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.
152.5 Helpful Tips - It’s better to turn off the 852 when you don’t use it, or the serial Flash's life can’t last long. - Some vehicles having heavy metallic sun protecting coating on windshields may affect GPS signal receptions - Driving in and around high buildings may affect GPS signal receptions. - Driving in tunnels or indoor park may affect signal receptions. - 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. - Low battery of a PDA or of an 852 may affect signal receptions. - Please check the correct “COM” and “Baudrate” of your PDA. - 852 output data updates every second, therefore the actual position and the position shown in your map may have slight time delay. This may happen when you drive at higher speed or make a turn around a corner. - Note that 852 may not work indoors where it can not see the sky. - For the 1st time you use the 852, it will take 1 to 3 minutes to obtain the satellite constellation information and fix your position, this is called “Cold Start”. If you replace the battery, 852 will do Cold Start again. - If your 852 can’t fix your position for more than 20 minutes, we suggest you change to another spot with open space and then try again.
