1. Introduction

1.1. Overview

The Leadtek 9537 Wireless GPS receiver is a Global Position 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
functi on, 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 tracking, and marine navigation.

If you use this wireless GPS receiver, you will ignore the messy cords and antenna and add the
portability of your Pocket PC. In addition , This wireless GPS receiver can change the exhausted battery to
full battery like battery of mobile phone.

4. Operation

4.1. Hardware Description

- - 4

.

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
Orange 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.
