Chapter 3 Using GPS NavigationIntroductionThe MC55 includes Global Positioning System (GPS) technology using the SiRF III chipset. GPS technology is based on a worldwide system of GPS satellites orbiting the earth that continuously transmit digital radio signals. These radio signals contain data on the satellites’ locations and their exact clock time and are used to determine your location on the earth.Software InstallationThird-party GPS navigation software is required. Evaluation software is available from various suppliers. For example; VisualGPS, visit: http://www.visualgps.net/VisualGPSce/If interested in purchasing GPS navigation software check with the GPS software vendor (before purchasing, downloading, or installing any software) to determine that the application is compatible with the MC55. Refer to the application’s user guide for application installation and setup information.MC55 GPS SetupThe GPS-enabled MC55 uses Microsoft Windows Mobile 6, so the operating system automatically manages access to the GPS receiver to allow multiple programs to simultaneously access GPS data.Ensure that the following settings are set on the MC55:1. Tap Start > Settings > System > External GPS icon.2. In the Programs tab, select None from the GPS program port drop-down list.3. In the Hardware tab, select COM8 in the GPS hardware port drop-down list.WARNING!When using the MC55 in a vehicle, it is the user’s responsibility to place, secure and use in a manner that will not cause accidents, personal injury or property damage or obstruct their view. It is the responsibility of the driver to operate the vehicle in a safe manner, maintain observation of all driving conditions at all times, and not become distracted by the device to the exclusion of safe driving practices. It is unsafe to operate the controls of the device while driving.DRAFT

It is best to be outside and have a clear, unobstructed view of the sky. Without a clear view, acquisition takes much longer and could result in the MC55 being unable to compute the initial position quickly. When operating the device indoors access to the GPS signals may be limited or unavailable. GPS Maps on microSD CardsGPS navigation software vendors may sell maps on microSD cards. If using a microSD card with the GPS navigation software:1. Remove the Memory Card Cover on the side of the MC55.2. Insert the microSD card into the slot.3. Replace the Memory Card Cover.Answering a Phone Call While Using GPSIf you receive a phone call while using your GPS navigation software:1. Answer the phone call by pressing the Answer button.2. Once you end the phone call, press the End Call button to resume the audio on the GPS software.Losing the GPS Signal While in a VehicleGPS performance on the MC55 may be affected if the vehicle has thermal glass windows and windshields, which can block the MC55 from receiving a GPS signal from satellites. To improve GPS signal strength, place the MC55 where there is a clear view of the sky. A direct line of sight is required between the MC55 and the GPS satellites to access information from the satellites.The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a system that allows the user to track their position anywhere on the earth.Assisted GPSGPS can be used in stand-alone or Assisted GPS (A-GPS) modes. A Stand-alone GPS receiver downloads data from GPS satellites. It can take several minutes to get a fix. By using GPS Location servers, A-GPS dramatically NOTE If an application error message appears indicating that the COM port cannot be opened, ensure that a free COM port is selected in the GPS hardware port drop-down list.NOTE When using a GPS navigation application, ensure that the MC55 does not go into suspend mode. If the MC55 suspends then the power to the GPS radio is removed. Upon resume the GPS receiver must reacquire a valid GPS signal, resulting in a a delay of positional information.NOTE Anytime you are using GPS on the MC55 and you receive a phone call, the audio on the GPS navigation software is muted until you finish the call.DRAFT
Using GPS Navigation 3 - 3improves the performance of the Time To First Fix (TTFF) of GPS receivers by providing them with data that they would ordinarily have to download from the GPS satellites. With the A-GPS data, GPS receivers can operate faster and more reliably.A-GPS follows the Secure User Plane Location (SUPL) protocol which allows a mobile device to communicate with a location server. Refer to the EMDK Help file for information on setting up SUPL on the MC55.DRAFT

