With HI-406BT-C, your mobile devices, such as, Smartphone, PocketPC, laptopPC, tabletPC, etc. can receive GPS data wirelessly and perform the GPS applications, such as, car navigation, personal navigation, route planning, tracking, etc. Equipped with the most powerful and ultra high sensitive SiRF StarIII chip set, HI-406BT-C can get the 3D fix in very short time and under poor reception environment, such as in the middle of the car, next to the tall building, in your backpack, or pocket. 3 In case the mobile device run out battery, the HI-406BT-C along can work independently telling you the directions by using the equipped digital compass. As soon as turning on the digital compass switch, the 12 LED on top of the HI-406BT-C will indicate the north and south based on the earth magnetic field by lighting up the direction: the red light indicating the north and the green light indicating the south. 4 1.2 Main Features: · 20 Channels "All- In-View" Tracking · P osition accuracy of 10 meters 2D RMS · Cold/W arm/Hot Start Time: 42/38/1 Seconds (Signal Strength > 30 dB-HZ) · R eacquisition Time: 0.1 seconds · Support Standard NMEA -0183 at 19200 bps baud rate (Defined by customer 4800 up to 57600) · Support P ower Saving Mode · Compatible with Bluetooth devices with Serial Port Profile (SPP) · Build-in digital compass with 12 LED indications · Superior Sensitivit y for Urban Canyon and Foliage Environment · Ultr a s mall, sleek, and lightweight design easily fits in your hand · Li-polymer battery lasts for more than 8 hours of use in connection 5 2.1 Setting up: Bluetooth GPS receiver STEP 1: Open the battery cap and put the battery (406-BTT) into the battery compartment. Push down and pull out 6 STEP 2 Connect the inclusive AC charger to home electronics outlet or connect the inclusive DC charger to the car cigarette lighter. As soon as they connected, the solid amber light on the right side in front of HI-406BT-C will turned on (stay on) meaning the battery charging. AC charger to home electronic outlet DC charger to car cigarette lighter (DC 12V~24V) Mini-1394 MMCX external antenna plug female connector for power in and GPS signal out 7 STEP 3 As soon as the battery fully charged, the amber light will turned off, then, up-plug the charger. Indicator for power charging and GPS status Indicator for battery low (Red) and Bluetooth status (Blue) 8 STEP 4 There is one of each switch on both side of HI-406BTC. The switch on the right side is for Bluetooth GPS receiver. The switch on the left side is for digital compass. As soon as turn on the switch on the right side, the GPS receiver will start to function and search the satellites. Meanwhile, the LED indicator on the right side in front of HI-406BT-C will turned green (stay on - the GPS receiver not get 3D fixed yet) Please make sure place the HI-406BT-C outdoor open space so that it can get the proper satellite signal. After HI-406BT-C gets enough satellite data (lock more than 4 satellites), HI-406BT-C is in 3D fixed and the green light start blinking. Digital compass Switch 9 Bluetooth GPS Switch LED indicator color Amber LED off Green (blinking) Green (Stay on) Blue (blinking) Blue (stay on) Red Status HI-406BT-C battery charging HI-406BT-C battery fully charged GPS in 3D fixed GPS searching more satellite and not in 3D fixed yet Bluetooth searching host device Bluetooth paired and connected HI-406BT-C battery low 10 STEP 5: As soon as turn on the switch on the right side, the Bluetooth will also start to function and searching. The blue light on the left side in front of HI-406BT-C will turned on (Blinking) meaning the Bluetooth is searching the host device and not get paired yet. Please consult the Bluetooth step by step connection guide from this manual on section . The pin code is " 0000 " when asked the pin code. After the Bluetooth paired and connected, the blue light will stay on. STEP 6: Open the mapping software from your mobile device, select the corresponding COM port and start GPS. STEP 7: Enjoy the state of the art wireless GPS navigation. 11 2.2 Setting up: Digital Compass As soon as turn on the switch on the left side, the digital compass will start to function and indicating the north (LED on red) and the south (LED on green) based on the earth magnetic field. Since the HI-406BT-C equipped with 2-axiel digital compass chip, please make sure place the HI-406BT-C on horizontal surfaced and no grater than 30 degree angle. The digital compass or the Bluetooth GPS receiver can work independently or work simultaneously. Even the Bluetooth GPS receiver switch turned off, the compass can work and the HI-406BT-C become a pure digital compass. 12 Notices about the digital compass: Even if HI-406BT-C digital compass functionality is normal, the sensing accuracy may be degraded by the following circumstances: 1. The earth magnetic field can be distorted next to the ferrous material, such as building, bridges, railroads, etc. 2. It can also be influenced by ferromagnetic material, like, next to a speaker. HI-406BT-C digital compass functionality is designed for general-purpose uses and not for specialpurpose uses, such as, aviation, space, traffic devices or medical applications for life support or any devices which can affect human life or injure human body if the device malfunction or degraded. The special-purpose use device will need special and higher level designed. 13 3. Dimensions Top View Unit: mm Button View 64.80 46.40 Side View Front View 24.00 Back View 14 4.
