Ilostmytravel
charger,and
wherecanIfinda
travelchargerfor
theGPSunit?
DCInputrangeofBT‐Q1000Pis4.5~5.5V.Youcanuse
atravelchargerwhichsupportDCoutputrangefrom
4.5~5.5V.Besides,youcanalsouseacommonmini
USBcabletochargeyourunitviathelaptop.Besides,
thebatteryusedforBT‐Q1000Piscompatiblewith
Nokiaphonesseries:BL‐5C.
Inoticedthatthe
internalclock
timeis1hour
behind,howcanI
do?
Thereisnointernalclockdelay;itisUTCtime
(Greenwichtime)thatconfusedyou.Forlocaltime,
youcanadjustunder<Tool>\<Option>andseethe
localDate/Timeunder"SatelliteInformation"tabof
utility.
Canthelogged
databe
downloadedby
Bluetooth?
SofarBluetoothfunctionisnotastandardcomponent
onlaptop.Sowedidn'tperformthedownloadvia
Bluetoothinterface.BT‐Q1000Pisdesignedto
downloaddataviaUSBinterface.
Whydoes
BT‐Q1000Ponly
canlog
150,000~160,00
0waypoints?
Weactivatemoreoptionspreviouslytoprovide
detailedGPSinformationforuser’sreferenceand
download.Soitwouldusemorememory.Ifyou
reducetheoptions(underLogFormat)foryourlog,it
wouldsavethememoryandincreasemorewaypoints.
MyBT‐Q1000P
couldnotuse32
hours?
BT‐Q1000Pcanuse32hoursundertheoptimum
environment.GPSwouldneedmorepower
consumptionwhenkeeptryingapositionfix,seeking
Bluetoothconnection,orunderanunstable
environment(badweather,forest,buildings).Those
wouldtakeGPSmorecalculationandpower
consumption.Soitwouldspendmorepower
consumption.AftertheredLEDlightisblanking,itstill
canbeusedforyournavigationwithoutanyproblem.
