3. I keep getting an intermittent message "No GPS signal, please check connections" when using my GPS Jacket. What is causing this?

If you are receiving an intermittent message "No GPS signal, please check connections" and are using an iPaq 3700, 3800 or 3900 please follow the directions below.

  1. On your Pocket PC tap on Start, Settings, Connections.
  2. Tap on Beams.
  3. Uncheck the box that reads "Receive all incoming beams and select discoverable mode".

This disables the auto-detection for your infrared port which is causing the conflict. Direct sunlight is causing the infrared port to become active causing a conflict with the GPS unit.
