6. Getting Started
There are only a few simple steps that you need to follow before using your UD-731R:
Install the USB driver onto your laptop using the included CD-ROM .
Plug the GPS receiver into your laptop’s USB port.
NOTE: From within your mapping or navigation software (including the supplied GPS
Information utility), you will need to manually configure the COM port that was
assigned to the UD-731 GPS receiver so that proper communication between the
GPS receiver and a mapping program can occur. Most software requires that you
manually configure the COM port setting for any GPS device being used.
1. You must change the default baud rate setting of your mapping software‘s Baud
Rate to 4800, if this is not set then the GPS data cannot be received.
2. Set Baud Rate 4800, Data Bit: 8, Parity: None, Stop Bit: 1, Flow Control: None
6.1 LED Status
The LED flash status:
1. 1 second on/ 1 second off : GPS tracked
2. 1 second on/ 2 seconds off : while tracking

7. Software Installation
7.1 Overview
USB Driver is necessary software which allows you to operate UD-731R on your
computer properly once the device is connected with the computer. USB Drive r is different
depending on your operating system you connect to. Therefore, when you connect
UD-731R with your computer, you need to install an appropriate driver for the UD-731R
beforehand. Once you installed the driver properly, you do not need to install again from
the next time.
GPSView is multipurpose GPS utility. Please note that GPSView uses specific NMEA
sentences to display data graphically. For more information on NMEA, please see the
appendix 1.GPSView is a general purpose utility for monitoring the output of a GPS
receiver. Using the NMEA data from the GPS receiver, GPSView will display various
statuses for evaluating GPS which including latitude, longitude, altitude, speed, azimuth,
fix mode and TTFF time. And also can be used to upgrade UniTraQ flash version GPS
receiver.
7.2 Install USB Driver
You need to prepare a PC to install USB driver. The USB driver category depending on
your operating system and then please follow the procedure illustrated below to install
USB driver. Please note this procedure is only for windows XP.

Satellite signal problem
The following situations are normally if you find the GPS satellite signal is very low or
absolute missing:
There is something cover above.
While you are in a tunnel.
Inside of the building.
Near by buildings.
Put GPS receiver inside the car, some of the sun-control film with metal that
makes microwave can not be radiate.
