From the Edito
r
One of my Japanese friends once told me: “I can manage our language, which has hundreds of
different characters; but I just can’t manage a language that has only 26 characters or letters.”
“Yes, indeed,” I answered, “There are thousands of different characters in my native language, I
can manage over 90% of them; Unfortunately, I’m also unable to manage a language which has only
26 characters.”
It’s hard to learn English. Let me show you some examples: you fill in a form by filling it out
and an alarm clock goes off by going on. You get in and out of a car, yet you get on and off a bus.
When the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And why,
when I wind up my watch, I start it, but when I wind up this essay, I end it? English is a strange
language ... it doesn't seem know if it is coming or going!
I sincerely hope GT-11/BGT-11 may guide you where to go. Should you have any questions or
comments on this manual, please feel free to let us have your feedback. It would be our great
pleasure to improve this manual for you.
Sincerely your,
The Editor

Warning and Cautions
Taking your eyes off the road can cause accidents and serious damage or personal injury. Do not change any
settings on GT-11/BGT-11 while driving or riding. Come to a complete stop or have your passenger make any
changes. Do not secure GT-11/BGT-11 over airbag panels or in a place where the driver or passengers are likely to
come into contact with it in the event of an accident or collision. Never dispose of the GT-11/BGT-11 in a fire. This
can cause the built-in lithium-ion polymer rechargeable battery to explode. If, for any reason, the electrolytic liquid of
the battery comes into contact with the skin or the eyes, flush with plenty of water and call for medical help
immediately.
The GPS system is operated and maintained by the
government of the United States, which is solely
responsible for the accuracy and maintenance of the GPS.
The system is subject to change which could affect the
accuracy and performance of all GPS equipment.
I know it’s pretty. But …
taking your eyes off
the road can cause
accidents and
serious damage or
personal injury.
Accuracy can also be affected by poor satellite geometry
and by various other causes. Do not rely solely on this
device for precision measurement or navigation.
The GT-11/BGT-11 does not contain any user
serviceable parts. Please contact our authorized dealers
for repair. Unauthorized repair will void the warranty.

Introduction to GT-11/BGT-11
The GT-11/BGT-11 is a wonderfully compact, business card sized navigator,
carefully designed to embody ergonomic principles. It will comfortably fit in the
palm of your hand, mount on the handlebar of bike or motorcycle, and can even
be worn on your wrist or arm. The stylish unit can stand on your desk as a
funky gadget, or, more usefully, can be placed on the dashboard in your car.
The GT-11/BGT-11 can run for up to 32 hours in power saving mode with
the built-in lithium ion polymer rechargeable battery. It can be recharged while
connected to car cigarette lighter, mains power outlet, or your PC/Notebook.
When traveling where no car or mains power is available, you may purchase an
AA battery adapter, or a rechargeable power bank (Solar charger)
to extend the usage.
A state-of-the-art Thumb Stick allows for simple, one-handed
operation. This rugged navigator is waterproof to IPX7 standards or, immersible in the
water for 30 minutes at a depth of 1 meter, and, it floats!
GT-11/BGT-11 is not only developed to handle outdoor activities, but also to
handle various professional uses, such as speed, hazard area, zone alerts, altitude, or
other alerts defined by the user. To store trip data for longer journeys, there is a
SD/MMC slot for extra data storage capacity.

Before Getting Started
The greatest discovery of my generation
is that a human being can alter his life by
altering his attitudes of mind.
William James (1842-1910)
Before Use
1) Charge the battery. It takes around 4 hours for
the built-in battery to charge fully.
2) Initialize the receiver. Leave the
GT-11/BGT-11S outside with a clear view of sky
until it has fixed its position. After that, it
needs only around 45 seconds to find its
location. When the unit has not been used for
long time, or it’s taken to a far distance from
where you initialized it, you will need to
re-initialize the unit before use.
3) Configure the system. Set up the parameters
under the Settings page. The system will store
your configuration on its built-in flash memory.
