Connecting Your Smartphone
NOTE: If a Quickstart installation memory card was included with
your purchase of CoPilot, you do not need to do this.
In order to successfully transfer data from your desktop to your
Smartphone, you must have Microsoft ActiveSync 3.1 (or later) installed.
This software is necessary to connect the two machines and is provided
by your Smartphone manufacturer. If you did not receive this software
with your mobile device, contact the distributor immediately.
1. When connecting your Smartphone,
if you have not set up a partnership
between your Smartphone and your
desktop, you will be prompted to do so.
This is not required. If you choose not
to set up a partnership, select Guest
partnership, and you will be logged in
as a Guest and ready to transfer data
between machines.
2. If you have set up a partnership in
the past, or choose to do so at this
point, be sure to allow your Smartphone
to synchronize with your desktop or
laptop prior to launching CoPilot.
NOTE: If your desktop/laptop computer
does not seem to be recognizing the
connection with your Smartphone,
select Connection Settings... from the
drop-down File menu, and make sure
you’re connected using the appropriate
Port. Then click Get Connected... in
the File menu and follow the on-screen
instructions.
GPS Troubleshooting:
1. Unable to switch on Bluetooth
a. Close CoPilot by selecting ‘Exit’ from the menu.
b. Switch your phone off and then on again using the power button.
c. Restart CoPilot, and select GPS from the CoPilot Welcome
screen.
d. Select Menu | Turn on Bluetooth.
e. Bluetooth should now be switched ON.
2. Proper Charging Techniques (IMPORTANT)
The Bluetooth GPS only needs to be charge for a maximum of 1
hour or until the Battery LED is off. Do not leave the Bluetooth
GPS receiver connected to the charger at all times, as it will degrade
the battery life and eventually drain the battery completely. Normal
battery life is 8 hours.
3. ‘No devices found’ in search for GPS
a. Close CoPilot by selecting ‘Exit’ from the menu.
b. Ensure that your Bluetooth GPS receiver is switched ON: Switch
the GPS receiver off and on. The green and blue lights will turn
on if the GPS receiver is charged up and working properly.
c. Restart CoPilot and select GPS from the CoPilot Welcome
screen.
d. Select Menu | Search for GPS.
e. Your Bluetooth receiver should appear with the name
‘BTGPS xxxx xxxx’.
4. Unable to get a GPS Fix.
If you can’t get a GPS signal after setting up your receiver, ensure
that your Bluetooth GPS receiver is switched on, charged up, and
working properly by switching it on and off. The green and blue
lights will turn on if the GPS receiver is properly charged. To avoid
unnecessary delays, make sure that your phone’s date and time are
properly set.
