bluetooth. Blink every 1.5 seconds: the receiver is connected to a portable computer or PDA via Bluetooth. LED is blue: battery voltage is good. LED is red: battery voltage is low, change the batteries. External power supply connector (GPS 4400 only) To connect an external 5 V DC power supply (such as the NAVMAN universal in-vehicle power cable). If an external power supply is plugged in then the receiver will automatically use the external power supply instead of the internal batteries. Note: the external power supply can not charge the internal batteries. External GPS antenna MCX connector (GPS 4400 only) To connect an external GPS antenna. If an external GPS antenna is plugged in then the GPS receiver will automatically use the external antenna instead of the internal antenna. Internal batteries To change or insert the batteries (change the batteries when the LED turns from blue to red) Slot Remove back Press the two lugs with your fingers and pull the back and main unit apart. Fit batteries Remove the old batteries. Insert 3 x new AAA alkaline cells or 3 x charged rechargeable AAA batteries. Observe the battery polarity shown above. GPS Bluetooth Receiver Installation and Operation Manual NAVMAN Clip Replace back Insert the clip on the back into the slot on the main unit. Snap the back and main unit together. 3 Using the GPS Bluetooth Receiver To use the GPS Bluetooth Receiver in a typical application (a portable computer or PDA running a navigation application): When the navigation application is started, turn the GPS Bluetooth Receiver on by pressing the receiver On/Off switch. If the navigation application is closed or the portable computer or PDA moves out of range of the receiver (about 10 m (33 ft)), then the receiver will automatically turn itself off after 2 minutes. When the navigation application is restarted, turn the receiver on again by pressing the receiver On/Off switch. If the receiver LED changes from blue to red, change the batteries (see previous page). When the navigation application is finished with, either press the receiver On/Off switch to turn the receiver off or allow the receiver to automatically turn itself off after 2 minutes. GPS Bluetooth Receiver operation Power off The GPS chipset power and the Bluetooth link are both off. The LED is off. Press On/Off switch to turn on No connection The receiver waits for a connection to another Bluetooth device. The GPS chipset is turned off. LED flashes twice every 1.5 seconds. Another Bluetooth device, such as a portable computer or PDA, establishes a connection to the GPS Bluetooth Receiver The other Bluetooth device drops the connection or moves out of range No connection established within 2 minutes or press On/Off switch to turn off Note • When another Bluetooth device establishes a connection with the GPS Bluetooth Receiver, the receiver’s GPS chipset is turned on. • If the signals from the GPS satellites are blocked, for example in a tunnel, the receiver can not send GPS positions. When the block is removed, it might be a few seconds before the receiver calculates GPS positions again. • Pairing: The GPS Bluetooth Receiver will NAVMAN Connected The GPS chipset is turned on. The GPS receiver sends GPS data to the other bluetooth device. The LED flashes once every 1.5 seconds. Press On/Off switch to turn off accept all requests to pair. The password is NAVMAN. However, the unit will not honour the pairing, and will establish a connection with any other Bluetooth device that requests a connection. This is because there is no way of manually cancelling pairing on the GPS Bluetooth Receiver.

Using rechargeable batteries requires a suitable external battery charger. The GPS Bluetooth Receiver does not recharge the internal batteries when it is connected to an external power supply. GPS Bluetooth Receiver Installation and Operation Manual NAVMAN 5 Installing the GPS Bluetooth Receiver The GPS Bluetooth Receiver has several mounting options: • Suction cup, for example to attach the unit to the inside of a vehicle windscreen. • Magnetic mount, to attach the unit to a metal surface, for example the roof of a vehicle (GPS 4500 only) • Double sided tape, for permanent mounting. Installing the suction cup mount Find a suitable location for the receiver (see above) on a smooth panel. Use an alcohol swab to clean where the suction cup will be fitted. Press the suction cup firmly onto the surface. Slide the receiver into the cradle. • Armband, to attach the receiver to the user’s arm. Installing the magnetic mount (GPS 4500 only) • Lanyard, for holding the receiver. Find a suitable location for the receiver (see above) on a smooth steel panel. Use an alcohol swab to clean the depression on the back of the receiver and the panel where the receiver will be fitted. Peel the backing from the magnetic patch and press it firmly into the depression on the back of the receiver. Attach the receiver to the panel. Locating the GPS Bluetooth Receiver Find a suitable location for the receiver: • With as good a view of the sky and horizon as possible. The receiver can be under glass, perspex, fibreglass or fabric, but not under metal or wood. • Where it will not obstruct your view; and will not interfere with the operation of the vehicle or the vehicle safety equipment. • Accessible to change the batteries and operate the On/Off switch. Find a suitable location for the receiver (see above) on a smooth panel. • Away from any source of electrical interference or noise. • Away from excessive vibration or shock. Use an alcohol swab to clean the depression on the back of the receiver and the panel where the receiver will be fitted. • Within 10 m (33 ft) of the Bluetooth device that the unit will connect to. • A GPS 4400 is not waterproof and must be mounted where it will not get wet and where there will be no condensation. Peel the backing from one side of the double sided tape and press it firmly into the depression on the back of the receiver. Peel the backing from the double sided tape and press the receiver firmly onto the surface. 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 is mounted on the vehicle, outside on the roof is usually a good location because the receiver has a good view of the sky. A GPS 4500 mounted on the roof will usually have better performance than a GPS 4400 mounted in the vehicle, because the metal roof will shield the receiver inside from the GPS signals. Installing the permanent mount Installing the armband Thread the armband through the slots on either side of the back of the receiver. Installing the lanyard Push one end of the lanyard through the lanyard hole in the receiver case. Loop the end of the lanyard through the other side and pull it tight. TIP: If you are not sure if a location is suitable, mount the receiver temporarily and check that the receiver operates properly. Then mount the receiver permanently.
