Introduction
Whether you travel in your own country, or overseas, the B10 receiver will provide you with a Global
Positioning System (GPS) based location accurate to within 5m (15ft) for 95% of the time.
The B10 receiver is a dual-function GPS receiver, which can transmit satellite information to a PDA or
laptop with Bluetooth interfaces.
The B10 receiver contains:
a GPS antenna to receive signals from the GPS satellites
an internal microcomputer to calculate the position of the receiver on Earth and update position
data every second
a Bluetooth link to send the GPS position to your PDA within a radius of less than 10m (33ft)
a built-in rechargeable battery.
The B10 receiver can be used anywhere; for example, in your pocket or your vehicle glovebox,
although it is preferred that the receiver has a clear view of the sky and can receive GPS signals
easily.

GPS and GPS Signals
The B10 receiver will send the GPS position information to your PDA or laptop computer which may
then be used by your third-party software to plot your position on a map and direct you to your
destination.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is available at any time, free of charge, and is accurate to within
5m (15ft). GPS navigation is made possible by a network of satellites that orbit the Earth at around
20,200km (12,552mi). Each satellite transmits a range of signals which are utilized by GPS receivers,
such as your B10, to determine an exact location. Although a GPS receiver can detect signals from
up to 12 satellites at any time, only four signals are required to provide a position or "GPS fix" (latitude
and longitude), for vehicle navigation systems.
To guarantee the optimum GPS signal strength, ensure your B10 is outdoors, or in a vehicle outdoors
and has an unobstructed view of the sky. Your B10 can operate in all weather types except snowfall.
For more GPS information, see the GPS Navigation - Frequently Asked Questions guide, which is
available on our website. To visit our website, see: http://www.navman.com.

Battery
The B10 receiver has an internal, rechargeable battery. For minimum time to obtain a GPS fix, ensure
that the battery is always in the B10 receiver.
The life of the battery is approximately 10 hours.

B10 Bluetooth GPS Receiver | How do I get started?
13
How do I charge the battery?
There are two ways of charging the battery. These are listed below.
By Vehicle Power Adaptor
You can use the vehicle power adapter to power the B10 receiver when in a vehicle. If the vehicle
power adapter is plugged in, the receiver will use the external power supply and charge the internal
battery.
1. Plug the connecting end of the vehicle power adapter in your 12V In-vehicle power adaptor
socket.
2. Plug the USB (larger) end of the USB cable in to the USB socket on the vehicle power adapter.
3. Plug the smaller end of the USB cable in to the external power adapter socket on the B10
receiver.

B10 Bluetooth GPS Receiver | How do I get started?
14
By USB cable
To charge the battery via the USB cable:
Plug the large end of the USB cable directly into a USB port on your computer (not a USB
hub); plug the small end into the side of the B10 receiver. The battery status light on the front
of your B10 receiver turns on.
Where possible, plug the USB cable into a USB port at the back of your computer.
When the battery is charging, the battery status light is green. When the battery is fully charged, the
light is off. If you don’t see the status light even momentarily, try another USB port on your computer.
Rechargeable batteries have a limited number of charge cycles. Battery life and number of charge cycles vary by use
and settings.

15
How do I position the B10 receiver
in a vehicle?
The B10 receiver and your PDA or laptop computer are mounted separately in your vehicle. Use the
following guides to choose a suitable position for the B10 receiver:
The receiver should be in a position where it has a good view of the sky and horizon.
The receiver must not obstruct your view, or interfere with the operation of the vehicle or the
vehicle safety equipment.
The receiver must be accessible so that you can operate the Bbutton.
Avoid placing the receiver near sources of electrical interference or noise.
Avoid locations subjected to excessive shock or vibration.
The receiver must be within the Bluetooth range (approx 10m/33ft) of your PDA or laptop
computer.
The receiver is not waterproof — mount it where it will not get wet (including condensation).

16
How do I connect the B10 receiver
to my PDA or laptop?
To establish a Bluetooth connection between your PDA or laptop computer and the B10 receiver,
complete the following steps:
1. Turn on the B10 receiver.
Slide the
Bbutton to ON.
The ?light will show as blue, then start flashing to indicate that it is not connected to another
Bluetooth device.
2. Turn on your PDA/laptop.
3. Turn on Bluetooth on your PDA/laptop and connect to the B10 receiver:
Ensure that the ?light on the B10 receiver is still flashing.
Turn on Bluetooth on your PDA/laptop and establish a connection with the B10 receiver by
following the documentation supplied with your PDA/laptop or Bluetooth card.
If you are prompted for a Passkey or Device PIN, use the following Passkey / Device PIN:
Device Name Passkey / Device PIN
NAVMAN GPS TWO 0000
When a connection has been established between your PDA/laptop and B10 receiver, the
light on the B10 receiver will change to flash once every 3 seconds.
4. Pocket PC Only — Determine the Bluetooth COM Port.
Identify the outbound COM port used to create a serial port connection between your PDA
and the B10 receiver by following the documentation supplied with your PDA or Bluetooth
card.
Specify the outbound COM port in your third-party software to receive GPS data from the
B10 receiver.
You are now ready to obtain a GPS fix.
How does my B10 get a GPS Fix?
The term "GPS fix" is used to describe when your B10 receiver has enough information from four or
more GPS satellites to calculate your position. You can monitor the strength of the GPS signal using
your third-party software. See your third-party software User Manual for more information.
When you turn on your B10 receiver, it may take several minutes to get the first GPS fix. You can
minimize the amount of time this takes by:
Positioning the B10 receiver according to the guidelines. For more information, see "How do I
position the B10 receiver in a vehicle?" on page 15.
Remaining stationary until the B10 receiver has a GPS fix.
