Using GPS Using Chapter 3 Using GPS Introduction The FR6876 includes Global Positioning System (GPS) technology using the Qualcomm chip. GPS technology is based on a worldwide system of GPS satellites orbiting the earth that continuously transmit digital radio signals. These radio signals contain data on the satellites’ locations and their exact clock time and are used to determine your location on the earth.
Using GPS Using 4. Tap ok to close the Setting window. NOTE If an application error message appears indicating that the COM port cannot be opened, ensure that a free COM port is selected in the GPS hardware port drop-down list. Operation Acquiring satellite signals may take 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 FR6876 being unable to compute the initial position quickly.
Using GPS Using 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. NOTE Anytime you are using GPS on the FR6876 and you receive a phone call, the audio on the GPS navigation software is muted until you finish the call.
Using GPS Using A-GPS follows the Secure User Plane Location (SUPL) protocol which allows the FR6876 to communicate with a location server. Refer to the EMDK Help file for information on setting up SUPL on the FR6876.
Chapter 4 Using Bluetooth Introduction Bluetooth-equipped devices can communicate without wires, using frequency-hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) radio frequency (RF) to transmit and receive data in the 2.4 GHz Industry Scientific and Medical (ISM) band (802.15.1). Bluetooth wireless technology is specifically designed for short-range (30 feet/10 meters) communication and low power consumption. FR6876s with Bluetooth capabilities can exchange information (e.g.
Using Bluetooth The Bluetooth radio in this FR6876 operates as a Class 2 device power class. The maximum output power is 2.5mW and the expected range is 32.8 feet (10 meters). A definition of ranges based on power class is difficult to obtain due to power and device differences, and whether one measures open space or closed office space. NOTE It is not recommended to perform Bluetooth wireless technology inquiry when high rate 802.11b operation is required.
Using Bluetooth Turning the Bluetooth Radio Mode On and Off Turn off the Bluetooth radio to save power or if entering an area with radio restrictions (e.g., an airplane). When the radio is off, other Bluetooth devices cannot see or connect to the FR6876. Turn on the Bluetooth radio to exchange information with other Bluetooth devices (within range). Communicate only with Bluetooth radios in close proximity. NOTE To achieve the best battery life turn off radios not in use.
Using Bluetooth Bond New Device(s) The FR6876 can exchange information with bonded devices. To find Bluetooth devices in the area: 1. Ensure that Bluetooth is enabled on both devices. 2. Ensure that the Bluetooth device to discover is in discoverable and connectable modes. 3. Ensure that the two devices are within 30 feet (10 meters) of one another. 4. Tap the Bluetooth icon to enter Wireless Manager. Then tap Menu. Figure 4-3 5. Enter Bluetooth Window Tap Menu to enter Settings window.
Using Bluetooth Figure 4-5 Discover Devices Dialog Box File Transfer Services To transfer files between the FR6876 and another Bluetooth enabled device, please ensure the FR6876 is discoverable and connectable. NOTE Some devices might not require a PIN. This depends upon the device’s authentication. 1. Choose one file as below, tap Menu > Beam picture Menu. Figure 4-6 Select file 2. Then choose the destination device, and wait till Done is showed.
Using Bluetooth Figure 4-7 Transfer file Window Bluetooth Settings Use the Bluetooth Settings window to configure the operation of the application. Tap Menu > Settings. The Bluetooth Settings window appears. Device Info Tab Use the Device Info tab to add and bond new devices. Please refer to Bond new device(s). Mode Tab Use the Mode tab to configure the FR6876’s Bluetooth connection modes. Figure 4-8 BTExplorer Settings - Device Info Tab 1. Before bonding a new device, make sure to turn on Bluetooth.
Using Bluetooth 1. Tap New Outgoing Port. Figure 4-9 2. Select the device you want to add. Then tap Next. Figure 4-10 3. Add COM Ports Select device Select a port from drop-down list. Then tap Finish.
Chapter 5 Using the Phone Introduction Use the FR6876 to make phone calls, set up speed dials, keep track of calls, and send text messages.
