Overview (Fig.1) The HOLUX M-1000C Bluetooth GPS Receiver (Fig. 1) is a total solution GPS receiver with Bluetooth, USB interface and built-in rechargeable battery for high sensitivity to tracking signal. M-1000C design is based on Media Tek Inc.(MTK) GPS solution-MT3329 low power Architecture. M-1000C is a dual-function GPS receiver. Not only transmit satellite information through the PDA or Notebook by Bluetooth interfaces but also is a G-Mouse GPS receiver through a HOLUX designed data cable (Optional cable, see chapter 6 ) to deliver satellite signal to the device without Bluetooth interface. M-1000C meets the requirement of field application, such as car navigation, mapping, agriculture surveying and security use under clear view of sky. M-1000C contacts to other device through Bluetooth interface, and built-in rechargeable Li-ion battery to save satellite information such as the status of satellite signal, the previous available location, date and time. With the advanced technology, M-1000C can search up to 66 satellites simultaneously, re-acquires satellite signals in 0.1 microsecond and updates position data per second.

Bluetooth device connection installation The following is the steps of software installation to setup on PDA, DELL AXIM x51v with Bluetooth Manager. For other PDA or laptop device, the steps might vary. 1. In Pocket PC setting����system panel, enable “manage GPS automatically”. Note: The setting may vary in other PocketPC or Smartphone , please check the manual or consult the technical service respectively. 2. Tap the Bluetooth icon to start “Bluetooth Manager” on PocketPC to enable Bluetooth function. 3. In “Devices” panel , tap “New partnership” to search Bluetooth devices nearby. If the result is not found, tap “Refresh” to research again. 4. Choose the Bluetooth device “HOLUX_M-1000C” and tap “Next” 5. Connect to “Serial port” or “SPP Slave”, then tap “Finish” → HOLUX M-1000C Bluetooth GPS Receiver Manual 12 6. Go to the “COM ports” panel to tap “New Outgoing Port”, choose “HOLUX_M-1000C” device and tap “Next”. 7. Select the COM port, then tap finish, it will show as right figure, and tap “OK” to finish the Bluetooth setting. Recommend not to use “Secure Connection” which may cause unstable connection. 8. Then you can enable your navigation map program to enjoy GPS function now. 5.3. Installation of Mini GPS Viewer program We provide a program “Mini GPS viewer.exe” for end user to watch the satellite signal receiving status on laptop or PDA device. For Windows 2000/XP OS, you can execute “Mini GPS viewer_PC” directly. For Microsoft Pocket PC, please copy “Mini GPS viewer_PPC” to SD card or device, then execute “Mini GPS viewer_PPC”. 5.4. Execute the Mini GPS Viewer program 1) The following window is shown after executing Mini GPS Viewer_PPC,( see Fig. 5). The Windows 2000/XP version is just different on display. (Fig. 5) 2) Setup the Baud rate: 38400, then tap “Scan” button to scan your COM Port. Select your COM Port respectively, then tap “Open GPS” button. Check log → HOLUX M-1000C Bluetooth GPS Receiver Manual 13 screen below if the satellite data is receiving correctly. (Fig. 6) 3) Select “GPS Status” panel to observe the GPS information status, see Fig. 7. (Fig. 7) 4) In “setup” panel you can see “Hot Start”、“Warm Start”、“Cold Start”、which allow you to re-acquisition of Ephemeris and Almanac. Basically the satellites are always moving in the sky, if Ephemeris and Almanac data in GPS receiver can’t meet real satellites status upon you if GPS receiver is over 0.5 hour power off but you are no longer in the previous position , it takes more time for the GPS receiver to get GPS position fix soon. We suggest you can click “Cold Start” or “Warm start” to re-acquisition. Or you can remove the battery for 3 seconds and reinsert it, this operation is the same with “Cold Start”.
