2.5 Auto Shut-Off Function 

 

By default, your BT-359 has a built-in timer that will automatically power down your 
BT-359 GPS receiver whenever it looses the Bluetooth paring connection to the host 
device for more than 10 minutes. This will help to keep you from returning to a dead 
GPS battery in the event you accidentally might have left the vehicle and forgot to 
turn off the GPS. 

 

Auto Shut-Off Override Switch   

This feature is not found on all models of the BT-359 and is usually not required by 
most users.    However, for those who may have applications that require an override 
to the Auto Shut-Off feature to keep the BT-359 powered at all times regardless of 
the Bluetooth paring status, then only these GPS models, the BT-359 can be used 
since they come equipped with the special override slide switch located under the 
battery. 
 
To disable the Auto Shut-Off feature, simple use a thin sharp object like a pin, or 
paper clip to gently slide the switch into the OFF position. The GPS will now remain 
ON indefinitely until the power switch is turned off, or until the battery is dead, so use 
caution when operating in this mode.

We strongly suggest that you first test your GPS with the included GPS Info utility 
program to confirm that the GPS receiver if functioning properly on your PC and that 
you have successfully configured the right COM Port setting.    Once this has been 
done, close the GPS Info program and start your application for COM port 
configuration. 
NOTE: By default, your PC will not allow you to run multiple applications from a 
single COM port.    It is important that you close any previously opened GPS 
application before switching to another GPS application as the GPS receiver and 
data will not be found by the new program.
