GPS antenna
SP510 has an internal micro-antenna for the GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver.
This antenna, located beneath the top left of the device, receives radio signals and
process position information between the device receiver and the satellite signals.
GPS accuracy and signal availability and quality may be affected by your location,
buildings, canyon walls, hard ground, and weather conditions. Use your device outdoors
to allow reception of GPS signals.
Unpacking the SP510 vehicle mount kit
The vehicle mount kit includes:
• Vehicle mount
• Cradle plate
• Auto charger cable
• Headset

• Install the vehicle mount on the surface of your vehicle that is reasonably flat
and free of dirt and oil
Device mounting precautions
• Some countries prohibit the mounting of any electronic device in any location
on the vehicle dashboard. Be sure to check your local laws acceptable
mounting areas before installing the auto mounting kit.
• Some newer vehicle models may have a heat reflective shield embedded in
the windshield. This may in some cases obstruct the GPS signal reception.
In some cases, poor GPS signal are caused by:
• Indoors and GPS cannot receive satellite positioning signal
• Pylon or mobile phone base station
• Bad weather, thunder, lightning, cloudy sky, fog, or rain
• Driving at high speed
• The heating and cooling cycle of a vehicle’s interior will in some cases
loosen the adhesion of the suction cup. Check the vacuum seal of the
vehicle mount kit for adequate adhesion each time you use the unit, and
reinstall if necessary.
• If the vehicle mount kit has problems staying on, clean the plastic suction
cup with alcohol, then reinstall.
To set up the device on your vehicle:
Install the vehicle mount on the surface of your vehicle that is reasonably flat and
free of dirt and oil
1 Clean the mounting surface with a glass cleaner and a clean cotton cloth.
2 Install the vehicle mount on the windshield or other flat car surface.
(a) Fix the suction cup mount to the selected area with the suction lever facing
up.
(b) Flip the lever down to create a vacuum between the suction cup and the
mounting surface.
Make sure that the suction bond is strong enough before proceeding to the
next step.
(c) Insert the vehicle mount’s cradle plate to the holes on the back of the cradle.
(d) Move the car cradle until both parts are engaged.

3 Slide the device into the cradle.
IMPORTANT: Before you start to use your device for GPS navigation, download
the LTO (Long Term Orbits) first to update the Ephemeris data (current satellite
position and timing information) onto your device. This data is needed to determine
the GPS position of your current location.
4 The internal GPS receiver of your device is located as shown, for best GPS
reception, make sure to mount your device in the correct position as shown in the
illustration.
5 Connect the charger cable to the device and connect the other end of the charger
cable to the cigarette lighter socket.
The LED indicator on the right side of the touch screen lights up orange during
charging.
Downloading the LTO satellite data
Global Locate LTO satellite data provides guidance information about your current
location and the distance and duration of travel. After the final location and time are
calculated, the coordinates in the GPS are expressed in specific coordinate system,
degrees and decimal degrees format, using the WGS 84 coordinate system.
The SP510 includes an Express GPS Connection application that makes use of the LTO
satellite data, which can be downloaded using a GPRS/EDGE wireless data service
connection. As an alternative to GPRS/EDGE download, you can retrieve the LTO
satellite data from a server on the Internet and transfer it to your SP510 when you connect
it to your PC via ActiveSync or Bluetooth. After downloading the satellite orbit data,
Express GPS Connection stores the data into the device’s GPS chipset.

