XGPS160
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the XGPS160 SkyProTM
Bluetooth® GPS Receiver from Dual Electronics.
The XGPS160 works with signals from both US
and Russian satellite systems to determine your
location anywhere
in the world. It then can transmit
your location information to many kinds
of devices
which have Bluetooth connectivity and support the
Bluetooth Serial Port Profile (SPP). This includes:
• the
iPad® (generations 1 through 4)
• the iPad mini (generation 1)
• the iPod touch® (generations 2 through 5)
• the iPhone® (generations 2 through 5)
You can also connect the XGPS160 to many An-
droid®, Windows® or Blackberry® smart phones
and tablets, as well as to notebook computers run-
ning Windows or OS X.
NOTE: Not all manufacturers include SPP in their
devices, even if the device has Bluetooth. Please
consult the owner's manual for your specific de-
vice to determine whether it supports
SPP. Some
devices, like Android-based devices, may need a
helper app to connect to the XGPS160. See Pair-
ing with
your device for more information.

The XGPS160 is very simple to use. There is a
one-time setup process to connect it to your iPad,
iPod, smart phone, tablet or laptop computer.
Once this setup process
is completed, simply turn
on the XGPS160 to begin using
it.
To setup the XGPS160 with your device, you will
need to do two things:
·Power on the XGPS160.
• Pair the XGPS160 with the device you will
be
.
USing.
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 XGPS160 with a new device, and
the XGPS160 will automatically try to reconnect to
the last device it was paired with.
NOTE: If your device requires a code to connect
during the pairing process, use "0000" or "1234".

let apps communicate with the XGPS160. Sev-
eral
helper
apps are available, and
we
recom-
mend using a free
app
on the Google Play store
