Version 1.01 

5 OPERATION GUIDE 

Before using the NAVI-XS, make sure to prepare the following items: 

♦ 

GPS software is properly installed on your Bluetooth™-enabled 

device (PC, laptop, Pocked PC, or other handheld devices). 

♦ 

The Bluetooth™ GPS Receiver is fully powered  (i.e. internal batteries 

are full charged) and operational. 

♦ 

Check that the Bluetooth™ GPS Receiver is ON. 

This section will outline the necessary procedures for the Bluetooth™ GPS receiver to 

run smoothly with the GPS Mapping software. 

5.1 Installation instructions 

In the delivery package the NiMH 1000 mA/h (2 x 1.2 V) batteries for NAVI-XS are 
separately packed, just take them out from the package, open the cover cap on   

the underside of the NAVI-XS and insert both batteries in it. 

Note,

 insert the batteries 

with the correct polarity

!

 Check the polarity marks on the battery (positive [+] and 

negative [-]) before mounting the batteries in the device. Insert the batteries as 

shown on the edges of the housing. Finally, close the cover cap. In order to 
recharge the batteries use one of the aforementioned adapters. After the batteries 

are fully charged, place your Falcom NAVI-XS in such a location where it is facing 

toward the sky (e.g. vehicle’s dashboard). The internal GPS antenna is mounted on 
the topside of NAVI-XS unit. Thereafter, turn it on by pressing the 

ON-button

 for longer 

two seconds until a short beep is heard. (To turn it off again, press the 

OFF-button 

for 

longer than two seconds until a long beep is heard.) The mounting location of the 
NAVI-XS is crucial for its optimal performance. The Bluetooth™ connection between 

the Falcom NAVI-XS receiver and your mobile phone/PDA/PC or laptop can now be 

established. See table 4, for more information about the LEDs. 

Note:

 

For best results, the NAVI-XS should also perform a GPS fix now. The GPS 

indicator will light steadily

 

when a valid GPS fix is obtained. If there is 

trouble during acquire a GPS fix, replace the location of NAVI-XS or 
restart it again.

 

Please, refer to the corresponding chapter as far as the Bluetooth™ connection is 

concerned.
