• Certain windshields contain materials such as mercury vapor barriers
which can block or reduce GPS signals. Certain metals such as lead
(e.g., in lead-based paint) can also block GPS signals from the receiver.
STEP 3: Connect to Bluetooth Enabled Mobile Computer
For specific Bluetooth connection instructions, refer to the documentation
for your Bluetooth hardware and GPS software.
1. The Bluetooth Status LED should be emitting a solid blue light
to show that the Bluetooth radio is on but not connected. From
your mobile computer, perform a Bluetooth device discovery.
2. Pair and bond with the GPS Receiver. Enter the passkey
3. After the GPS Receiver and mobile computer have connected, the
Bluetooth Status LED will blink blue.
4. Determine which COM port number your mobile computer is using for
Bluetooth outbound serial communication. Refer to the user
documentation for your Bluetooth hardware/software for instructions.
5. If you are using the Socket SDIO or CF Connection Kit with a Pocket
PC, set the GPS Receiver as your Favorite COM Port. In the Bluetooth
Devices folder, tap Tools | My Favorites | COM Port and select BTGPS.
STEP 4: Use GPS Application
1. Make sure your GPS software is compatible with the Socket GPS
Receiver. The software must be able to use the COM port assigned to
your mobile computer for outbound Bluetooth serial communications.
2. Load the GPS program plus any needed maps onto the mobile computer.
3. Start the program. Set it for the correct COM port for outbound
Bluetooth serial communication. If needed, set the baud rate to 4800
bps.
4. Now you should be ready to use the program. Refer to the software user
documentation. More configurations may be needed.
