Q6 Why would Nokia smartphone show the message “Unable to pair devices?when pair with BT-Q810?
A6 Due to the quick time out between Nokia smartphone and GPS receiver, your phone would show the message “unable to pair devices? Actually, it already completed the pair with BT-Q810. So you can ignore the msg. when you start your navigation software, it would establish the Bluetooth connection automatically and start to navigate.
 
Q7

Why would Nokia N73/E50 interrupt the Bluetooth connection when navigate with BT-Q818/BT-Q810?
A7 Qstarz BT-Q818/BT-Q810 is featured with Auto On-Off function (Sleeping mode) for power saving. However Nokia N73/E50 does not support Sleeping mode, so it would interrupt the Bluetooth connection when pairing with Qstarz BT-Q818/BT-Q810 GPS receiver. Nokia N73 already released new firmware V3.0649 to solve this issue. Before using Nokia N73 with BT-Q818/BT-Q810, please consult Nokia service center for latest firmware update. However Nokia E50's latest firmware hadn't resolved this issue. Qstarz will take this as first priority to work on it and announce the positive result soon.
