By pressing the power button on the top of HI-405BT (Keep push the power button for 2~3 seconds, the power will turned on), the red light on the side of HI-405BT stay on (the GPS not get 3D fixed yet) and the GPS receiver start searching the satellite data. Please make sure place the HI-405BT outdoor open space without blocking so that it can get the proper satellite signal.

GPS receiver has valid position fix. The 1PPS output is always generated when the GPS receiver is powered-on. Proper adjustment of the 1PPS output to align with the GPS second requires calculation of the receiver clock offset and clock drift-rate as part of the position-velocity-time (PVT) solution.
SOFTWARE INTERFACE This section describes the details of the serial port commands through which the HI-405BT GPS module is controlled and monitored. The serial port commands allow users to set the receiver parameters, configure output message type, and retrieve status information.
Page 22
NMEA Messages The serial interface protocol is based on the National Marine Electronics Association's NMEA 0183 ASCII interface specification. This standard is fully define in "NMEA 0183, Version 3.01" The standard may be obtained from NMEA, www.nmea.org GGA - GPS FIX DATA Time, position and position-fix related data (number of satellites in use, HDOP, etc.).