Chapter 4 Using BluetoothIntroductionBluetooth-equipped devices can communicate without wires, using frequency-hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) radio frequency (RF) to transmit and receive data in the 2.4 GHz Industry Scientific and Medical (ISM) band (802.15.1). Bluetooth wireless technology is specifically designed for short-range (30 feet/10 meters) communication and low power consumption. MC55s with Bluetooth capabilities can exchange information (e.g., files, appointments, and tasks) with other Bluetooth enabled devices such as phones, printers, access points, and other mobile computers. To use the MC55 as a modem, create a dial-up modem connection between a computer and MC55.Motorola mobile computers with Bluetooth technology use the StoneStreet Bluetooth stack. To program Bluetooth within the MC55 refer to the Enterprise Mobility Developer Kit (EMDK) Help.Adaptive Frequency HoppingAdaptive Frequency Hopping (AFH) is a method of avoiding fixed frequency interferers, and can be used with Bluetooth voice. All devices in the piconet (Bluetooth network) must be AFH-capable in order for AFH to work. There is no AFH when connecting and discovering devices. Avoid making Bluetooth connections and discoveries during critical 802.11b communications. AFH for Bluetooth consists of four main sections:•Channel Classification - A method of detecting an interference on a channel-by-channel basis, or pre-defined channel mask.•Link Management - Coordinates and distributes the AFH information to the rest of the Bluetooth network.•Hop Sequence Modification - Avoids interference by selectively reducing the number of hopping channels.•Channel Maintenance - A method for periodically re-evaluating the channels.When AFH is enabled, the Bluetooth radio “hops around” (instead of through) the 802.11b high-rate channels. AFH coexistence allows Motorola mobile computers to operate in any infrastructure. DRAFT
4 - 2 MC75 User GuideThe Bluetooth radio in this MC55 operates as a Class 2 device power class. The maximum output power is 2.5mW and the expected range is 32.8 feet (10 meters). A definition of ranges based on power class is difficult to obtain due to power and device differences, and whether one measures open space or closed office space. SecurityThe current Bluetooth specification defines security at the link level. Application-level security is not specified. This allows application developers to define security mechanisms tailored to their specific need. Link-level security occurs between devices, not users, while application-level security can be implemented on a per-user basis. The Bluetooth specification defines security algorithms and procedures needed to authenticate devices, and if needed, encrypt the data flowing on the link between the devices. Device authentication is a mandatory feature of Bluetooth while link encryption is optional.Pairing of Bluetooth devices is accomplished by creating an initialization key that is used to authenticate the devices and create a link key for them. Entering a common PIN number in the devices being paired generates the initialization key. The PIN number is never sent over the air. By default, the Bluetooth stack responds with no key when a key is requested (it is up to user to respond to the key request event). Authentication of Bluetooth devices is based-upon a challenge-response transaction. Bluetooth allows for a PIN number or passkey that is used to create other 128-bit keys used for security and encryption. The encryption key is derived from the link key used to authenticate the pairing devices. Also worthy of note is the limited range and fast frequency hopping of the Bluetooth radios that makes long-distance eavesdropping difficult.Recommendations are:•Perform pairing in a secure environment•Keep PIN codes private and don't store the PIN codes in the mobile computer•Implement application-level security.NOTE It is not recommended to perform Bluetooth wireless technology inquiry when high rate 802.11b operation is required.DRAFT
Using Bluetooth 4 - 3Turning the Bluetooth Radio Mode On and OffTurn off the Bluetooth radio to save power or if entering an area with radio restrictions (e.g., an airplane). When the radio is off, other Bluetooth devices cannot see or connect to the MC55. Turn on the Bluetooth radio to exchange information with other Bluetooth devices (within range). Communicate only with Bluetooth radios in close proximity. Disabling BluetoothTo disable Bluetooth, tap Bluetooth icon > Disable Bluetooth. The Bluetooth icon changes to indicate that Bluetooth is disabled. Figure 4-1    Disable BluetoothEnabling BluetoothTo enable Bluetooth, tap Bluetooth icon > Enable Bluetooth.
