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.) --> Start -> Bluetooth Manager New
21A. Open “Bluetooth Manager” on your pocket pc, and establish a new connection. --> Explore A Bluetooth device ->Next Tap 850 GPS B. Explore a Bluetooth device, and find the “850” Passkey 0000 (if your PDA asks for the passkey)
22C. (Optional) --> Select SPP slave->Next Finish D. Connect to Serial Port Profile (SPP) Slave --> Tap and Hold 850: SPP slave, Connect Done E. Finish Bluetooth Manager Setup
231. Loading your GPS mapping or routing software You should have mapping software on your PDA/ Smartphone/ laptop or you need to install it before using the 850 for navigation. 2. Starting the application Select the correct COM port & baud rate within the application. 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.
242.6 Helpful Tips - It’s better to turn off the 850 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 850 may affect signal receptions. - Please check the correct “COM” and “Baudrate” of your PDA. - 850 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 850 may not work indoors where it can not see the sky. - For the 1st time you use the 850, 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, 850 will do Cold Start again. - If your 850 can’t fix your position for more than 20 minutes, we suggest you change to another spot with open space and then try again.
