with GPS (see page 17)
• use real-time differential corrections for better accuracy (see page 19)
• use GPS data collection and navigation features (refer to the
documentation for the GPS application).

GPS COM ports

The integrated GPS receiver has three COM ports for communicating with
software on the handheld and with external devices. Using GPS is as
simple as opening the appropriate GPS COM port. Each port is used for a
particular type of communication:
Port Function Description
COM2 NMEA Outputs NMEA-0183 messages. NMEA is a standard
GPS communication protocol used by most GPS
applications.
The handheld outputs the following NMEA messages:
GGA, GLL, GSA, GSV, RMC, VTG, ZDA. All messages are
output at a 1-second interval.
COM3 TSIP Outputs and receives TSIP messages. TSIP (Trimble
Standard Interface Protocol) is used by Trimble GPS
applications, and is also supported by some other GPS
applications.
COM4 Real-time Receives RTCM real-time correction messages. If you
are using an external correction source connected to
COM1 or a Bluetooth port, the corrections must be
redirected to COM4. For more information, see Using
real-time corrections from other sources, page 18.

Note — COM1 is a standard serial port that connects to external devices. For
more information, see Using the optional serial clip, page 34.

14 Using GPS GeoExplorer Series Getting Started Guide

Configuring a GPS application
The first time you use GPS software on the handheld, you may need to
specify which GPS COM port to connect to. Specify COM2 if the software

serial port or to a Bluetooth port. Then configure the external device to
connect to that serial or Bluetooth port.

GeoExplorer Series Getting Started Guide Using GPS 15

Getting a clear view of the sky
To receive signals from GPS satellites, you must be in a location with a
clear view of the sky. GPS does not work indoors. Hold the handheld with
the screen toward you. The internal antenna is located above the screen
under the Trimble logo. You do not have to hold the handheld perfectly
level, but keep the antenna facing upward, not downward or sideways.
Anything that blocks light also blocks signals. Satellite signals can be
blocked by people, buildings, heavy tree cover, large vehicles, or powerful
transmitters. GPS signals can go through leaves, plastic, and glass, but
these all weaken the signal.

GPS quality control

By default, the handheld is configured to receive satellite signals in most
conditions. To check the current GPS status, or to configure the integrated
GPS receiver, tap the F1 GPS touch button. The Skyplot section of the GPS
Controller software appears.
The GPS Controller software is pre-installed on all GeoExplorer series
handhelds to give you access to advanced GPS settings and status details.
Use the graphical Skyplot section or
the Satellite Info section to view
detailed GPS information, and to
adjust the quality and yield of the GPS
positions you are receiving. Use the
GPS slider to select predefined
settings, or configure customized
settings.
GPS Controller also includes a Plan
section for mission planning (see
page 17) and a Real-time section for
configuring and monitoring real-time
correction sources (see page 19). For
more information on any GPS
Controller section or function, refer to
the GPS Controller Help.
Note — GPS Controller duplicates the status and setup features of TerraSync
and the GPScorrect extension for ArcPad. If one of these applications is
installed, it runs instead of GPS Controller when you tap the F1 GPS touch
button. For more information on TerraSync or GPScorrect, refer to the
documentation for that application.

16 Using GPS GeoExplorer Series Getting Started Guide

Planning a data collection session
To maximize productivity, plan GPS
data collection around the times of
the day when satellite geometry is
best. The GPS Controller software
includes a Plan section with an
animated skyplot and DOP (satellite
geometry) graph for your position for
the next 12 hours.
In the Plan section, you can check the
planning skyplot as you play a
session, then use the timeline to
zoom in on times when geometry is
poor. As you adjust GPS settings, the
Plan section is updated, so you can
see the effect of different quality
control settings.

Note — If TerraSync or the GPScorrect extension for ArcPad is installed, use

the planning feature in that application instead of in GPS Controller.

Using WAAS/EGNOS corrections

The GeoExplorer series handheld has an integrated receiver that uses
WAAS (Wide Area Augmentation System) or EGNOS (European
Geostationary Navigation Overlay System) correction messages to improve
GPS accuracy. The receiver tracks WAAS satellites between 30° West and
180° West, and tracks EGNOS satellites between 30° West and 90° East.

