Q: My Bluetooth host device is asking me for a passkey. What is it?
A: It is "1234".
Q: I put the receiver in the charger yet it is not charging. How can I charge the receiver?
A: If the Bluetooth GPS receiver is sufficiently discharged, then placing it directly into the charger will not be adequate to begin charging the unit. First, power the GPS receiver directly for 5 minutes. Second, remove the power from the GPS receiver and apply power directly to the cradle. Insert the GPS receiver into the cradle, and the unit should begin charging normally.
Q: The TeleType software doesn't seem to be making any connections with my Bluetooth GPS receiver. How do I make it work?
A: You will need to make sure your PDA is paired with the Bluetooth device. Follow the instructions in the Connection section to make sure that your PDA is recognizing the Bluetooth GPS receiver properly. If so, you will need to connect with the device by going to the Bluetooth Manager and double-tapping on the TeleType icon.
Q: I am experiencing difficulties connecting with my Bluetooth GPS and/or locking in to satellites, what should I do?
A: Replace the rechargeable batteries with heavy-duty alkaline batteries.
Q: My Bluetooth receiver seems to be connecting to satellites (the green light is blinking), but I am unable to establish a connection between the receiver and my PDA. How can I make a connection?
A: Go to the Bluetooth Manager on your PDA. Locate the "TeleType: SPP Slave" icon and tap and hold. A pop-up menu will appear, select Delete.
Next, locate the Reset button on your Bluetooth GPS receiver and press it. Then perform a soft reset on your PDA.
Once your PDA has finished resetting itself, go back to the Bluetooth Manager screen and perform the typical setup and connection procedures for your Bluetooth receiver (for help with connection, please review the Connection section).
Once you have established a pairing, double-click on or tap the "TeleType: SPP Slave" icon to connect your PDA to your Bluetooth receiver.
Finally, run the TeleType GPS software. Go to Tools > GPS Status > Status, select COM 8 as your port, 4800bps, and tap Open Port. You should see symbols scrolling in the gray box below.
Q: When I have my Bluetooth GPS receiver plugged into the power adapter, I switch it on, and nothing happens. The lights do not blink. However, when I switch it off, the lights are blinking. What's happening?
In some receivers (not all), the "On" refers to whether or not you want to use the batteries as opposed to the charger. Thus, if you wish to use the charger for your Bluetooth receiver, make sure the switch is set to "Off".
