Chapter 2 Getting Started
2.1 Checking the package content
Congratulations on your purchase of the 747ProS with + Lithium-Ion chargeable battery.
Before you start using 747ProS, please make sure if your package includes the following
items. If any item is damaged or missing, please contact your dealer at once.
- 747ProS GPS Trip Recorder x 1
- USB to mini-USB cable x 1
- DC cigarette lighter adapter x 1
- + Lithium-Ion chargeable battery x 1
- CD Tool x 1 (user manual, software utility, driver)
- Quick start guide x 1
*. Unit package contents may vary depending on countries without prior notice.
*. NOTE: The CigaretteAdapter can only be used to charge 747ProS. Please don’t make use
of it with devices other than 747ProS.
2.2 Getting Started
Please follow the procedure step by step.
Charging Your Battery
To charge your 747ProS, you have to plug your USB cable into the power source. Charging
time is about 3~4 hours and you can charge from PC/ Notebook’s USB HOST or from
cigarette-lighter in car.
For the 1st time you use the 747ProS, please charge battery until it is full. The LED that
represents the battery is the right-most battery icon.

10
- If the LED is red, that means battery power is critically low. Charge immediately.
- If the LED is green, that means battery is charging now.
- If no LED light display that means battery is fully charged.
2.3 Helpful Tips
- It’s better to turn off the 747ProS when you don’t use it, or the serial Flash's life can’t last
long.
- Some vehicles having heavy metallic sun protecting coating on windshields may affect
GPS signal receptions
- Driving in and around high buildings may affect GPS signal receptions.
- Driving in tunnels or indoor park may affect signal receptions.
- In general, any GPS receiver performs best in open space where it can see clean sky. Also
weather will affect GPS reception – rain & snow contribute to worse sensitivity.
- 747ProS output data updates every second, therefore the actual position and the position
shown in your map may have slight time delay. This may happen when you drive at
higher speed or make a turn around a corner.
- Note that 747ProS may not work indoors where it can not see the sky.
- For the 1st time you use the 747ProS, it will take 1 to 3 minutes to obtain the satellite
constellation information and fix your position, this is called “Cold Start”. If you replace
the battery, 747ProS will do Cold Start again.
- If your 747ProS can’t fix your position for more than 20 minutes, we suggest you change
to another spot with open space and then try again.

Chapter 3 How to configure your GPS Record?
The GpsView program only supports the Microsoft Windows based platform.
3.1 Driver Installation
Before the USB connector plugs in your PC/ Laptop, please have your USB Driver
Installation ready. (Install InstallDriver.exe driver for USB port from CD-ROM.)
3.2 GpsView software
Open GpsView software and select correct COM port and Baud Rate and then click “On”
button to establish the communication between 747ProS and PC. If the connection is
successful, the NMEA stream will keep showing.
Default baud rate of 747ProS is 115200bps

3.2.1 Configuration
In Setup Page, Output frequency of each NMEA can be changed from 1second to 5 seconds
and Fix update–Rate can be changed from 1 time to 5 times per second. DGPS like WAAS,
EGNOS, MSAS can be enable or disable. Here also allow users to update the AGPS and
record the NMEA sentence.

GGA(1), GSA(1), GSV(1),
RMC(1) + 1 = GGA(1), GSA(1), GSV(1), RMC(1)
GGA(1), GSA(1), GSV(1),
RMC(1) + 2 = GGA(1/2), GSA(1/2), GSV(1/2), RMC(1/2)
GGA(1), GSA(1), GSV(1),
RMC(1) + 3 = GGA(1/3), GSA(1/3), GSV(1/3), RMC(1/3)
GGA(1), GSA(1), GSV(1),
RMC(1) + 4 = GGA(1/3), GSA(1/3), GSV(1/3), RMC(1/3)
GGA(1), GSA(1), GSV(1),
RMC(1) + 5 = GGA(1/5), GSA(1/5), GSV(1/5), RMC(1/5)
Note:
1. GGA(1) means GGA sentence output every 1 second, GGA(2) output every 2 seconds.
2. GGA(1/2) means GGA sentence output 2 times per second, (1/5) output 5 times per
second.
3.2.2 Update AGPS
Step1. Make sure you have network available for accessing the internet.
Step2. Connect 747ProS to PC and then open GpsView to establish the communication.
Step3. Go to “Setup” page
Step4. Click “Update” button under AGPS to update the AGPS data. The program will
connect to the AGPS server and download the data automatically. You can also check the
valid time of AGPS by clicking Query. Clear AGPS data by clicking Reset.

Note: AGPS has 6 day time limited.
