Caution

Read before you start to use：
¾ Global position system (GPS) is obtained by American Ministry of National Defense,

and they got the full responsibility about the preciseness and the maintenance. Any
changes may cause the capacity and preciseness of GPS differed.

¾ If you use this device inside of buildings, tunnels, or any huge objects beside you, the

GPS signals might be cut-off or disturbed. Please do not consider that the receiver is
malfunction.

¾ The receiver operating temperature is located between -10℃~60℃.For safety and

lifetime of Li-ion battery usage, do not place this device over two hours with overheated
environment.

0、Quick Start

0.1 Inside the Package

Thank you for purchasing our GPS product, and wish you have the best experience in
using. Please open the package, and check if everything in the list exists once you got it.
Please tell our salesman if anything missing.

A. Basic package

1. G66 multi-purpose Bluetooth GPS Receiver x 1

2. Car charger x1

3. Manual CD-Rom x 1

0.2 Connect to your PC/PDA

A. Touch the power pad for 1 seconds, power on the Bluetooth GPS receiver.
B. Put the Bluetooth GPS receiver at proper place (open sky) for good GPS signal

reception.

C. Turn on the power of your navigation platform like PDA/Smartphone etc…
D. Search for Bluetooth device by your Bluetooth manager on your Host Platform

(laptop/PDA/Smart phone). Normally Pin code is not necessary. But some Bluetooth
embedded system force to enter pin code (password), please fill [0000] in such
case.

E. Connect G66 Bluetooth GPS Receiver and then make sure baud rate set at

38400bps(standard) in your application program.

F. In firstly Use of this Bluetooth GPS Receiver, we strongly recommend you to bring

your Bluetooth GPS receiver outdoor or open sky at least 10~15 minutes for sure
3D position fixed and almanac updated.

1. Introduction

G66 Bluetooth GPS Receiver is a total solution of GPS receiver with MediaTek 51
channel all-in-view tracking technology. GPS antenna, Bluetooth transmit/receive system
are included. It is designed on the most advantage MediaTek Single Chip Solution
(MT3318), got the full-function, and RoHS compliant, industry-level locating capacity and

low prices.

You can use this Bluetooth GPS Receiver as vehicles navigator, security system,
geographic measurement, investigations or agriculture purpose. G66 Bluetooth GPS
Receiver operation requirement is a proper power supply and the open sky-view. This
Bluetooth GPS Receiver can communicate with other electronic devices by Bluetooth
interface. Built-In Flash Memory can save satellite information and do almanac refresh
periodically. This will shorten Time To First Fix (TTFF) effectively.

The Bluetooth GPS Receiver is designed as an ultra low power consumption device,
and high position accuracy. It will update the satellite position 5 pulse per second. This
Bluetooth GPS Receiver auto-locating feature is capable of automatically determining a
navigation solution without intervention. However, acquisition performance could be
interfered and do cold start if the receiver were initialized with occurrence of the following
events：

1) First in use

2) The GPS receiver is not in use for more than 3 months or transportation over

distances further than 500 kilometers.

3) Failure of the internal memory battery without system standby power.

4) To execute “Reset” function .

2. Features and Functions

1.) Superior Urban Canyon Performance

With 51 channel all-in-view tracking sensitivity –158dBm

2.) Act as WARM/HOT start with high capacity Li-ion battery

Back-up power circuit design will keep flash memory and RTC clocking always.
Shorten TTFF effectively

3.) Automatically almanac/ ephemeris update in flash memory

Programmable flash utility to do refresh on satellite orbit data information

4.) Smart power management solution.

GPS Device will automatically shutdown in case of Bluetooth connecting signal failure
detected and time over default setting value.

5.) Compatible with Bluetooth Serial Port Profile (SPP) completely.

6.) Easy to combine with the vehicle, voyage navigation, vehicle management, AVL,

personal navigation, tracking system and map applications.