GeoExplorer Series Getting Started Guide Using GPS 17

 To use WAAS/EGNOS corrections:
1. In GPS Controller, open the
Real-time section and tap the
Setup button .
2. In the Choice 1 field, select
Integrated WAAS. In the Choice
2 field, specify whether to use
uncorrected positions, or to
stop using GPS positions, if
corrections are not available.
3. Tap OK.
Note — If TerraSync or the GPScorrect
extension for ArcPad is installed,
configure real-time settings in that
application instead of in GPS Controller.

Using real-time corrections from other sources

You can use corrections from an external correction source, such as a
Beacon-on-a-Belt (BoB) receiver, a DGPS radio, or a mobile phone. The
external correction source can be connected to a Bluetooth port or to the
optional serial clip (COM1). Use GPS Controller to set up and monitor the
real-time input source that you want to use.
Note — If TerraSync or the GPScorrect extension for ArcPad is installed,
configure real-time settings in that application instead of in GPS Controller.
The integrated GPS receiver only communicates through its GPS COM
ports (COM2, COM3, and COM4). Input from an external correction source
connected to COM1 or a Bluetooth port must be redirected to the real-time
GPS COM port (COM4). Trimble applications, such as GPS Controller,
handle the redirection automatically. If you are using any other application
to set up and monitor real-time sources, use GPS Connector to redirect the
input to COM4. For more information, see GPS Connector, page 19.

18 Using GPS GeoExplorer Series Getting Started Guide

GPS Connector
The GPS Connector software is
pre-installed on all GeoExplorer series
handhelds. To open GPS Connector, tap
/ Settings / Connections / GPS
Connector.
GPS Connector lets you connect the GPS
COM ports to COM1 or Bluetooth ports
and configure port settings such as the
baud rate. GPS Connector has a
graphical display that shows all active
connections, and a text display that
shows connection messages.
Use GPS Connector to output NMEA or
TSIP messages from the integrated
GPS receiver to another device, such
as an external data collector.
Note — If you are using a Bluetooth port,
enable and configure the Bluetooth
Serial Port service before you connect to
the port.
The connections that you create in
GPS Connector are only active while
the software is running. Connections
created by GPS Connector are labeled
GPS Connector in the status screen
and end when you exit the software.
For more information, refer to the GPS
Connector Help.

GeoExplorer Series Getting Started Guide Using GPS 19

Power
When fully charged, the internal battery of the handheld provides enough
power for a full working day using GPS. To extend the time between
charges, use the optional vehicle power adaptor or the portable power kit.
Using the support module with the AC power adaptor recharges the
internal battery. In the office, leave the GeoExplorer series handheld in the
support module to conserve the battery.

Suspend mode
When you press the Power button to turn off the handheld, the handheld
goes into Suspend mode. This is a low-power mode that maintains the

20 Power GeoExplorer Series Getting Started Guide

Charging the battery
Use the support module to charge the handheld’s internal battery. The
battery takes approximately five hours to recharge fully.
Tip — If you are not going to use the handheld for some time, either keep the
handheld connected to mains power to continually charge it, or fully charge
the handheld and switch it off. For more information, see Storage, page 50.
To charge the internal battery using the support module:
1. Use the AC power adaptor to connect the
support module to mains power.
2. Place the handheld in the support module.
3. Leave for up to five hours to recharge.
You can also use the optional serial clip to
recharge the internal battery. For more
information, see Using the optional serial clip, page 34.
Note — The Power Settings screen always shows 100% power for the backup
battery. The handheld does not have a backup battery installed because the
main memory is automatically backed up if the main battery runs low. For
more information, see Backing up data, page 22.

Conserving power
Although the handheld battery can operate for a full day without
recharging, you should try to conserve battery power as much as possible.
Follow these tips to reduce power consumption:
• Disconnect from the integrated GPS receiver when the receiver is not
in use. When you disconnect from GPS, the integrated GPS receiver
switches off and stops drawing power. Whenever GPS data is not
required, use the application’s Disconnect or Deactivate GPS option,
or exit the application.
Tip — Do not disconnect from GPS if you will be reconnecting within about
five minutes. A GPS application can take up to 30 seconds to reactivate
the integrated GPS receiver, so disconnecting to save power can cost time.
• Turn off the integrated Bluetooth radio whenever you are not using it.
For more information, see Using Bluetooth, page 25.
• Do not use the backlight, unless required. To turn off the backlight,
press the Display button. You can also set the backlight to
automatically turn off if the handheld has been idle for a specified
time. For more information, see Backlight, page 38.
• Set the handheld to automatically enter Suspend mode when idle. For
more information, see Suspend mode, page 20.

