4. Ensure that the Baud rate drop-down list is set to 57600.

5. Tap ok to close the Setting window.

Operation

Acquiring satellite signals may take several seconds to a few minutes. It is best to be outside and have a clear,

unobstructed view of the sky. Without a clear view, acquisition takes much longer and could result in the MC9500-K

being unable to compute the initial position quickly. When operating the device indoors access to the GPS signals

may be limited or unavailable.

GPS Maps on microSD Cards

GPS navigation software vendors may sell maps on microSD cards. If using a microSD card with the GPS

navigation software install the microSD memory card using procedure in Installing a microSD Card on page 1-3.

Answering a Phone Call While Using GPS

If you receive a phone call while using your GPS navigation software:

1. Answer the phone call by pressing the Answer button.

2. Once you end the phone call, press the End Call button to resume the audio on the GPS software.

Losing the GPS Signal While in a Vehicle

GPS performance on the MC9500-K may be affected if the vehicle has thermal glass windows and windshields,

which can block the MC9500-K from receiving a GPS signal from satellites. To improve GPS signal strength, place

the MC9500-K where there is a clear view of the sky. A direct line of sight is required between the MC9500-K and

the GPS satellites to access information from the satellites.

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a system that allows the user to track their position anywhere on the earth.

Assisted GPS

GPS can be used in stand-alone or Assisted GPS (A-GPS) modes. A Stand-alone GPS receiver downloads data

from GPS satellites. In certain environments, it can take several minutes to get a fix. By using GPS Location

servers, A-GPS dramatically reduces the TTFF (Time To First Fix) and improves the sensitivity of GPS receivers by

providing them with data that they would ordinarily have to download from the GPS satellites. With the A-GPS data,

GPS receivers can operate faster and more reliably.

NOTE User can select COM port from the GPS program port drop-down list. If an application error message appears

indicating that the COM port cannot be opened, ensure that a free COM port is selected.

NOTE When using a GPS navigation application, ensure that the MC9500-K does not go into suspend mode. If the

MC9500-K suspends then the power to the GPS radio is removed. Upon resume the GPS receiver must reacquire

a valid GPS signal, resulting in a a delay of positional information.

NOTE Anytime you are using GPS on the MC9500-K and you receive a phone call, the audio on the GPS navigation

software is muted until you finish the call.
