1. Introduction
1.1. Overview
The Leadtek 9537 Wireless GPS receiver is a Global Positioning System Receiver with
Bluetooth wireless technology. This wireless GPS receiver allows you to receive GPS data on
mobile handheld wirelessly. By sending GPS position data over Bluetooth, you can position the
receiver for the best possible reception all without wires. The advent of wireless GPS receiver will
become the next level of GPS receivers.
The Leadtek Wireless GPS receiver integrates Bluetooth module into GPS device. It shows
the high performance, low power consumption, easily portable, rechargeable & removable battery
function and wireless data transmission. If you have a Pocket PC or other portable devices enabled
with Bluetooth function, for example iPAQ 3870/3970 and SONY Ericsson T68 mobile phone, you
can take advantage of your device’s Bluetooth capability to wirelessly add GPS positioning
technology. When you choose suitable navigation software, you can apply to personal, vehicle

3. Operation
3.1. Hardware Description
The Bluetooth GPS has two LED light which each has two colors. One is GPS & Charge
status LED, that is named LED 2, and the other is Bluetooth & low power status LED, that is named
LED 1. The status table of LED shows as follows:
<State Table of LED>
LED1
BT & Low Power LED Description
LED1 Color and Action Bluetooth Active Low Power
Blue Flash Yes No
Purple–Red Flash Yes Yes

LED2
GPS & Charge LED Description
LED2 Color and Action Battery Charged Position Fixed
Dark No No
Green Flash No Yes
Red Yes No
Orange-Red Flash Yes Yes
<Note1>When the Bluetooth is active and LED 1 lights, it shows Bluetooth RF function. As long as
the Bluetooth RF is transmitting the LED light will flash. When Bluetooth doesn’t connect the other
Bluetooth device, the LED 1 will be flash periodically. Therefore, it means that it broadcasts message
to connect the other device with Bluetooth function. If it connects the other Bluetooth device and
transmits data, LED 1 will flash very quickly and look like bright.
<Note 2>When the battery is charging, LED 1 will show purple-red color and flash. The reason that
Bluetooth is working cause LED 1 purple-red color. If the GPS receiver go to the end of charge, LED
1 will show blue color and flash.
3.2. Turn on/off
Turn on To turn on the receiver, press the power button on the topside briefly (0.5
seconds). The left LED(LED 2) indicator will flash briefly. The right LED
(LED 1) indicator will start flashing.
Turn off To turn off the receiver, press the power button on the topside for 3 seconds.
The LED indicator will flash briefly before switching off the receiver.
3.3. Charging
Low Power The right LED(LED 1) indicator will turn RED (normally BLUE) when battery
power becomes low. Connect the receiver to a powers source to continue
operation and to recharge the battery.
Charging The left LED(LED 2) indicator will turn RED (or ORANGE) when the battery
is being charged. When fully charged, the RED indicator will switch off.
3.4. Bluetooth Communication
Waiting to connect The right LED(LED 1) indicator will flash if there is no communication
between the receiver and another device.
Connected The right LED(LED 1) indicator will turn to continuous lighting when the
receiver is connected through the wireless link with another device.

3.5. GPS
Navigating The left LED(LED 2) will flash GREEN (or ORANGE when charging) if the
receiver is able to determine the current position.
3.6. PIN CODE
The PIN code means Personal Identification Number for Bluetooth device and it is also
called as Pass Key. The Bluetooth GPS receiver has the default PIN Code, and is “0000”. Generally
speaking, there are two steps in Bluetooth connecting. One is pairing process, the other is link process.
If you need PIN code to pairing and connect, you can use the default pin code, “0000” to connect
Bluetooth device. Our GPS receiver belongs to non-safety connecting, you can use in general
application to finish connecting.
4. Notices
4.1. Global Positioning System
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated and maintained by the Government of
the United States of America who are responsible for the availability and the accuracy of the system.
Changes in the operation, availability and accuracy may affect the operation of your GPS receiver.
4.2. Aircraft and Hospitals
Use of devices with an antenna is prohibited on most aircraft and in many hospitals. The
TomTom Wireless GPS receiver is a receiving and transmitting device with two antenna’s and should
not be used in these environments.
4.3. Heat Reflective Shields
Modern vehicles may have a heat reflective shield in the windshield, preventing proper
GPS signal reception if the receiver is placed under the windshield. To get proper reception:
(a) Use an external antenna, or
(b) Place the receiver in a different position, or
(c) Attach the cradle to the windshield behind the rearview mirror, where many vehicles have an
opening in the heat reflective shield, indicated by a black outline.

5.5 Battery
This product uses a Lithium-Ion battery. Please charge fully before first use. Operation in low (below 0º
C/32ºF or high (over 40ºC/110ºF) temperatures will affect power supply efficiency and the ability to
charge the battery. All Lithium-Ion batteries will experience power supply efficiency deterioration over
time even if not used and have a limited life expectancy. Permanently powering the battery will reduce
life expectancy. Do not use your product in a humid, wet and/or corrosive environment. Do not put,
store or leave your product in or near a heat source or in a high temperature location and do not expose
it to temperature over 60ºC(140ºF). Failure to follow these guidelines may cause the Lithium-Ion
battery to become hot, explode or ignite and cause injury and/or damage. THE LITHIUM-ION
BATTERY CONTAINED IN THE PRODUCT MUST BE RECYCLED OR DISPOSED OF
PROPERLY. USE ONLY WITH SUPPLIED CHARGER(s) AND SUPPLIED AC ADAPTOR FOR
BATTERY CHARGING.
