• Ensure your GPS receiver is switched on and fully charged up.
• Take your GPS receiver outside so you have a clear view of the
sky.
• Allow 5-10 minutes to receive a GPS signal. If GPS receiver has
a valid signal, the green LED flashes.
• Check your GPS receiver and your iPAQ PocketPC are within
5-10 yards apart.
• Check the Bluetooth Radio on your iPAQ PocketPC is switched
on by tapping the Bluetooth icon at the bottom right side of the
Start screen.
• Check your GPS receiver is switched on and charged.

up the power LED is red.
The GPS receiver has a default passkey of 2003.
The Bluetooth Manager may be set to require a passkey.
• Tap on the Bluetooth icon > Bluetooth Settings.
• Tap the right arrow key at the bottom of the screen to the Serial
Port tab.

there is no valid GPS signal; a flashing light indicates there is a
valid GPS signal.