Express GPS
Conne ct
SP510 is integrated with the latest GPS (Global Positioning System) technology to quickly
compute positions in locations where GPS signals are barely detectable. Optimum GPS
performance can be achieved with Express GPS Connect. This program operates by
transferring GPS satellite data (ephemeris information) from the Internet to your device,
where it is stored in memory. Express GPS Connect can get satellite data when your
SP510 is connected to your PC or the Internet. This process occurs in the background,
ensuring the GPS functions are ready to use at all times.
To open Express GPS Connect:
1 Start a remote connection to the server using a GPRS, EDGE,WCDMA, HSPA
connection.
2 Tap > Settings .
3 On the Connections tab, tap Express GPS Connect .
Using Express GPS Connect
Use Express GPS Connect for the first time
The first time you use your SP510 EDA, make sure your Express GPS Connect satellite
data is current. For your first location fix, it is best to be outdoors under an open sky, with
no tall buildings or other obstructions close by. It should take one to two minutes to
compute the first position fix. After obtaining the first fix, Express GPS Connect operates
at the optimum GPS performance level. If the data has expired, you should check your
Express GPS Connect settings.
Express GPS Connect position fix times
• The time it takes for Express GPS Connect to get a position fix varies with
signal reception conditions. In open and nearly open sky conditions, the
SP510 typically can get a position fix in just a few seconds. In blocked signal
conditions Express GPS Connect will start in one minute or less if the GPS
signals are sufficiently strong.
Using your SP510 near a window gives it a better view to the sky and
improves the chance of a successful position fix.
• Express GPS Connect starts searching for signals based on the most recent
position fix. When traveling to a new location your SP510 will need extra time
and more open signal conditions to obtain a location fix. After your first fix in
the new location full performance is restored.
• When traveling to a different time zone, you can change the time zone
settings to tell Express GPS Connect you have traveled.
Satellite reception
• GPS receivers work best when they have a direct line of sight to the
satellites. For example, somebody turning on a GPS receiver in the middle of
the Gobi Desert will obtain a position fix much sooner than a GPS user trying
to get a position fix in the middle of Wall Street. The reason for this is simple:
the Gobi Desert is a huge, flat expanse. It has no tall buildings and very few
natural obstructions that could block GPS signals. GPS is ideal for an "open
sky" environment like the Gobi Desert.
• In contrast, Wall Street represents an "urban canyon" environment,
where tall
buildings on both sides of the street block, reflect, and scatter incoming GPS
signals. These conditions also apply when trying to use a GPS receiver
indoors. A traditional GPS receiver simply may not be able to compute a
position in an urban canyon or indoor environment.
• When you are getting your first GPS position fix with the SP510, try to do it in
an environment that is as close to "open sky" as possible. The first position
fix is crucial because it includes a calibration process that helps subsequent
position fixes to be computed more rapidly. After getting the first position fix,
you will be able to enjoy the benefits of the Express GPS Connect's high-
sensitivity technology, which, when coupled with Express GPS Connect
satellite data, allows you to get position fixes in places where traditional GPS
receivers can't.

How to improve GPS performance
Your SP510 computes your position faster and more accurately, provided the following
are adhered to:
• Always operate with current Express GPS Connect data.
• Configure your SP510 to automatically update Express GPS Connect data.
• Keep the SP510 away from other electronic devices that may emit radio
waves (such as laptop computers and USB devices).
• Protect your SP510 from extreme temperature variations and violent shocks.
• If you are indoors and do not get a position after one minute, move to a
window to give the SP510 a better view of the sky.
• If you have traveled more than 500 miles since you last used your SP510,
or
if
the unit has been reset, the next position computation should be performed
under open sky conditions, and extra time should be allowed.
• When traveling to a different time zone, be sure to change the SP510's time
zone settings.
• If you have traveled more than 500 miles from the location where you
last used the SP510’s GPS capability, the device will need extra time to
compute a position fix. Here are a few ways to reduce the time to obtain
a position in your new location.
• If traveling by plane, it is best to wait until you leave the terminal
building before trying to obtain your first position fix.
• After the device obtained the first position fix in a new region, optimum
Express GPS Connect performance is restored.
• If you have traveled to another time zone, you can speed up the GPS
position computation by changing the time zone settings on
your devic e.
This causes Express GPS Connect to proceed immediately to a global
satellite search.
• If you do not change the time zone, Express GPS Connect will initially
search for satellites based on your previous position, increasing the
time required to obtain a position fix.