GeoExplorer Series Getting Started Guide Power 21

Memory
The handheld has two types of memory.
The main memory, which is similar to the RAM in a computer, is used
mainly for running programs, but it also stores essential files for the
Windows Mobile software. As with other Pocket PCs, you can adjust how
much of the main memory is allocated to running programs and how much
is allocated to storing data. For more information, see Memory
management, page 24.
The Disk, which is similar to the hard
disk in a computer, is used for storing
programs and data. The Disk is a
non-volatile storage location, so files
stored on the Disk are much safer
than files stored in the main memory.
To check the memory capacity on the
handheld, tap / Settings /
System / System Information. The
RAM field and the Flash Disk field
show the total memory in each
location, as well as the amount of
memory in each location that is
reserved by the operating system.
Some applications require program
and data files to be stored in main
memory (RAM). To allow such software to operate correctly, some folders
on the Disk are duplicated in main memory. You can store files and install
software in either location. However, unless using the Disk causes
problems when you run applications, Trimble recommends that you store
programs and data on the Disk.

Backing up data
To protect your data, back up the main memory and the Disk regularly.
The GeoExplorer series handheld features Pocket Backup, which enables
you to back up and restore the main memory, or selected files, folders,
registry settings and databases. With Pocket Backup you can schedule
regular back ups, and it will automatically back up the main memory when
the battery runs low.
To change Pocket Backup settings, tap / Programs / Pocket Backup
and tap Options.

22 Memory GeoExplorer Series Getting Started Guide

 Backing up the memory
If the handheld loses power, or you perform a hard reset, the main
memory is cleared. When the handheld restarts, you can restore the main
memory from the last backup.
Note — Any unsaved data and any changes in the main memory since the
last backup are lost.
To back up the main memory, do one of the following:
• Tap / Backup Now.
• Tap / Programs / Pocket Backup.
To restore the main memory:
1. Either:
• Tap / Programs / Restore Now.
• Hard reset the handheld.
2. When the Restore from Backup dialog box appears, tap Yes. The
handheld will restore the main memory and automatically perform a
soft reset. For more information, see Resetting, page 24.

Backing up the Disk

The Disk is non-volatile memory, so documents and program files that are
stored on the Disk are not affected by power loss or resetting. However,
you can still lose data if you accidentally delete or overwrite it.
Warning — When you delete files from the Disk, they are deleted permanently.
The GeoExplorer series handheld does not have a Recycle Bin.
To protect your data, Trimble recommends that you use ActiveSync to
regularly create a backup copy of the Disk on a computer.
Note — The Backup/Restore command in ActiveSync’s Tools menu backs up
only the main memory (RAM). It does not back up the Disk.
To back up files from the Disk:
1. Connect the handheld to the computer using ActiveSync.
2. In ActiveSync, click Explore. Windows Explorer opens, showing the
contents of the handheld.
3. Browse to the location of the files that you want to back up.
4. Select the files that you want to back up, and then copy them to the
computer.

GeoExplorer Series Getting Started Guide Memory 23

 To restore files to the Disk from a backup on a computer:
1. Connect the handheld to the computer using ActiveSync.
2. Copy files from the backup copy on the computer to the handheld,
overwriting the existing files.

Resetting
If the handheld stops responding to the stylus, or the screen goes blank,
you may need to reset it.
To reset the GeoExplorer series handheld:
1. If the screen is still responding to stylus taps, back up the main
memory. For more information, see Backing up data, page 22.
2. Do one of the following:
• Soft reset: If an application has stopped responding, hold down
the Power button until the screen goes blank (about 5 seconds).
The handheld restarts automatically.
Note — Avoid pressing the Display button during a soft reset, as the
handheld will not restart automatically.
• Hard reset: If a soft reset does not work, hold down the Power
button for 15 seconds to turn the handheld off, then press the
Power button to turn it on again.
The main memory is cleared and can be restored from the backup
on the Disk. You will lose any unsaved data (for example, any
unsaved changes to documents), and any data in the main
memory that has changed since the last main memory backup.
Note — Files stored on the Disk are not affected by a reset.
Tip — To restore the handheld to the factory default settings, tap No when
the Restore from Backup dialog box appears after a hard reset.

