2.5 Auto Shut-Off Function
By default, your BT-359 has a built-in timer that will automatically power down your
BT-359 GPS receiver whenever it looses the Bluetooth paring connection to the host
device for more than 10 minutes. This will help to keep you from returning to a dead
GPS battery in the event you accidentally might have left the vehicle and forgot to
turn off the GPS.
Auto Shut-Off Override Switch
This feature is not found on all models of the BT-359 and is usually not required by
most users. However, for those who may have applications that require an override
to the Auto Shut-Off feature to keep the BT-359 powered at all times regardless of
the Bluetooth paring status, then only these GPS models, the BT-359 can be used
since they come equipped with the special override slide switch located under the
battery.
To disable the Auto Shut-Off feature, simple use a thin sharp object like a pin, or
paper clip to gently slide the switch into the OFF position. The GPS will now remain
ON indefinitely until the power switch is turned off, or until the battery is dead, so use
caution when operating in this mode.

We strongly suggest that you first test your GPS with the included GPS Info utility
program to confirm that the GPS receiver if functioning properly on your PC and that
you have successfully configured the right COM Port setting. Once this has been
done, close the GPS Info program and start your application for COM port
configuration.
NOTE: By default, your PC will not allow you to run multiple applications from a
single COM port. It is important that you close any previously opened GPS
application before switching to another GPS application as the GPS receiver and
data will not be found by the new program.
