Configuring the Bluetooth GPS Receiver:

1. Switch on your Bluetooth GPS receiver by flipping the switch to 1.

The green and blue lights should turn on if the GPS receiver is properly
charged.

Important: Please charge the receiver for several hours before set-up
using the supplied in-car charger.

2. Launch CoPilot: From your home screen select Start > CoPilot.

The GPS Status screen will be displayed.

NOTE: On the MPx220 select Start > Settings > Bluetooth > Bluetooth.

3. If Bluetooth does not have a green checkmark next to it (see picture

below), select Menu > Turn On Bluetooth.

4. Press Menu > Search for GPS to search for your Bluetooth GPS

receiver. When your receiver appears in the list, press Select.

After a few seconds the system should display ‘GPS Signal: Found’.
If after a few minutes the system has not found a GPS receiver, exit
CoPilot, turn off the phone, turn off the GPS receiver, and then repeat
steps 1 to 4.

find the GPS receiver, see GPS Trouble-shooting, p. 5.

5. Select Done. You are now ready to start navigating!

The small square on the bottom right of your screen in Guidance mode
indicates your GPS ‘fix’ (see next page). Green is good, yellow is okay, and
red means your GPS receiver does not have a fix.
