When the ASUS GPS-BT100 is not connected to another device (e.g. PDA), the GPS function automatically turns off to save power. The GPS function is automatically restored when another device connects to the ASUS GPS-BT100.

The ASUS GPS-BT100 is in idle mode. Turn off, then turn on the device to activate the Bluetooth function.

The device features a high temperature protection mechanism that prevents the battery from charging on hot places. Try charging the device at a cooler location.
