and on the product. In order to avoid injuries, electrocution, fire and damages to the product, observe the following precautions:
ELECTRIC SECURITY
This product is designed for operation with power supply via the USB port. Any other operation mode can be dangerous and may
void the warranty claims for this product. This unit contains an internal back-up battery.
NOTE: RECYCLE OR DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES OR RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES IN
ACCORDANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE REGULATIONS AND THE INSTRUCTIONS
INCLUDED WITH THE PRODUCT.
PRECAUTIONS REGARDING DIRECT SUNLIGHT
Make sure the unit is not exposed to very high humidity and temperatures. Never leave the unit, the battery or the rechargeable
battery for an extended period in a vehicle or plate, where the temperature can increase to over 60°C (140°F), for example on the
dashboard of a car, the window sill or behind a pane of glass, which is directly exposed to the sun or very strong UV light.
Otherwise the unit or the vehicle may be damaged, and the battery or the rechargeable battery may overheat.
Damages requiring repairs
Disconnect the unit from the AC supply in the following cases; also disconnect the rechargeable battery and contact an
authorized repair man or your dealer if.
• Liquid or an object has entered the product.
• The product has fallen down or was damaged.
• There are visible signs of overheating.
• When operated normally, the product does not function flawlessly.
Avoid using the unit directly after strong temperature changes.
If the unit is exposed to strong temperature and humidity fluctuations, condensation can form in the unit. In order to avoid
damages to the unit, please wait until the condensation has dried off before using the unit.
NOTE: If you bring the unit from a cold to a warm environment, or vice versa, first let it get
accustomed to the new temperature before turning it on.

2. Starting operation, e.g. with an USB adapter cable (article number 61264)
2.1. Plug the USB cable in a free USB port on your notebook etc., and connect it with the NL-
603P. The NL-603P will be recognized by your Windows operating system, which will attempt
to install a driver. Abort this process, and start “ublox5_install.exe” from the CD-ROM, or
download the driver from the Navilock website. Follow the installation instructions. After the
installation is complete, re-start your computer. Then the GPS COM port will be available in
the Device Manager under Connections. Set this port in your navigation or route planner
software. Do not use another program that accesses this port at the same time.
3. LED indicator
Flashes, with Satfix
Lights, without Satfix
3. Application environment
The NL-603P can be used as a serial GPS receiver under Windows CE/2000/XP/Vista/7, Linux
ex Kernel 2.6.x. Corresponding adapter cables can be found in the catalog on the CD-ROM and
under www.navilock.com.
4. Functional test with u-Center 6
1. Install the u-Center software on your unit. Select the version suitable for your system. U-
Center is a pure test program and cannot be used for navigation or orientation. It must
always be closed after the test. It blocks the COM port and does not allow any access of
the navigation or route software to the COM port. It also serves for updating the Assist
GPS data and switching to EGNOS.
If the NMEA protocol is displayed in u-Center, but you cannot find a receiver in the application
software, the connection problem is not with the receiver, but with the selected software setting.
In this case, the software manufacturer support center may be able to help you.

After starting the u-Center software, check the functionality of your NL-603P.
1. Select the COM port
2. Select the baud rate
3. Download Assist GPS and update the receiver
4. Visual display of the NMEA data
5. Configuration manager
6. NMEA/UBX message console
7. NMEA text console
As shown below, you can set up your u-Center by yourself. Everything important can be
connected and displayed immediately. The green bars at the bottom of the picture show the
reception quality at your position. If no bars are displayed, please change your position. The NL-
603P cannot receive anything in a closed building. If the blue bars are displayed, the receiver is
still acquiring the data and verifying the received data.

