5-5. Function of Vibration Sensor

Vibration Sensor: Vibration Sensor is functioned for power saving and waypoint saving. It will detect the physical movement of the device. When it detects the device not moving more than 10 minutes, Q1000eX will enter sleep mode so that the Blue LED will turn to flash every 5 seconds. Under sleep mode the log will be disabled. When the device is on sleep mode, SHAKE the device to wake it up and the blue LED will turn to flash every 2 seconds (at 5Hz mode this blue LED will not flash) and GPS Orange LED will be also on. *Vibration Sensor function is turned on as default and can be turned off by provided software -> config GPS. Note: Once the device enter sleep mode and it may auto wake-up when detecting “significant” movement. We strongly suggest you to use SHAKE method as first priority to wake-up device in case some tracks might not be recorded.

Update the AGPS data from internet assistance server to boost warm start speed to 15sec.

A-GPS is a system where outside sources, such as an assistance server and reference network, help a GPS receiver boosts performance beyond that of the same receiver in a stand-alone mode by downloading the almanac data from an assistance server.

Note1: A-GPS can boost GPS warm start speed to always lower than 15sec fix after the first fix. The A-GPS efficiency will decrease when time goes by. If it expires, you would have to download almanac data again because the acceleration efficiency of fix will become totally ineffective.

Note2: Please don't update the almanac data via Bluetooth interface.

Question	Answer
Can BT-Q1000eX be used to navigate when travel log is on?	Yes, BT-Q1000eX is able to navigate and log simultaneously whether on 1Hz mode or on 5Hz mode.
I lost my travel charger and battery. Where can I find replacements for both?	DC Input range of BT-Q1000eX is 4.5~5.5V. You can use a travel charger which support DC output range from 4.5~5.5V. You can also use a common mini USB cable to charge your unit via the laptop. Besides, The battery for BT-Q1000eX is compatible with >okia phone series. The battery model is B+-5C.
Can the logged data be downloaded through Bluetooth?	Yes, Q1000eX is able to transmit log data through Bluetooth.
Why does BT-Q1000eX only can log 300,000~320,000 waypoints?	We active more options previously to provide detailed GPS information for user's reference and download. So it would use more memory. If you reduce the options (under +og Format) for your log, it would save the memory and increase more waypoints.
My BT-Q1000eX could not use for 42 hours (1Hz mode)?	BT-Q1000eX can use 42 hours under the optimum environment. GPS would need more power consumption when keep trying a position fix, seeking Bluetooth connection, or under an unstable environment (bad weather, forest, buildings). Those would take GPS more calculation and power consumption. So it would spend more power consumption. After the red +ED light is blanking, it still can be used for your navigation without any problem.
