2.2 Getting Started Please follow the procedure step by step. Step 1 Charging Your Battery To charge your 887 data logger, you have to plug your USB cable into the power source. Charging time is about 90 minutes and you can charge from PC/ Notebook’s USB HOST or from cigarette-lighter in car. For the 1st time you use the 887, please charge battery until it is full (the green LED is off). Shown in below - If the LED is red, that means battery power is critically low.

If the connection between your device and 887 is successful, the blue LED of 887 will be blinking. Below, we provide a common procedure of software installation to set up your PDA. (For other PDA, the steps may be different. Bluetooth Manager is a popular program used on Bluetooth device.) 11

--> Start -> Bluetooth Manager New 1. Open “Bluetooth Manager” on your pocket pc, and establish a new connection. --> Explore A Bluetooth device ->Next Tap 887 GPS 12

2. Explore a Bluetooth device, and find the “887” Passkey 0000 (if your PDA asks for the passkey) 3. (Optional) --> Select SPP slave->Next Finish 13

2.3 Helpful Tips - It’s better to turn off the 887 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 887 may affect signal receptions. - Please check the correct “COM” and “Baudrate” of your PDA. - 887 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 887 may not work indoors where it can not see the sky. - For the 1st time you use the 887, 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, 887 will do Cold Start again. - If your 887 can’t fix your position for more than 20 minutes, we suggest you change to another spot with open space and then try again. 15
