Unplug the USB power cable from the GPS repeater’s USB connector
(shown on the right side of the figure above). If necessary, unscrew the
GPS antenna connector from the repeater (left side, lower). You may leave
the radio antenna attached. Attach one end of the USB cable to your
computer and while pressing and holding the button (top side, toward left)
on the repeater, plug the other end of the USB cable into the mini-USB
connector on the repeater.
At this point, no LEDs should be lit on the GPS repeater. If any LEDs are
lit, it indicates that the repeater is not in updating mode. Disconnect the
USB cable from the repeater, ensure that the button is pressed firmly, and
repeat the operation.
Once the GPS repeater powers up in updating mode, your computer may
or may not display a "Found new hardware" (or similar) message. The
computer should automatically install any necessary driver software. If
you are prompted to provide driver software, allow the computer to search
the appropriate places for it. For example, Windows Update when using a
Windows computer.
Note: The GPS repeater (when in updating mode) acts as a standard
USB Mass Storage device and no unusual drivers are needed. The
same drivers that handle (for example) USB flash drives will work
with the GPS repeater.
If the GPS repeater does not illuminate any LEDs but the computer does
not detect it, you may have a bad USB cable or perhaps the USB port
you are using on the computer has been disabled. Some systems allow
disabling groups of USB ports (although this is normally only done in
