GPS Receiver
Trekker is currently shipped with the RoyalTek RBT-1000 ST GPS. However, the Bluetooth GPS technology is advancing rapidly and so are the GPS receivers. Please visit our website
at
www.humanware.ca
to consult an updated list of compatible GPS devices.
On the right side of the RoyalTek GPS you will find a Power Switch and a rubber cover. Slide the Power Switch back and forth to power On/Off. When you open the rubber cover with
your fingernail, you will find a Power Jack, and an External Receiver Port.
The LED Indicators are located on the face panel, underneath the
RoyalTek
label and described from left to right as follows:
The
Battery Status LED
(Roy):
Yellow - Red
A constant yellow light indicates that the GPS is connected to the power outlet and charging. A Blinking red light indicates the Battery level is low -
Charging immediately is required.
The
GPS Status LED
(al):
Green
A constant green light indicates that the GPS receiver is powered On but the GPS position is not fixed. A blinking Green light indicates the GPS position
is fixed.
The
Bluetooth Status LED
(Tek):
Blue
A Blinking Blue light indicates Bluetooth is in connection.
Make sure the battery is fully charged before using the Bluetooth GPS. When charging, connect the AC/DC adapter (with the Power Splitter) to the GPS
power jack, and plug into an electrical outlet. As the device is charging, the Battery Status LED will show a yellow light. It takes about 4 hours to fully
charge the battery. When the battery is fully charged, the Battery Status LED will turn Off. Unplug the device and remove the AC/DC adapter. For more

Infrared Keyboard
Maestro (or Trekker) supports two infrared keyboards, the Belkin and the Pocketop and gives you full access and control of your PDA. You can alternatively use the tactile keyboard or
the enabled external infrared keyboard without having to quit the active Maestro (or Trekker) application. For an updated list of supported external keyboards, visit our website at
www.humanware.ca
.
14.3.1
Software configuration
Maestro (or Trekker) includes the drivers for the Belkin and Pocketop infrared keyboards as well as the appropriate settings. Use the Keyboard dialog box from the Configuration Panel to
enable and configure your external keyboard. Do not use the CD included with your keyboard to install the factory driver.
The Belkin external keyboard is enabled by default.
14.3.2
Infrared (IR) Transmittal
Your infrared keyboard communicates with your PDA using Dual-beam infrared (IR) technology. This technology allows you to input data to your PDA without physically attaching it to the
Keyboard. To function properly, the two infrared ports need to face each other.
Infrared refers to light waves of a lower frequency than human eyes can receive and interpret. Infrared is used in most television remote control systems, and with a standard called irDA
(Infrared Data Association). It is used to communicate computers with peripheral devices. In most cases, infrared is used in a digital mode, the signal is pulsed On or Off very quickly to
send data from one point to another. The one-to-one nature of infrared communications is useful in that you can make sure a message only reaches the intended recipient, even in a
room full of infrared receivers.
14.3.3
Connect your Infrared external keyboard
On the HP iPAQ 4150, the Infrared (IR) port is located on the bottom edge of the PDA, to the left of the Charging/Communications Port. On the Dell Axim X50, the Infrared (IR) port is
located on the top edge of the PDA, above the SD slot.
To use Maestro (or Trekker) with your external keyboard, turn your PDA On and make sure that a Maestro (or Trekker) application is running. The keyboard should be positioned
approximately 4-6 inches from the Infrared port of the PDA. As communication is by line of sight, you may need to position the PDA slightly left of center of the keyboard. Your external
keyboard should connect automatically with your PDA. If it does not, be sure to align the IR ports properly. The Belkin keyboard is activated by default. The status of the external
keyboard is accessible on the
System Bar
of your PDA. To activate another external keyboard, refer to the Keyboard section for details. To get information on how to use your external
keyboard with Maestro (or Trekker), visit our website at:
