Pls firstly make sure the Bluetooth conenction is established between your PDA/smart phone and BT-Q880. After pairing suceeded, you will be found "BT-Q880" in your Smart phone/PDA pairing list.

The GPS should be set-up as Other Bluetooth GPS (For some HP PDA, it might require you to set Other Cable NMEA GPS , other than "Other Bluetooth GPS"), and then select the Bluetooth COM port. (pls refer to "GPS Products > Bluetooth GPS Receiver > Q8" for the current com port, or double check on your PDA's Bluetooth Manager for Outbound COM port)
2. Back to GPS status screen - check left upper corner. Does it show "No GPS device" or " No Valid GPS signal " ?
If "No GPS device" it means you didn't connect the BT-Q880 with PDA/smart phone right, Pls. will try again Bluetooth connect.
If "No Valid GPS signal" , Pls. will go outdoor and make sure the BT-Q880 with Stellite Green LED is steady on and this means BT-Q880 can receive GPS signal correctly.
