Part 1 Product introduction

Overview

Light turns off when Blue tooth

connection is off

Blue light solid on when Blue tooth

connection initiates

Blue light blinks if Blue tooth

connection succeeds

Red color: GPS mode: Solid light shows location fixing

incomplete Blink light shows location fixing completed

Green color: Compass mode: Solid light shows North

direction (The slower LED blinks, the farther it tur ns from
North.)

Orange color: In calibrating mode

Red light blinks if battery power is

low

Red light solid on while charging
Green light solid on after fully

charged

Temporarily press this to turn on/off

Bluetooth

Press and hold this to turn power

on/off

Temporarily press to change mode

between GPS mode and Compass. While
in calibrating, temporary press on this
button makes system enter into Compass
mode if calibrating succeeds
( if calibration fails
mode.

Press and hold this to enter

auto-calibrating mode

) system will enter GPS

Part 2 Features

WBT-100 is the GSP receiver with internal antenna. iTrax 03 used in its core is high-tech
component and is integrated with electronic compass to the effect of providing more accurate
GPS data(this innovative concept is patent ed by Wintec) especially during navigation when
the vehicle is moving slowly.

It can also auto-log record of journey, which are useful in navigation, security tracking purpose,
map making and other agricultural needs. USB connector ensures easy linking with other
electronic devices.The GPS acquisition status, the last record of time and position can all be
stored in unfailing memory. It has 12 GPS channels and its low power-consumption can last
continuous 9 hours of operation. WBT-100 can boast of its smallest size ever with fullest
features in the world.

WBT-100 uses iTrax 03 GPS module (the 3rd generation) and the high-performance CPU

(ARM7TDMI CPU)

Maximum 12 channels can be acquisitioned quickly
Internal decode”WAAS/EGNOS” is used excluding the need for external hardware in

receiving WAAS/EGNOS signal

System supports NMEA0183 3.0 for data transfer
Internal electronic compass is used to get the compass/GPS inter-calibrating effect
Electronic compass can work independently to find north
With the integral support of electronic compass, NMEA data output can make navigation

more reliable

Data-logging acts like the in-flight black box and can record of position, date and time as

long as power source is maintained

For down-load of log-data and programming of WBT-100, provided software tool “G-tool”

can simplify usage

The system is upgradeable with new software which is provided free from us
It is designed to be water-proof
Data link thru blue tooth within 10 meter range
Versatile design aimed for car/personal navigation, fleet management, AVL, tracking and

mapping purpose

Part 4 Safety Notes

GPS (Global Positioning System) is provided by the United States government. Its

accuracy may varies depending on special conditions (area at war or if it is blocked). Any
control by USA will affect this system and its accuracy.

If installed on the transportation device, driver must not operate this while driving
GPS performance is effected when satellite coverage is degraded as near a high-rise

building, in the tunnel or under a cover

Personal replacement of components and re-structuring of this is prohibited and may

result in loss of legal usage

Operation of this device is strictly prohibited in highly explosive environment such

mining ,in-flight or other unauthorized area against use of this

Avoid exposing this at places of high temperature and humidity
Return to original dealer immediately if it emits strange smell or fume
