Serial Connection

When connecting to a laptop through a serial port the receiver is powered through the

laptop’s battery. Plug the PS/2 port connector on your GPS unit into the PS/2 port of your

laptop. Do not plug the serial port connector into your laptop until after Windows has

finished booting up. TIP: To see the serial ports available on your PC, open the Control

Panel, select System, click on the Device Manager tab, then click on the plus sign next to

Ports in the list of devices. The Settings box displays the hardware settings used by the

COM port. The setting for your COM port should be 4800,8,N,1. See diagram below for

connection instructions.
