The GPS system is operated by the government of the United States, which is solely
responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. Although the GPS 15H & 15L Products
are precision electronic Navigation AID (NAVAID), any NAVAID can be misused or
misinterpreted, and therefore become unsafe. Use these products at your own risk. To
reduce the risk, carefully review, and all aspects of these Technical Specifications before
using the GPS 15H & 15L. When in actual use, carefully compare indications from the
GPS to all available navigation sources including the information from other NAVAIDs,
visual sightings, chart, etc. For safety, always resolve any discrepancies before
continuing navigation.
Class B
The GPS 15H & 15L products comply with part 15 of the FCC interference limits for class
B digital devices FOR HOME OR OFFICE USE. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation, and are
more stringent than “outdoor” requirements.
Operation of this device is subject to the following conditions: (1) This device may not
cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to
radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the
user is encouraged to try correcting the interference by one or more of the following
CAUTIONS

Appendix C. GPS FAQs
Q: My Pocket device asks for a Paring code?
A: All Leadtek Bluetooth devices have a paring code “0000”.
Q: Why does the GPS positioning fail, even though the satellite signal appears to be
normal on my PDA?
A: The reason might be that the GPS has not been used for a while, and the GPS needs to
be reset. You may follow the steps below to reset for positioning with “Cold Start” under
“Navigator” application utility.
1. Tools Port Setting set the “Com Port” and “baud rate” to 4800 click “OK”.
2. Tools Command select “Cold Start” click “OK”.
Q: Why does the position of the car drift around on the map even when my PDA is
properly positioned?
A: This might be caused by unstable satellite signal and weak signal resulted from locating in
heavily blocked areas, which affect the positioning of the car onto the map.
Q: Why there are no sign of signal transmission in my map utility program and
positioning fails even though my GPS is connected?
A: This might be caused by incorrect COM Port setting. Most of the PDA map utility
programs search for GPS device, and the GPS device is not found in this case. It is
suggested that you set the COM Port settings manually instead.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________
- -16
Q: Why is the GPS device not found by the PDA map utility program after positioning is
completed by the “Navigator”?
A: “Navigator” is an application utility that users can use to test for GPS. After using
“Navigator”, you have to disconnect the GPS device in order to release the COM Port
before proceeding with the positioning by your PDA map utility program. Otherwise, the
COM Port will still be occupied by “Navigator”, and the PDA map utility program will not find
the GPS device.
Q: Why I can’t get the positioning to work with my GPS at home or areas by the
windows.
A: GPS is really used for outdoor positioning navigation, and the satellite signal is difficult to
be received at home. Especially, it takes a while to get the positioning to work for the very
first time. Therefore, positioning must be done outdoors where satellite signal can be
received.
Q: How can the Leadtek GPS 9537 BT Receiver signal and battery power level be
identified?
A: When the power is turned on, the Bluetooth signal is blue and it flashes. After Bluetooth
is connected with PDA, the Bluetooth signal flashes rapidly and even appears to be constantly
on. The Bluetooth signal turns green and blinks at a rate of once per second when GPS
positioning is completed. If the battery is running out of power, then the Bluetooth signal is
red when the power is turned on. In the case of low battery, turn off the device and recharge
the battery. The Bluetooth signal is constantly red when charging, and the signal will
automatically be set off once the battery is fully recharged.
Q: Why can’t I install “Navigator” application utility in my PDA?
A: “Navigator” application utility can be installed directly in most of the PDAs. For those
PDA models that have installation problems, you can search for a file called
Navigator.ARM.CAB, among the installation files. Copy this file to any folder in your PDA,
and install “Navigator” application utility by clicking on the file directly.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________
- -17
Q: Under what circumstances do I have to perform “Cold Start”?
A: If the positioning usage time is longer than two weeks or the location of positioning is
greater than 500 km away from the previous location of positioning, then you will need to
perform “Cold Start”.