Troubleshooting reminders
When a troubleshooting procedure requires uninstalling the battery pack or resetting the
device, note the following:
• If the procedure requires uninstalling the battery pack, first turn the device off.
Once it is off, wait for five seconds to allow the device to completely enter
sleep mode before removing the battery pack.
Troubleshooting procedures
The following sections describe a list of possible situations that may arise during the use
of your device. Easy answers and solutions are provided for each one.
Battery problem
Memory on your SP510 EDA is shared between storage memory and program memory.
Storage memory is used to store the information you create and programs you install.
Program memory is used to run programs on your device. Your device automatically
manages the allocation between storage and program memory.
To view memory allocation and availability:
1 Tap > Settings .
2 On the System tab, tap Memory .
Battery loses power
When the battery is low, you see a battery icon (See “Status icons” on page 18 for
more information) in the navigation bar and a pop up screen that tells you to recharge the
battery as soon as possible.
Your device uses both a detachable and rechargeable main battery pack and an
embedded backup battery cell. When the main battery pack is removed or is completely
drained out, your device shuts down. The backup battery cell retains data for 30 minutes
after which you risk losing all data on the internal memory of your device.
Tips on how to make battery charge last longer
To make your battery charge to last as long as possible, observe the guidelines listed
below:
• Use external power whenever possible
Use the AC adapter to plug your device into external power whenever possible,
especially when:
• Establishing a remote connection
• Using the backlight
• Watching/listening to audio or video files
• Connecting to a computer and/or server
• Shorten auto suspend time
While on battery power, your device automatically suspends operation if you
haven’t touched the hardware buttons or used the stylus for a specified period of
time. Maximize battery life by shortening this time.
(a) Tap > Settings .
(b) On the System tab, tap Power .
(c) On the Advanced tab, adjust the setting on the “On battery power” pick list.
If the device lapses into sleep mode, allow ample time before turning it back
on to allow for a smoother power mode transition. The device wakes up from
sleep mode when any of the following events occur:
• The Power button .
• The device is connected to the USB sync cable.
• A storage card is inserted into the SD/MMC expansion slot.

appropriate response, it means the touch screen has lost its calibration.
To recalibrate the screen:
1 Open the Align Screen via software or hardware function.
• Software launching
(a) Tap > Settings .
(b) On the System tab, tap Screen .
(c) On the General tab, tap Align Screen.

Troubleshooting
Resetting your SP510
You may have to perform a reset if the device freezes (i.e., device no longer responds to
the buttons on the screen).
To perform a soft reset:
A soft reset allows your device to get a fresh start, similar to rebooting a computer. This
restarts your device and adjusts memory allocation. All records and entries are retained
after a soft reset. Unsaved data in open programs may in some cases be lost.
1 Remove the stylus from its holder.
2 Lightly press the tip of the stylus to the reset button located on the lower-left side of
the device.
To perform a hard reset:
A hard reset removes power to your device. This erases all records and entries, deletes
all additional programs you have installed, and restores the device’s default factory
settings. Never perform a hard reset unless a soft reset does not correct your problem.
When you perform your next ActiveSync operation, you can restore any data that you
previously synchronized to your computer or you can restore data that you backed up to
a storage card.
NOTE: When you perform a hard reset, the date and time settings are not retained.
Formats, preferences, and other settings are restored to their default factory
settings.
1 Hold down the Power and Push to Talk buttons.
2 While holding down the Power and Push to Talk buttons, gently press the tip of the
stylus to the Reset button.
3 Release the Reset button.
The message “To clear all data in the memory, press Volume Up Button. To cancel
the operation, press Volume Down Button.” appears.
4 Release the Power and Push to Talk buttons.
5 Press the top key of the Volume button.
You will be prompted to confirm the hard
reset.
