the "Auto Detect Com Port" feature.

Follow the instructions in your mapping software to setup
the correct COM port.
Bluetooth GPS: Turn on your PDA’s Bluetooth function
and the BT-GPS device to discovery mode. Then discover
and pair the BT-GPS. Please refer to your PDA’s user
manual for more information on how to successfully
discover and pair a Bluetooth device or refer to Page 8 or
10.
