External GPS receiver
You do not need to attach any external device in order to use the integrated
GPS receiver. However, the operating system optionally supports the
use of an external GPS attachment. If you wish to attach an external
Bluetooth®-enabled device, pair the device via Bluetooth and proceed with
the conguration described above. In addition you need to congure the
following settings on the Hardware tab:
In Wireless Manager, Menu > GPS Setting > Hardware tab: •
Select the GPS hardware port number to be used by the external GPS receiver from the 1.
drop-down list.
Choose a Baud rate which is compatible with the external GPS receiver. In general, for 2.
best performance, pick the highest baud rate from the drop-down list that is supported
by the hardware. This is the speed at which the data is transferred between the devices.

GPS receiver as follows. However, if using an external GPS receiver, ensure
that the internal receiver remains off.
Tap Start > Programs > Wireless Manager.1.
