The IOGEAR Bluetooth GPS system is a real-time navigation system. The Bluetooth GPS
receiver allows you to receive positioning data from satellites and connect to mobile computing
devices via Bluetooth, without cables. It provides high position accuracy and reliable tracking
capabilities. The ultra low-power design and long-life rechargeable battery gives you 25 hours of
continuous usage and eliminates constant recharging between uses. It is portable and
lightweight, so you can put it on the dashboard or any other location that provides a direct line of
sight to the sky.
You will never get lost again!

1. Power Switch
To turn the IOGEAR GPS unit ON/OFF, slide the switch
towards the desired position as indicated below.
ON – Slide switch to the right position to turn on
OFF – Slide switch to the left position to turn it off
2. Power Jack
Before you can use the IOGEAR GPS unit, you need to
charge it for approximately 3 hours to fully charge. In the
box, you should have received both an AC-DC charger, and
car charger
• AC Charger – Can be connected to any power outlet
found in your home.
• DC Charger – For vehicle use; connects to the
cigarette lighter port.
To charge the built-in battery, simply connect one of the
included chargers to the power jack on your GPS unit.
3. Reset Switch
The main function of the reset switch is to perform a Cold Start of
the GPS unit. Essentially, a cold start wipes off all the data - such
as satellite IDs, position information, etc. - stored in the GPS
memory. After the GPS unit is “cold-started” it will obtain all
required information from scratch.
Instances when you would need to do a cold start of the GPS unit
include:
GPS cannot establish communication with the satellites even
after long periods of waiting
You have moved to another location (such as to a different
state/country) with the GPS unit OFF and now it cannot
establish its position
Cold-Start Procedure
1. Turn the GPS ON
2. Press and hold the reset button for 5 seconds
3. Release reset button
After performing a cold-start, the GPS unit should take about 5
minutes to establish its position, since it needs to gather all GPS
data from scratch. However, depending on your location/
environment, this process may take up to 15 minutes.

4. GPS Status LED (Green)
• Blinking - GPS receiver is attempting to establish position.
• Steady light - indicates the GPS position is established..
5. Bluetooth Status LED (Blue)
• Slow Blinking (every four seconds) – GPS receiver is ready to
accept Bluetooth connections, but is not yet connected to any
Bluetooth device.
• Fast Blinking (every second) – GPS receiver has established
communication with another Bluetooth device.
6. Power Status LED (Yellow/Orange/Red)
• No light – If the unit is ON, it indicates the receiver is operating
on battery power and has sufficient charge
• Steady yellow light - Battery is charging and GPS is ON
• Steady orange light – Battery is charging and GPS is OFF
• Blinking red light - indicates a battery fault. This can occur if
the GPS unit is exposed to extreme temperature conditions.
In this case, place the GPS in a location that allows it to return
to a normal operating temperature.
• Steady red light – indicates system fault. This occurs when
internal electrical damage or system malfunction is detected.
7. External Antenna Jack
The external antenna jack allows you to connect an external
antenna in cases when it’s not possible for the GPS unit to have a
direct view to the sky. This may be the case if your vehicle does
not have an area where you can easily mount your GPS unit.
Another instance is if your vehicle’s surrounding causes
interference with the GPS wireless signals. With the external
antenna, you can place the GPS unit anywhere on your vehicle and
mount the antenna on the roof.

Safety
Carefully read all instructions before using the IOGEAR
GPS unit and set-up all your equipment in the car before
driving. DO NOT attempt to follow any of the instructions
provided here while you drive as this may present danger
not only to yourself but to others on the road as well.
When using this unit, make sure to obey all traffic laws and
regulations. Always use good judgment and safety
precautions.
Extreme Temperatures
The Lithium-Ion battery inside the GPS unit is sensitive to
extreme temperatures. Do not leave the receiver in a
location where temperatures are higher than 60° C (140°
F). In case of extreme temperatures, please allow the GPS
to warm or cool before normal operation.
Obstruction and Interference
The first time you power on your GPS unit, it may take up to 15
minutes to establish its position. The actual amount of time it takes
to establish its position, may increase or decrease, depending on
many environmental factors.
Among the factors that could cause interference are:
Tall buildings
Enclosed or Indoor areas
Metal or other type of objects that interfere with wireless
signals
For best results, have the GPS unit in a place where it has a clear
view to the sky and away from large/tall structures.
Operation

HARDWARE
Step 1: Charging Battery
Before you can use the GPS receiver, you need to fully charge
the internal battery. Plug one of the included chargers into the
GPS power Jack and then to your power source. The GPS
receiver needs to be charged for approximately 3 hours for a full
charge. A fully charged unit will give you about 25 hours of
continuous operation.
Step 2: Establish GPS Position .
3. Establish GPS Position
The green GPS LED will glow continuously while the
GPS position is being established, which may take
up to 15 minutes the first time the unit is turned on.
Once the GPS has established position, the GPS
LED will remain steady. If the GPS receiver does
not establish position after about 15 minutes, try
placing/moving the unit to a different where it has a
clear view of the sky.
Once you have established GPS position (green
LED is steady), proceed to next step below.
4. Bluetooth Connectivity
The blue LED will blink approximately every four
seconds to let you know the Bluetooth radio is
active and ready to accept a Bluetooth connection.
Please follow the steps below to establish Bluetooth
communication between your GPS and Bluetooth
PDA/Laptop.
Slide the power switch of the GPS towards the ON position.
Your receiver will automatically begin accepting
GPS and Bluetooth signals when the power is turned on.
