5. Application
5.1. For a Notebook with Bluetooth
1. Turn the BT-399 on.
2. Please refer to the Notebook’s user’s guide for instructions to activate
Bluetooth for connection to the BT-399. As these are always a little bit
different. Usually you proceed as follows:
3. Enter the Bluetooth-Manager and search for devices in the Bluetooth
surroundings.
4. As soon as the Bluetooth GPS-receiver is found, connect it to your PC /
Notebook.
5. Depending on the Bluetooth-Software you have to choose the Com-port
before pairing the device.
6. Choose the Com-Port between Com3 to Com10, since some old software
solutions often do not see a Com-Port over 10.
7. If your Bluetooth-Software chooses the Com-Port automatically, please follow
the instructions step by step to nish.
8. Make sure which Com-port was chosen, by showing the features of the
linked Bluetooth device.
9. Some Bluetooth-Applications or- programs require an access code for linking
the device. In case this request appears, the access code is: 0000
10. Exit the Bluetooth-Manager.
11. Launch the suitable software for mapping/navigation, and select the correct
COM Port and set the baud rate between 4800 and 115200.
-5-
5.2. For PDA/SmartPhone with built-in Bluetooth
1. Turn the BT-399 on.
2. Go to Bluetooth-settings and search for devices in the Bluetooth
environment.
3. Choose the GPS receiver as to be paired device.
4. Some Bluetooth-Applications or- programs require an access code for linking
the device. In case this request appears, the access code is: 0000
5. Exit the Bluetooth-Manager.
6. Launch the suitable software for mapping/navigation, and select the correct
COM Port and set the baud rate between 4800 and 115200.
1. Perform a softreset on your device if you have any errors or
congurationproblems. It can be performed before or after pairing, in order to
exclude blocked ComPorts or applications.
2. If your BT-399 interlinked correctly and your Mapping- and
Navigationssoftware does not receive any data, please perform the following
steps. Go to: Start--> Settings-->Connection-->Transfer/Data reception.
Check if there is a tick for automatic receiving. If yes, please take out the tick,
leave this window with OK and the following windows with „X“, until you get
back to the Desktop. After that run a softreset. Go to the Bluetooth-Manager,
delete the interlinked GPS mouse and set a new connection.
3. For devices based on Windows Mobile please note that an output connection
for the GPS-receiver is already placed. If this is not the case, please provide
a new output connection for BT-399 in the Bluetooth manager in the tab „
Com connections“. All free Com Ports are being offered.
4. When interlinking the device a question about a safe connection may occur.
Take out the tick for safe connection.
5.3. General note for pairing !!!
As soon as the receiver is connected to the PDA or SmartPhone, the blue LED
will light up and hence stops blinking. Once a navigation software application, or
a test software application, has access to the COM Port and data starts owing,
the LED will be turn off after roughly one minute.
6. Functiontest with GPS Info
1. Install the GPS Info software on your device. Choose the respective version
for your system. On the CD you can nd versions for Windows 98SE, Me,
-6-
W2K, XP, Windows Vista and WM5 – also usable for WM6.
2. GPS Info is only a Testprogram and cannot be used for navigation or
orientation. After testing it has to be closed! Please make sure on a Pocket
PC that it is really closed and not still active in the background. It blocks the
Com-Port and doesn´t give access to a navigation- or routing software on
the Com-Port.
3. The PC version differs basicly only in its appearance from the Pocket PC
version. The amount of function remains the same.

Should you see the NMEA protocol in the GPS Info but you cannot nd a receiver
in your application software, then it is not a mistake of the receiver but of the
setting in the software. The support of the software producer may help you.
Risk of explosion when exposed to re !
Don’t expose the receiver to permanent temperature above 60°C/140° F!
7. Possible Sources of Malfunction and Troubleshooting
7.1 The device cannot be switched on. Check if the battery is fully charged. Plug
the charger to BT-399 and into the socket. If the LED lights up in red. Wait
for 10min. unplug the receiver and switch it on. If you can see some function
as the green LED ashes, the battery was not fully charged. Switch on the
BT-399 again and charge it completely until the red LED turns off.
7.2 The battery was charged and the BT-399 can still not be switched on. Please
contact the Navilock Support.
7.3 Your PC does not support the Autostart function and does not start the CD
ROM automatically. Please read http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/
Aa969329.aspx
7.4. Your BT-399 cant nd a FIX or takes too much time for it.
The GPS reception is a reception requiring a free view to the sky. But today
´s high sensitive chipsets enable a reception, even without enough view to
-8-
the sky. That is only possible if there are enough good signals of satellites
available. Even with a bright blue sky the signals of the satellites can be so
distorted because of electro-magnetic disturbance so that it cannot be used
as Signals for the receiver. This is not due to the receiver but due to the
physical basic law of the electro-magnetic radiation. Switch off the BT-399
and try later again. Try to nd a location which is not near to a house wall.
There can be also reections which can disturb the reception.
7.5. If you use the BT-399 for the rst time, the rst Satx can take up to 30min.
The same can happen when you use the receiver on another continent.
7.6. The BT-399 got wet. Do not connect the receiver to the charger. Thus it will
be definitely and not reparable destroyed. Please send the receiver with
statement „Water damage“ to our support. The Support will open and dry it
and test the function again.
7.7. You used the BT-399 with a wrong charger. In this case only the Navilock
Repair Center as well can identify the damage and give a cost estimate.
Please send the device franked and state as error description „KVA – falsche
Stromversorgung“.
The Navilock Repair Center aims to be as fair as possible. So we kindly ask you
to give a true error description. The error analysis helps to nd out if there was a
water damage, interference by a third party, a fall, overvoltage or wrong handling.
Often malfunctions are caused by minor errors. It is not always necessary to
immediately replace a product, because this will not correct a malfunction that is
not caused by the GPS hardware.
Before contacting your dealer, please contact Navilock support. This will
provide you with help in a fast and easy manner, and help avoid unnecessary
replacement.
In such cases, describe the malfunction as accurately as possible in writing, add
the details for your device and the software you are using as well as operating
surrounding (Operating system, Servicepack version, CPU size and type,
memorysize, type of HDD and interface, etc. and send an email to support@
navilock.de.

WEEE-notice
The WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment)-directive, which became
effective as European law on February 13th 2003, resulted in an all out change
in the disposal of disused electro devices. The primarily purpose of this directive
is the avoidance of electrical waste (WEEE) and at the same time the support of
recycling and other forms of recycling in order to reduce waste. The WEEE-logo
on the device and the package indicates that the device should not be disposed
in the normal household garbage. You are responsible for taking the disused
electrical and electronical devices to a respective collecting point. A separated
collection and reasonable recycling of your electrical waste helps handling the
natural resources more economical. Furthermore recycling of electrical waste is
a contribution to keep the environment and thus also the health of men. Further
information about disposal of electrical and electronical waste, recycling and
the collection points are available in local organizations, waste management
enterprises, in specialized trade and the producer of the device.
