Blumax Bluetooth GPS-4044 Recorder
5. Helpful tips
It’s better to turn off the Blumax Bluetooth GPS-4044 Datalogger •
when you don’t use it, otherwise it might still keep recording data
if you leave it in the log state.
Some vehicles having heavy metallic sun protecting coating on •
windshields may affect GPS signal receptions.
Driving in and around high buildings may affect GPS signal re- •
ceptions.
Driving in tunnels or indoor park garage may affect signal recep- •
tions.
In general, any GPS receiver performs best in open space where •
it can see clear sky. Also weather will affect GPS reception – rain
& snow contribute to worse sensitivity.
Low battery of a PDA or of an Blumax Bluetooth GPS-4044 Da- •
talogger may affect signal receptions.
Please check the correct “COM” and “Baud Rate” of your PDA •
to secure the Bluetooth connection between Blumax Bluetooth
GPS-4044 Datalogger & PDA.
Blumax Bluetooth GPS-4044 Datalogger outputs data every sec- •
ond, therefore the actual position and the position shown in your
map may have slight time delay. This may happen when you
drive at higher speed or make a turn around a corner.
For the 1st time you use the Blumax Bluetooth GPS-4044 Data- •
logger, it will take 1 to 3 minutes to obtain the satellite constella-
tion information and fi x your position, this is called “Cold Start”. If
you replace the battery, Blumax Bluetooth GPS-4044 Datalogger
will do Cold Start again.
If your Blumax Bluetooth GPS-4044 Datalogger can’t fi x your •
position for more than 20 minutes, we suggest you change to
another spot with open space and then try again.
