Introduction 1. Introduction With the Nokia Bluetooth GPS Module you can determine your current position and direction easily. The GPS module uses Bluetooth wireless technology to communicate positioning information to a compatible device, such as a mobile phone or PC. To use the GPS module, you need a compatible software application on the device that you connect to it. Read this user guide carefully before using the GPS module. Also read the user guide for the device that you connect to the module.
Introduction If the device has been exposed to sweat or salt water, wipe it immediately with freshwater to avoid corrosion. The device must be carefully wiped dry. ■ Bluetooth wireless technology Bluetooth wireless technology allows you to connect compatible devices without cables. The GPS module and a compatible device do not need to be in line of sight, but they should be within 10 meters (33 feet) of each other.
Introduction ■ About the GPS The GPS (Global Positioning System) is a worldwide satellite-based radio navigation system. The GPS module can calculate its location to an accuracy of 10 meters (33 feet). The accuracy depends on the number of GPS satellites to which the GPS module is in a line of sight. In optimal conditions, the accuracy may be within a few meters. If you stand still, GPS cannot detect which way you are facing because it determines your direction as you move.
Introduction by adjustments to GPS satellites made by the United States government and is subject to change with the United States Department of Defense civil GPS policy and the Federal Radionavigation Plan. Accuracy can also be affected by poor satellite geometry. Availability and quality of GPS signals may be affected by your location, buildings, natural obstacles, and weather conditions. The GPS module should only be used outdoors to allow reception of GPS signals.
Get started 2. Get started Before you can start to use the GPS module, you must do the following: • Install a compatible GPS application on the device that you connect to the GPS module. • Charge the battery of the GPS module fully. • Pair the compatible device with the GPS module. Some Nokia devices, such as the Nokia 9500 Communicator, have a location privacy setting. To provide GPS location data to applications in such a device, you must set the device to accept requests for location information.
Get started ■ Parts The GPS module contains the following parts: power key (1), GPS indicator light (2), Bluetooth indicator light (3), battery charge indicator light (4), and charger connector with a cover (5). 1 2 3 4 GP S S GP 5 ■ Chargers Check the model number of any charger before using it with this GPS module. The GPS module is intended for use with the AC-3, AC-4, AC-5, and DC-4 chargers. Warning: Use only chargers approved by Nokia for use with this particular enhancement.
Get started When you disconnect the power cord of any enhancement, grasp and pull the plug, not the cord. ■ Charge the battery The GPS module has an internal, nonremovable, rechargeable battery. Do not attempt to remove the battery from the GPS module, as you may damage it. 1. Connect the charger to a wall outlet. 2. Open the cover of the charger connector, and connect the charger cable to the connector. The GPS module switches on.
Get started Charging the battery for 15 minutes provides about 6 hours of operating time with the AC-4, AC-5, and DC-4 chargers. Charging the battery fully may take up to 1 hour. 3. When the battery is fully charged, the indicator light turns green. Disconnect the charger from the GPS module and the wall outlet. The fully charged battery has power for up to 11 hours of operating time.
Basic use 3. Basic use ■ Switch on To switch on, press and hold the power key for one second until the battery indicator light starts to flash green. It takes some time for the module to position itself, depending on how long it has been switched off and how well it can receive the satellite signals. In optimal conditions, the start-up takes about one minute. When the module is receiving satellite signals, the GPS indicator light flashes white.
Basic use ■ Switch off To switch off, press and hold the power key until the battery indicator light flashes red briefly. If the GPS module is not connected to a charger or a paired device within about 1 hour, it switches off automatically. ■ Pair with another device Before you can use the GPS module, you must pair it with a compatible device. With some GPS applications, you can pair and connect the GPS module within the application without using the Bluetooth menu of your device.
Basic use 1. Ensure that the GPS module and your compatible device are switched on. 2. Activate the Bluetooth feature on the device, and set it to search for Bluetooth devices. 3. Select the GPS module (Nokia LD-4W) from the list of found devices. 4. Enter the passcode 0000 to pair and connect the GPS module to your device. In some devices you may need to make the connection separately after pairing. You only need to pair the GPS module with your device once. 5. Start using the GPS application.
Basic use ■ Support for WAAS/EGNOS The GPS module supports the WAAS/EGNOS system. To use the system, your GPS application needs to support it as well. For details, see the user guide for your GPS application. ■ Suction cup and belt clip The GPS module is supplied with a suction cup and a belt clip. To attach the suction cup or belt clip, plug it to the opening on the module.
Basic use To use the suction cup, press it firmly on a flat surface to create a vacuum between the cup and surface. Check that the cup is firmly attached. To detach the cup from the surface, pull the strap located on the edge of the suction cup. To detach the suction cup or belt clip from the GPS module, push the cup or clip through the opening with your thumb, and carefully pull it from the module. ■ Key ring S GP The GPS module is supplied with a key ring.
Basic use To reset the GPS module if it stops functioning, although it is charged, press and hold the power key and, at the same time, plug the GPS module into a charger.
Battery information 4. Battery information Your device is powered by a rechargeable battery. The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times, but it will eventually wear out. Recharge your battery only with Nokia approved chargers designated for this device. Unplug the charger from the electrical plug and the device when not in use. Do not leave a fully charged battery connected to a charger, since overcharging may shorten its lifetime.
Battery information Do not dispose of batteries in a fire as they may explode. Batteries may also explode if damaged.
Care and maintenance Care and maintenance Your device is a product of superior design and craftsmanship and should be treated with care. The following suggestions will help you protect your warranty coverage. • Do not use or store the device in dusty, dirty areas. Its moving parts and electronic components can be damaged. • Do not store the device in hot areas. High temperatures can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries, and warp or melt certain plastics.
Care and maintenance • Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the device. • Do not paint the device. Paint can clog the moving parts and prevent proper operation. All of the above suggestions apply equally to your device, battery, charger, or any enhancement. If any device is not working properly, take it to the nearest authorized service facility for service.
