1.1 Overview

Introduction HI-406BT-C is a GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver in wireless Bluetooth interface with buildin active antenna and extra digital compass functions. With HI-406BT-C, your mobile devices, such as, Smartphone, PocketPC, laptopPC, tabletPC, etc. can receive GPS data wirelessly and perform the GPS applications, such as, car navigation, personal navigation, route planning, tracking, etc. Equipped with the most powerful and ultra high sensitive SiRF StarIII chip set, HI-406BT-C can get the 3D fix in very short time and under poor reception environment, such as in the middle of the car, next to the tall building, in your backpack, or pocket.

1.2 Main Features:

20 Channels "All- In-View" Tracking P osition accuracy of 10 meters 2D RMS Cold/W arm/Hot Start Time: 42/38/1 Seconds (Signal Strength > 30 dB-HZ) R eacquisition Time: 0.1 seconds Support Standard NMEA -0183 at 38400 bps baud rate (Defined by customer 4800 up to 57600) Support P ower Saving Mode Compatible with Bluetooth devices with Serial Port Profile (SPP) Build-in digital compass with 12 LED indications Superior Sensitivit y for Urban Canyon and Foliage Environment Ultr a s mall, sleek, and lightweight design easily fits in your hand Li-polymer battery lasts for more than 8 hours of use in connection
2.1 Setting up: Bluetooth GPS receiver STEP 1: Open the battery cap and put the battery (406-BTT) into the battery compartment.

Push down and pull out

STEP 2 Connect the inclusive AC charger to home electronics outlet or connect the inclusive DC charger to the car cigarette lighter. As soon as they connected, the solid amber light on the right side in front of HI-406BT-C will turned on (stay on) meaning the battery charging. AC charger to home electronic outlet DC charger to car cigarette lighter (DC 12V~24V)
Mini-1394 MMCX external autenna plug female connector for power in and GPS signal out
STEP 3 As soon as the battery fully charged, the amber light will turned off, then, up-plug the charger.
Indicator for power charging and GPS status
Indicator for battery low (Red) and Bluetooth status (Blue
STEP 4 There is one of each switch on both side of HI-406BTC. The switch on the right side is for Bluetooth GPS receiver. The switch on the left side is for digital compass. As soon as turn on the switch on the right side, the GPS receiver will start to function and search the satellites. Meanwhile, the LED indicator on the right side in front of HI-406BT-C will turned green (stay on - the GPS receiver not get 3D fixed yet) Please make sure place the HI-406BT-C outdoor open space so that it can get the proper satellite signal. After HI-405BT-C gets enough satellite data (lock more than 4 satellites), HI-406BT-C is in 3D fixed and the green light start blinking.

STEP 5: As soon as turn on the switch on the right side, the Bluetooth will also start to function and searching. The blue light on the left side in front of HI-406BT-C will turned on (Blinking) meaning the Bluetooth is searching the host device and not get paired yet. Please consult the Bluetooth step by step connection guide from this manual on section. The pin code is " 0000 " when asked the pin code. After the Bluetooth paired and connected, the blue light will stay on.
STEP 6: Open the mapping software from your mobile device, select the corresponding COM port and start GPS.

STEP 7: Enjoy the state of the art wireless GPS navigation.

2.2 Setting up:

Digital Compass As soon as turn on the switch on the left side, the digital compass will start to function and indicating the north (LED on red) and the south (LED on green) based on the earth magnetic field. Since the HI-406BT-C equipped with 2-axiel digital compass chip, please make sure place the HI-406BT-C on horizontal surfaced and no grater than 30 degree angle. The digital compass or the Bluetooth GPS receiver can work independently or work simultaneously. Even the Bluetooth GPS receiver switch turned off, the compass can work and the HI-406BT-C become a pure digital compass.