5. EGNOS configuration with u-Center 6
In order to switch the NL-603P to EGNOS reception, you must enter the configuration mode.
There you can select different setting functions. More detailed information can be found in the
current documentation at the URL http://www.u-blox.com.
To switch the NL-603P to EGNOS reception, please click the menu bar on item 5. A small
window will open, in which all settings for the receiver can be made.
First, click on “SBAS“ (Satellite Based Augmentation System). Then the SBAS settings item
opens on the right. Click on the first free field before item 1 and 2. Then, click on item 3
“Sending”. The changed data will then be transmitted to the receiver. Close the window. You will
be asked if you want to save this setting. Click on YES.
EGNOS is still in operation mode. The long-planned switch-over to regular operation was
repeatedly postponed. This is the reason why the use of the EGNOS correction in the NL-
603P is deactivated in the default setup. That is not to say that by using these correction
values the location determination will become better. The users must decide for
themselves if they want to use this function or not.
6. Assist GPS configuration with u-Center 6
The NL-603P supports AssistNow!
AssistNow is a standard A-GPS service, which increases the performance of the GPS
receiver, by calculating a position almost immediately, even under difficult reception conditions.
A-GPS improves all GPS capable applications, especially those that require a continuous state of
readiness, for example applications for fleet management or GPS capable hand-held devices,
whose users would like to access local services immediately, independently of the reception
conditions.
Without A-GPS, a GPS receiver must localize at least 4 satellites in the direct line of vision, and
then download their location data. This process takes 30 seconds under optimal reception
conditions, but under less favorable conditions it may take much longer, e.g. in an urban
environment or in a building, where the GPS reception is weaker. AssistNow sends the data

directly to the GPS receiver, thus enabling a quick calculation of the position. AssistNow sends
the data directly to the GPS receiver, thus enabling a quick calculation of the position.
The offline service provides support data, which are valid up to 14 days. The user can thus profit
for longer periods from the increased satellite acquisition performance, and they need an
internet connection only occasionally, in order to update the support data.
The call-up and data transmission functions can be found in the menu bar of the u-Center.
Click on the AGPS function in the menu bar to update AssistNow and to load the NL-603P.
A small window with a small pull-down menu appears, in which you can see the validity of the
data. Choose the desired validity period. Click on “Flash update”, and then on OK. The UPDATE
window opens and shows that the u-Center has loaded the data and is transmitting them to the
NL-603P. When this process is finished, the window turns green, and the messages “SEND
CANCEL” and “DONE” are displayed. This finishes the process.
Further information to the u-Center can be found in the u-blox documentation under
http://www.u-blox.com/products/u_center.html. If you have any questions, please contact u-
blox directly.
Danger of explosion if contact with fire!
Do not permanently expose the receiver to temperatures of over 60°C (140°F).
6. Possible sources of error and their elimination
6.1 The green LED doesn’t light up after the first connection to the USB port. Make
sure that the PC or notebook is turned on, and test the USB port, possibly with
another USB device. If this other USB device works fine, please contact the
support center. If this other USB device works fine, please contact the support
center.
6.2 The green LED continues to light even after a long waiting time, but you still don’t
get a Satfix. The NL-603P needs up to 20 minutes for its first Satfix on another
continent. To get a Satfix the view to the sky must be unobstructed. Move the NL-
603P as far as possible from the wall. A house wall reflects the signal strongly
and contributes to the Satfix time delay.

6.3 Your PC doesn’t support the auto start function, and doesn’t start the CD-ROM
automatically. Please check under http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-
us/library/Aa969329.aspx.
6.4. The NL-603P came in touch with jet water (water jet from a shower head or strong rain
(when it was mounted on a car roof). Do not connect the receiver with the notebook etc.
under any circumstances, because it will otherwise be completely and irreparably
destroyed. Return the receiver to our support center, mentioning “water damage”. The
support center will disassemble the receiver, dry it and check its functionality.
The Navilock repair center tries to be as obliging as possible, so please tell as the real reason for
the defect. During the error analysis, we can generally detect if the cause for the defect was an
external cause, water damage, dropping, over-voltage or the wrong handling of the unit.
Failures are often the result of little problems. It is not always necessary to exchange the product
immediately, because this will not solve the cause of the failure if it is not a GPS hardware
problem.
Before visiting your dealer, please contact the Navilock support center. They will try to help you
quickly and without further ado, so that the circumstances of an exchange, which might in any
case be unnecessary, are avoided.
In this case, please write down a detailed description of the error, add this information to your
end device and the software used in this device, as well as the operation environment (operating
system, service pack version, CPU size and type, storage size, hard disk drive and interface
etc.), and send an e-mail to [e-mail].
A support member will look into your problem and work out a solution.
We hope your Navilock product brings you fun and enjoyment!
