XGPS150

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the XGPS150 Universal
Bluetooth® GPS Receiver from Dual Electronics.

The XGPS150 works with signals from GPS satel­lites to determine your location anywhere in the
world. It then can transmit your location informa­tion to many kinds of devices which have Blue­tooth connectivity and support the Bluetooth Serial

Port Prole (SPP). This includes:

• the iPhone® (generations 2 through 4)

• the iPod touch® (generations 2 through 4)

• the rst generation of the iPad

You can also connect the XGPS150 to many An­droid®, Windows® or Blackberry® smart phones
and tablets, as well as to notebook computers run­ning Windows or OS X.

NOTE: Not all manufacturers include SPP in their

devices, even if the device has Bluetooth. Please
consult the owner’s manual for your specic de­vice to determine whether it supports SPP. Some
devices, like Android-based devices, may need a
helper app to connect to the XGPS150. See Pair-
ing with your device for more information.

• Set the mode switch on the XGPS150 for the

type of device you will be using.

• Pair the XGPS150 with the device you will be

using.

With the tip of a ne ballpoint pen, move the mode
switch to the proper position:

• If you are using the XGPS150 with an iPad,

iPod touch or iPhone slide the switch right,
away from the USB connector.

• To use the XGPS150 with an Android, Win­dows or Blackberry smart phone, laptop com­puter or tablet, move the mode switch to the left,
towards the USB connector.
