Pairing with your device
Pairing is the process connecting two devices over
Bluetooth and allowing them to communicate. You
will need to go through the pairing process each
time you use the XGPS150 with a new device, and
the XGPS150 will automatically try to reconnect to
the last device it was paired with.