Memory management
To protect your data, Trimble recommends that you install all programs to
the Disk, and store all documents on the Disk. This also improves
performance, because more memory can be allocated to running programs.

24 Memory GeoExplorer Series Getting Started Guide

Using Bluetooth
The GeoExplorer series handheld has an integrated Bluetooth radio that
you can use to establish a wireless connection to other Bluetooth devices
that are within range. Using a Bluetooth connection, you can communicate
with devices such as mobile phones, desktop computers, handhelds, and
digital cameras. You can also communicate with peripheral devices that
use Bluetooth adaptors instead of serial or USB connections.
To communicate using a Bluetooth connection, a client device scans the
Bluetooth radio frequency to “discover” other Bluetooth devices. Once it
has discovered a host, the client selects the service that it will use. A
service defines what type of information can be transferred to or from the
host, and how.
The handheld can be used as a client or as a host, and can act as both at
the same time.

GeoExplorer Series Getting Started Guide Using Bluetooth 27

Connecting to a Bluetooth service as a client
You can use the GeoExplorer series handheld as a Bluetooth client. A
Bluetooth client uses services offered by Bluetooth host devices that are
within range.
For example, you can connect the handheld to a mobile phone that has an
internal modem, so that you can access the Internet. The mobile phone is
the host (because it is providing the Dial-up Networking (DUN) service) and
the handheld is a client using that service.
The GeoExplorer series handheld can connect to the following services:
Service Description
ActiveSync Enables an ActiveSync connection to a computer. To use
an ActiveSync service, enable the Bluetooth port on the
computer and then configure ActiveSync to use this port.
Bond with an ActiveSync service (see page 27), and set up
a client serial port for the device, making sure you select
the Default Bluetooth ActiveSync check box. Then tap

Setting up a Client Serial Port

A Serial Port service creates a virtual serial port on the GeoExplorer series
handheld. You can use this port to connect to another Bluetooth device,
just as you would use a physical COM port and a cable to connect to a
physical serial port. Like a physical port, the virtual serial port sends and
receives data using the RS-232 serial communication protocol.
Unlike other Bluetooth connections, you don’t need to bond with the other
device before you set up the client serial port connection. This means you
can set up serial port connections with devices that otherwise you would
not be able to bond with, such as the Trimble 5800 receiver, which does
not have a keypad for entering a PIN.
For more information about serial port services, see page (see page 32).

GeoExplorer Series Getting Started Guide Using Bluetooth 29

 To set up a client serial port connection:

available COM or BSP port on the
handheld. The next available port
is selected as the default.
Tip — If the application that will use
this service cannot recognize BSP
ports, select a COM port.
6. Normally, the host device handles
authentication and encryption. If
you require these options, but the
host cannot be configured, select
the Authentication and Encryption
check boxes.
7. To select this client as the default device for ActiveSync, select the
Default Bluetooth ActiveSync check box.
8. Tap Finish. The client serial port you have just set up is listed under
New... in the Client Serial Ports list, with the assigned port indicated.

set up. If the host requires authentication, you must enter a PIN to
connect.

GeoExplorer Series Getting Started Guide Using Bluetooth 31

Providing Bluetooth services as a host
You can use the predefined Bluetooth host services on the
GeoExplorer series handheld, or create additional Serial Port services.
To provide a host service, turn on the Bluetooth radio (see page 26) and
make the device Discoverable (see page 27). If the service is a Serial Port
service, you may need to add or configure the service (see page 33). The
other host services do not require any configuration.
The GeoExplorer series handheld provides the following host services:
Service Description
Basic Imaging Allows the client to preview, browse, and copy JPEG image
files, and to send JPEG files to the handheld.
File Transfer Allows a client to browse, copy, paste, and delete files and
folders on the handheld.
Beam Object Allows the handheld and the client to exchange data
objects, such as virtual business cards, or virtual
calendars.
Serial Port Emulates an RS-232 serial (COM) port on the handheld.
For more information, see Serial Port services, page 32.
You can only configure Serial Port services. Other services use
pre-assigned ports, use the \Disk\My Documents\File Transfer folder for
file transfers, and have authentication and encryption enabled.

