In order for Bluetooth device to communicate, a correct

COM port number must be assigned.

number automatically. If it fails to assign one, try to use

the "Auto Detect Com Port" feature.


2a. PDA Setup

GPS-CF/GPS-CF3: Insert the card into the PDA’s CF slot.
Follow the instructions in your mapping software to setup

the correct COM port.

Bluetooth GPS: Turn on your PDA’s Bluetooth function
and the BT-GPS device to discovery mode. Then discover

and pair the BT-GPS. Please refer to your PDA’s user
manual for more information on how to successfully

discover and pair a Bluetooth device or refer to Page 8 or
10.

This section is divided into 2 main Scenarios, PDA with

Bluetooth enabled Pocket PC running on Windows CE 4.x

or earlier operating system. For Pocket PC running on
