Notes and Warnings
- Please rotate top cover clockwise. Once the top cover is in 270° position, you’ll find
it hard to rotate. Don’t try to rotate further, 270° position is the limit.
- As solar cell uses for years, its charging performance will decline. But for 2 years
using your iBT-GPS, the charging performance is still better than 90% of its original.
- For your safety, please keep this device and all its accessories out of children’s reach.
- Please turn off this device while in a hospital or medical facility. Otherwise the
device’s built-in Bluetooth transceiver may cause malfunction/interference to other
medical equipment.
- This iBT-GPS device uses a re-chargeable Lithium battery. Please do not expose this
iBT-GPS device in ambient temperature higher than 140℉/60℃, otherwise the
battery inside may accumulate heat, burn itself or explode, leading to serious
damage. The Lithium battery inside this device should be recycled.
- If this iBT-GPS device is not used for a long period of time, please take out the
battery and store it in a dry and cool place in advance.
- The manufacturer assumes no responsibility for any damages and losses resulting
from a dead battery, or misuse of the product in any way.
- Use only the supplied and approved accessories. Unauthorized accessories, antennas,
modifications or attachments could damage this iBT-GPS device, and may violate
government’s radio device regulations.
- Do not attempt to open the iBT-GPS device yourself. Unauthorized hacking may
damage the unit, and void your warranty.
Chapter 1 Before you begin

Congratulations on your purchase of the iBT-GPS with built-in Lithium
rechargeable battery. Before you start using iBT-GPS, please make sure if
your package includes the following items. If any item is damaged or
missing, please contact your dealer at once.
Bluetooth GPS Receiver - iBT-GPS x 1
Retractable USB Cable x 1
DC cigarette lighter adapter x 1

*Package contents may vary depending on countries without prior notice.
Chapter 2 Getting started
Please follow the procedure step by step.
Step 1 Charging Your Battery
For the first time you use the iBT-GPS, please charge battery until it is
full (the green LED blinks). Take the power cable and connect it to the
power jack (mini USB type). This will begin to charge the battery. The
LED that represents the battery is the left-most battery icon (shown in
below).
- If the LED is red, that means battery power is critically low. Charge immediately.
- If the LED is green, that means battery is charging now.
- If the green LED blinks, that means battery is fully charged.
Step 2 Turning on the power switch

Step 3 Connecting your handheld device with iBT-GPS
Please refer to the user manual of PDA to enable the Bluetooth
connectivity. If the connection between your device and iBT-GPS is
successful, the blue LED of iBT-GPS will be blinking.
Below, we provide a common procedure of software installation to set up
your PDA. (For other PDA, the steps may be a little bit different.
Bluetooth Manager is one of popular program used for Bluetooth device.)
-->
Start -> Bluetooth Manager
New
1. Open “Bluetooth Manager” on pocket pc, and establish new
connection.
-->
Explore A Bluetooth device
Tap iBT-GPS
->Next
2. Explore a Bluetooth device, and find the “iBT-GPS”
Passkey 0000 (if your PDA ask
for the passkey)
3. (Optional)
-->
Select SPP slave->Next
Finish
4. Connect to Serial Port Profile (SPP) Slave
10
-->
Done
Tap and Hold iBT-GPS: SPP
slave, Connect
5. Finish Bluetooth Manager Setup
Step 4 Loading your GPS mapping or routing software
, along with the corresponding maps of the areas that you plan to travel
to.
Step 5 Start the application
and select the correct COM port & baud rate.
Note: The Bluetooth device in most of the applications has an
“auto-detect” feature so that you do not need to select the Baud Rate.

Chapter 3 How to test your Bluetooth GPS Receiver ?
The testing program only supports the Microsoft Windows CE & Pocket
PC based PDA platform.
3.1 Software Installation
You have to first synchronize the PDA and your PC, and run the
“Setup.exe” to execute the installation procedure of GpsView testing
program (via PC and ActiveSync). To get this program, you can
download it at your agent’s website.
1. Synchronize the PDA and your PC.
3. Execute the installation.
12
2. Run the “Setup.exe”.
3.2 GPS Test
Once you have completed the setup of your Bluetooth device, you may
check to see if your GpsView software is attempting to fix your position.
You can do this by opening your GPS software. If it fails, you should
select the correct COM port and Baud Rate (4800~115200) to start
receiving GPS data. Shortly, you will see the GPS code running as in the
picture below. This signifies that your Bluetooth device is functioning
properly.
Note: The Bluetooth device in most of the applications has an
“auto-detect” feature so that you do not need to select the Baud Rate.
3.2.1 Executing GPS Demo Program
Execute the “GpsView” by double clicking GPS Demo icon in programs
menu.
3.2.2 GPS Demo Screen

Appendix B. Fuzzy Auto On/Off Feature
iBT-GPS supports fuzzy auto on/off. It can automatically enter the
sleeping mode after your turning off the Bluetooth connectivity, thus you
can always power it on with very low power consumption.
With fuzzy auto on/off, if the connection between your device and
iBT-GPS is successful, iBT-GPS will wake up itself and the blue LED of
iBT-GPS will be quickly blinking again (every 2 sec) and the orange LED
of iBT-GPS will also be on.

Appendix D. Frequently Asked Questions
Q: The GPS Demo software GpsView doesn’t seem to be making any
connections with my Bluetooth GPS receiver. How do I make it work?
A: You will need to make sure your PDA is paired with Bluetooth device.
Follow the section “Chapter 2. Getting started > Step 3 Connecting your
handheld device with the iBT-GPS” to make sure that your PDA is
recognizing the Bluetooth GPS receiver properly. If so, you will need to
connect with the device by going to the Bluetooth Manager and
double-tapping on the iBT-GPS icon.
Q: My Bluetooth GPS Receiver seems to be receiving the satellite signals,
but I am unable to establish a connection between the receiver and my
PDA. How can I make a connection?
A: Go to the Bluetooth Manager on your PDA. Locate the “iBT-GPS:
SPP Slave” icon and tap and hold. A pop-up menu will appear, select
Delete.
Next, perform a soft reset on your PDA.
Once your PDA has finished resetting itself, go back to the Bluetooth
Manager screen and perform the typical setup and connection procedures
for your Bluetooth receiver (for help with connection please review the
section “Chapter 2 Getting started > Step 3 Connecting your handheld
device with the iBT-GPS”).

Appendix F. Helpful Tips
Your iBT-GPS should be treated with care and properly maintained to
ensure the best performance. Keep in mind these helpful tips when using
your receiver:
- Some vehicles having heavy metallic sun protecting coating on windshields,
which may affect signal receptions
- Driving in and around high buildings may affect signal receptions.
- Driving under tunnels or in buildings may affect signal receptions.
- Low battery of a PDA or of an iBT-GPS may affect signal receptions.
- Please check the correct “COM” and “Baudrate” of your PDA.
- In general, any GPS receiver performs best in open space where it can see
clean sky. Also weather will affect GPS reception – rain & snow contribute
to worse sensitivity.
- iBT-GPS output data updates every second, thus the actual position and the
position in your map may have time delay. This may happen when you drive
at higher speed or make a turn around a corner.
- Note that iBT-GPS may not work indoors where it can not see the sky.
- For the 1st time you use the iBT-GPS, it will take 1 to 3 minutes to get the
satellite constellation and fix your position, this is called “Cold Start”. If you
replace the battery, iBT-GPS will do Cold Start again.
- If your iBT-GPS can’t fix your position for more than 20 minutes, we
suggest you change to another open space and then try again.
