1. Pair the PDA and GPS device

Make sure the GPS device is paired with one particular PDA by doing the following:

1. Turn on Bluetooth on your PDA

2. Turn on your Bluetooth GPS device

3. Open the Mscape player on your PDA

4. Go to File > Configure Comm Ports, and under GPS select 6: Bluetooth Serial Port COM6. If this is already selected, choose "Disabled" instead, press "OK", then exit the Mscape player and start again from step 1.

5. Press OK

6. Go to File > Open Script, and open your project

7. The 'Select a Bluetooth Device' screen appears.

8. Check Always use the Selected Device

9. Click on your GPS device (it will be called something like "ClipOn-BTGPS")

10. Press OK on the next window that pops up

11. A window will now appear asking for authentication information. Type in 0000 (four zeros) and press OK.


2. Turn on PDA and GPS device


1. Turn off both the GPS device and the PDA

2. Turn on the GPS device.

3. Turn the PDA back on and turn on Bluetooth (click on the icon in the bottom right of the screen and click the big Bluetooth button.)

4. Open the Mscape player and open your project

5. You should now see a blue light flashing on both devices meaning they are connected to each other.

If you don't see this go to 'Help: Ensuring PDA and GPS have signal'
