the connection between your device and 747Pro is successful, the blue LED of 747Pro will be
blinking.
Below, we provide a common procedure of software installation to set up your PDA. (For
other PDA/Smartphone, the steps may be different. Bluetooth Manager is a popular program
used on Bluetooth device.)

2.3 Helpful Tips
- It’s better to turn off the 747Pro when you don’t use it, or the serial Flash's life can’t last
long.
- Some vehicles having heavy metallic sun protecting coating on windshields may affect
GPS signal receptions
- Driving in and around high buildings may affect GPS signal receptions.
- Driving in tunnels or indoor park may affect signal receptions.
- In general, any GPS receiver performs best in open space where it can see clean sky. Also
weather will affect GPS reception – rain & snow contribute to worse sensitivity.
- Low battery of a PDA/Smartphone or of an 747Pro may affect signal receptions.
- Please check the correct “COM” and “Baudrate” of your PDA.
- 747Pro output data updates every second, therefore the actual position and the position
shown in your map may have slight time delay. This may happen when you drive at
higher speed or make a turn around a corner.
- Note that 747Pro may not work indoors where it can not see the sky.
- For the 1st time you use the 747Pro, it will take 1 to 3 minutes to obtain the satellite
constellation information and fix your position, this is called “Cold Start”. If you replace
the battery, 747Pro will do Cold Start again.
- If your 747Pro can’t fix your position for more than 20 minutes, we suggest you change
to another spot with open space and then try again.
