Product Introduction 1.1. Overview BT GPS mini (RBT-1000)-A compact combo-device with Bluetooth and GPS technology 1.1.1. Wireless GPS receiver: BT GPS mini, a multi-wireless GPS consumer product, is the smallest and most cost-effective Bluetooth GPS receiver in the world. It has a built-in replaceable and rechargeable Lithium-ion battery just using the same battery of Nokia 6100 cell phone. With the dimension of 70(L) x 41(W) x 23(H) mm and weight only 60g, making it an ideal solution to carry everywhere. BT GPS mini is both precise and durable. Its 12-channel receiver allows for continuous tracking of all visible satellites. By wearing this Bluetooth GPS around your neck and having your bluetooth integrated with any kind of mobile device, such as PDA or Notebook, it will provide your exact location almost anywhere. 1.2. Main Features Twelve parallel channels Support 2D / 3D information Hot/ Warm/ Cold start time: 8/ 38/ 45 seconds RF MCX connector for external GPS antenna Support standard NMEA-0183 at 57600 bps baud rate Compatible with Bluetoth devices with SPP (Serial Port Profile) Three LEDs showing Bluetooth, GPS and battery status Rechargeable and replaceable Lithium-ion battery, also compatible with Nokia 6100 cell Power switch 1.3. Product Notification Operating temperature range -20 ºC to +60 ºC Charger operating temperature range 0 ºC to +40 ºC Battery Storage temperature range -20 ºC to +50 ºC Lithium-ion battery lasts more than 8 hours in continuous operation mode. Humidity range up to 95% no condensing 1.4. Application Navigation Automotive Vehicle Tracking Personal Positioning Geographic Surveying Sporting and Recreation Consumer wireless GPS Cellular Phone 2. Quick Start 2.1. Control Switch, Power Jack & Antenna Port Power Switch External Antenna Power Jack Port 2.2. LED Display Battery Status GPS Status Bluetooth Status • Blinking Blue light indicates Bluetooth in connection • Green light grows indicates power on • Blinking Green light indicates GPS position fixed • Yellow light indicates charging • Blinking red light indicates low power 2.3. Hardware Features 2.3.1. Power Switch Power ON / Power OFF 2.3.2. Power Jack The power jack allows you to connect to either a DC (included) or AC power charger to recharge the internal battery. 2.3.3. External Antenna Port If you have an external antenna with a male MCX connector (available separately), you can use it instead of the BT GPS mini receiver’s internal antenna. Simply plug your external antenna into the antenna port. 2.3.4. Bluetooth Status LED (Blue) Flashing - Bluetooth is on and ready to transmit. 2.3.5. GPS Status LED (Green) Flashing - Position is fixed. Steady light – Device is on but position is not fixed. 2.3.6. Battery Status LED (Red/Yellow) None - Battery has adequate power supply. Red - Power is low. Charging immediately is required. Yellow - Connected to power charger, charging. LED off - Battery is fully charged. 2.4. Getting Started 2.4.1. STEP 1: Charge the Battery 1. 2. Before you use the Bluetooth GPS Receiver, the battery must be charged. Connect the power charger to the power jack, and then plug into an electrical outlet. As the device is charging, the Battery Status LED will show a yellow light. When the battery is fully charged, the Battery Status LED will turn off. Unplug the device and remove the charger. 2.4.2. STEP 2: Turn on Receiver and Wait for GPS Fix 1. 2. The GPS Status LED will initially show a steady green light to show that the position has not been fixed yet. After the position is fixed, the GPS Status LED will be showing flashing green. Now you are ready to connect to your Bluetooth-enabled mobile device and use your GPS application. 2.4.3. STEP 3: Connect to Bluetooth-Enabled Devices 1. 2. From your Bluetooth-enabled mobile device, perform a Bluetooth device discovery. Refer to the user documentation for your Bluetooth-enabled device for instructions. After connection is created between Bluetooth-enabled device and Bluetooth GPS, the LED will show flashing blue light. Note: If it is needed to type in Pin code during configuration, please Key in “ 0000”. 2.4.4. STEP 4: Use GPS Application 1. 2. 3. Load your GPS mapping or routing software, along with the corresponding maps of the areas that you are occupying or plan to travel to. Start the application. Make sure the application is set for the COM port that your Bluetooth-enabled mobile device will use for serial communication. Now you should be ready to use your GPS application as directed by the user documentation that came with the software. More configurations may be necessary. Refer to the following software application user manual to set up the parameters of the device via Bluetooth radio. 3. Installation The Main Menu of Installation CD shows as above.

Explanation of GPS Terminology Degraded Mode: It is the operation mode that uses 2 SVs or 1 SV for positioning output. The effect of degraded mode in GPS receiver is to have more position fix than none of it. It would sometimes have the situation of position drifting when this mode is enabled. Elevation Mask: GPS satellites that are low on the horizon are subject to noise due to the amount of atmosphere that the signal must travel through. Better position accuracy is often achieved if lower elevation satellites are not used in the position solution. The elevation mask is used to exclude the use of satellites in the position solution that are below a defined elevation mask. DOP Mask: DOP is the abbreviation of “dilution of precision”. To achieve a positioning accuracy of 10m, it must combine the ranging accuracy and geometry to be acceptable values. GDOP is geometric dilution of precision which contains the effect of position (x, y, z) and time. PDOP is the position dilution of precision which contains the effect of position (x, y, z). HDOP is the horizontal dilution of precision which contains the effect of horizontal plane (x, y). Better position accuracy is often achieved with smaller DOP value. The DOP Mask is used to exclude the output of position that DOP value is higher than the DOP Mask. SBAS Mode: SBAS is abbreviation of Satellite-Based Augmentation Systems. It is WAAS in US, European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS) in Europe and Multi-functional Transport Satellite (MTSAT) Satellite -based Augmentation System (MSAS) in Japan. It provides additional ranging capability, integrity information, and differential corrections at L1 frequency, which is broadcast from geostationary satellites. 38 Contact information Headquarters 1071 Chung Cheng RD., Suite 9F-1 Tao Yuan City, Taiwan, R.O.C.