Serial Port services

A Serial Port service creates a virtual serial port on the GeoExplorer series
handheld. You can use this port to connect to another Bluetooth device,
just as you would use a physical COM port and a cable to connect to a
physical serial port. Like a physical port, the virtual serial port sends and
receives data using the RS-232 serial communication protocol.
Tip — Trimble applications, such as GPS Controller and TerraSync, can
connect to BSP ports as well as to COM ports. However, some other
applications do not recognize BSP ports. If a client device is unable to connect
to a Serial Port service that uses a BSP port, configure the service to use a
COM port instead.
A Serial Port service is already set up on the handheld. By default, this
service uses COM6. You can change the COM port and the service name.
You can also add new Serial Port services that use other COM ports or BSP
ports.

name, or for an existing host serial
port, edit the name if required.
6. From the Port list, select an
available COM or BSP port on the
handheld. The next available port
is selected as the default.
7. The Authentication check box is
selected by default. When the
host connects to this service, the
Enter PIN dialog appears. Enter a
PIN in this dialog, and then enter
the same PIN on the client.
Note — Authentication helps to ensure that your data remains secure.
However, if you enable authentication, only client devices that support PIN
entry will be able to connect to the service.
8. The Encryption check box is selected by default, so that data
transferred using this service will be encrypted.
9. Tap Finish to return to the Serial Ports tab. The new host serial port is
listed in the Host Serial Ports list, with the assigned port indicated.
Applications on the handheld can now use the COM or BSP port that you
selected for this service. For example, to provide NMEA messages to a
Bluetooth client, use GPS Connector to output NMEA from the integrated
GPS receiver to the selected COM or BSP port.

check the documentation for the application.
Not enough satellites are visible
Move to a location where you have a clear view of the sky and
ensure the antenna is not obstructed.
Alternatively, adjust the GPS settings to increase productivity. For
more information, refer to the GPS Controller help, or the TerraSync
or GPScorrect help if it is installed.
External antenna connected but not receiving data
The handheld can take up to two seconds to detect that an optional
external antenna has been connected or disconnected
Not receiving WAAS/EGNOS satellite is obstructed from view
WAAS/EGNOS Check the location of the WAAS/EGNOS satellite in the GPS
real-time Controller, TerraSync, or GPScorrect Skyplot section, and move to a
corrections different location if possible.

GeoExplorer Series Getting Started Guide Troubleshooting 47

Problem Cause and Solution
Not receiving You are outside the WAAS and EGNOS coverage areas
WAAS/EGNOS WAAS corrections are available in the Northern hemisphere
real-time between 30° West and 180° West. EGNOS corrections are
corrections available in the Northern hemisphere between 30° West and 90°
(continued) East. If you are outside these areas, you cannot use WAAS or
EGNOS corrections.
Not receiving No physical connection
real-time Connect the external real-time source to COM1 or a Bluetooth port
corrections from on the handheld.
external source Not connected to GPS COM port correctly
In the Real-time section in GPS Controller, TerraSync, or GPScorrect,
select the serial (COM) or Bluetooth (BSP) port that the real-time
source is connected to.
If you are using a non-Trimble application, use GPS Connector to
create a connection between the COM or BSP port and the
integrated GPS receiver’s real-time GPS COM port (COM4).
Incorrect port settings
Change the port settings to match those used by the external
source.
No GPS positions
You cannot use real-time corrections until the GPS receiver is
computing positions. In the application, make sure that the
integrated GPS receiver is activated, enough satellites are available,
and the satellite geometry (PDOP) is good enough to compute
positions.
No Bluetooth connection to external correction source
The Bluetooth external correction source is more than ten meters
from the handheld, or is obstructed. Move the devices closer
together, in a direct line of sight, to re-connect.
Integrated WAAS selected as second real-time choice
If the WAAS/EGNOS status is Waiting, the integrated GPS receiver
may incorrectly change the status of the preferred real-time choice
to Waiting as well. To avoid this, select Wait for real-time or Use
uncorrected GPS as your second choice.
NMEA data Integrated GPS receiver outputs autonomous positions when
includes real-time corrections are unavailable.
autonomous Configure your NMEA application to filter out non-DGPS positions.
