Receiving Satellite Signals
The Bluetooth GPS Receiver gets satellite signals only when there is a clear view of the sky.
Trees and tall buildings can block the view. Generally, you do not receive signals inside a
building.
✎Note: The Bluetooth GPS Receiver should be placed on the front or back dashboard of the
vehicle. A wireless connection between the Bluetooth GPS Receiver and iPAQ PocketPC is
established through the receiver radio. The Bluetooth GPS receiver and the iPAQ PocketPC
should be no further than 5-10 meters apart.
Once a connection is established between the Bluetooth GPS Receiver and iPAQ PocketPC,
satellite signals are received. When you first use the Bluetooth GPS Receiver, it can take from
five to fifteen minutes to receive a satellite signal. Thereafter, it should take approximately 90
seconds to receive signals.
✎Note: Some days, you receive a GPS signal quicker than on other days. Although GPS signals
orbit the earth in set patterns, they are not always over the same position on earth. There is more
extensive coverage over lower latitudes and less near the poles.
Based on satellite position, geographic location, and heading, you can experience the following:
■Satellite signals are received quicker at specific times of the day. For example, at 10 A.M.,
you can receive signals under a minute since there are more satellites visible in the sky. At 3
P.M., you may not receive signals because only two satellites are visible in the sky.

12 www.hp.com User’s Guide
■Buildings can block satellite signals. Setting up the GPS receiver in a vertical window blocks
at least 50% of the sky. Trees also can block satellite signals.
■A window with a Southern view, rather than Northern view, should be used to receive
signals.
The GPS Info screen displays.
✎Note: The Bluetooth GPS receiver performs at its best when the battery is fully charged. If you
are at a location receiving weak signals, verify the Bluetooth GPS receiver is connected to the
DC power charger.

Troubleshooting
Problem Solution
I cannot get a GPS signal • Ensure your GPS receiver is switched on and fully charged up.
• Take your GPS receiver outside so you have a clear view of the
sky.
• Allow 5-10 minutes to receive a GPS signal. If GPS receiver has
a valid signal, the green LED flashes.
I cannot connect my GPS
receiver to my PocketPC
• Check your GPS receiver and your iPAQ PocketPC are within
5-10 yards apart.
• Check the Bluetooth Radio on your iPAQ PocketPC is switched
on by tapping the Bluetooth icon at the bottom right side of the
Start screen.
• Check your GPS receiver is switched on and charged.
• Switch on the power switch; if the GPS receiver is not charged
up the power LED is red.
My GPS receiver has asked me
for a passkey to connect
The GPS receiver has a default passkey of 2003.
The Bluetooth Manager may be set to require a passkey.
• Tap on the Bluetooth icon > Bluetooth Settings.
• Tap the right arrow key at the bottom of the screen to the Serial
Port tab.
• Ensure the Authentication (Passkey) required check box
is unchecked.
How do I know my GPS
receiver is working
• Verify the GPS receiver has a flashing blue light.(Bluetooth radio
is switched on.)
• Verify the GPS receiver has a green light. A solid light indicates
there is no valid GPS signal; a flashing light indicates there is a
valid GPS signal.
