1 Bluetooth GPS Receiver

The TeleType Bluetooth GPS Receiver is a mobile GPS receiver integrated with Bluetooth technology.

With its ultra-low power consumption and long battery life, it is an excellent navigational and positioning

aid tool when used with TeleType GPS software installed on Bluetooth-enabled devices, such as your

PC, laptop, or PDA.

Although your receiver works best with TeleType GPS software, it is also fully

compatible with other GPS software running on various hardware platforms. The embedded high-

sensitivity GPS active antenna and Bluetooth antenna allow you to navigate freely without the hassle of

messy wire connections.

The Bluetooth GPS receiver offers many global positioning applications for both recreational and

professional users including:

·

Navigation and positioning

·

Finding streets and routes

·

Travel planning

·

Recreation

·

Safety and security

·

Fleet tracking and management

·

Logistics

·

Field-force management

·

Enterprise Location Services (ELS)

·

Location-Based Services (LBS)

·

Mobile Location Services (MLS)

Read this manual in order to begin using your TeleType Bluetooth GPS Receiver and to understand its

operations, functions, and common features.

You must first install the TeleType GPS software on your PC, laptop, PDA, or other handheld devices.

For more information about software installation, please refer to the latest version of the TeleType GPS

User Guide, which can be found online at

http://teletype.com/pages/support.html#documentation

.

The TeleType Bluetooth GPS Receiver offers high position accuracy and fast Time-To-First-Fix

(TTFF). These rely on environmental factors, such as where the receiver is located and the initial state

of the receiver. While attempting a position fix, the receiver needs to be locked-on to at least four

satellites. The TeleType Bluetooth GPS Receiver then uses the signals received from the satellites,

along with data from the receiver's digital memory about the last position fix, in order to compute the

current location of the device.

Environmental factors that influence position accuracy and initial GPS position fix are:

·

Tall buildings

·

Narrow street and passageway

·

Protection film on glass

·

Heavy foliage

·

Large cliffs

·

Other obstructions where the satellite signals may blocked

·

Poor satellite geometry situations

The initial state of the receiver refers to the last status of the receiver in memory. This mainly

determines the length of time it will take for your GPS receiver to obtain a position fix. Your position

can be quickly fixed within 10 seconds from a "hot-start" state, and typically 45 seconds from a "cold-

start" state. It takes at least 3 to 5 minutes to obtain a position fix from a completely restart-state, for

example, flying at a distance over 300 miles from the initial origin.

The TeleType Bluetooth GPS Receiver uses the satellite signals to calculate your exact location by

computing your distance from the satellites. The position data within the receiver is then converted into

latitude and longitude coordinates, which are usually provided in the geodetic datum on which the GPS

is based (WGS84). Using the wrong datum can result in position offsets for many miles.

In addition to incorrect datum, there are number of positioning errors that can occur which affect the

accuracy of your TeleType Bluetooth GPS Receiver. The major errors including satellite orbiting errors,

poor satellite geometry, multi-path signals, atmospheric delay, and receiver clock timing.

The TeleType Bluetooth GPS Receiver comes with three rechargeable Ni-MH batteries which supply

power for the unit.

In order to ensure proper maintenance of your GPS receiver, please follow these instructions carefully:

·

Use only the charger provided with your TeleType Bluetooth GPS Receiver. Using non-TeleType

chargers run the risk of damaging your GPS receiver, as well as causing your batteries to leak or

explode.

·

The TeleType Bluetooth GPS Receiver operates best under temperatures of 32°F—158°F

(0°C—70°C). Do not expose your TeleType Bluetooth GPS Receiver to temperatures higher than

158°F (70°C). Do not leave your Bluetooth GPS receiver in your car under direct sunlight while not

in use. Exposing it to high temperature environments can not only shorten the life of the product, but

can also damage the battery and cause a leak or explosion.

·

Do not take apart the TeleType Bluetooth GPS Receiver. Doing so will damage the product, and

void your warranty.
