Compass Calibration
The Archer 2 has a built-in compass and accelerometer.
The compass is used for embossing GPS/GNSS information
on pictures taken with the camera, or embedding GPS/
GNSS information into jpg files. The compass is also used by
the JSNav program. The accelerometer assists the compass
in determining direction, even when the device is not
resting flat. (See Chapter 6, GPS/GNSS, JSNav Application
and Chapter 7, Camera, Geotagging.)
The compass and accelerometer can also be used by other
user applications.
Establishing a Partnership
1. Plug the USB Client end (micro B) of the USB
communications cable into the Archer 2.
2. Plug the USB Host end (full size A) of the USB
communications cable into your computer.
3. Establish an ActiveSync® or Windows Mobile ® Device
Center partnership by following the instructions on the
computer screen.
4. Once a partnership is established, the synchronization
software automatically opens. Follow the steps on the
screen.
Creating a Partnership
To create a partnership between the Archer 2 and another
device with Bluetooth technology:
1. Turn both devices on.
2. Place them within at least 100 feet (30 meters) of one
another.
3. Make Bluetooth discoverable on both devices. Bluetooth
on the Archer 2 is on and discoverable by default. The
gadget on the Home screen turns green.
Using GPS/GNSS
To use GPS/GNSS, tap on the GPS/GNSS status gadget to
turn it on. The GPS/GNSS starts looking for satellites to use for
a fix. The green LED on the keypad blinks periodically, and a
satellite icon is placed on the title top bar.
GPS/GNSS Settings
To view or make changes to the GPS/GNSS settings or set
up an external GPS/GNSS receiver, press and hold the GPS/
GNSS status gadget on the Home screen to go to the control
panel.
Chapter 6 GPS/GNSS 57
GPS Intermediate Driver
The GPS Intermediate Driver (GPSID) is used to allow more
than one program to use data from the GPS/GNSS receiver.
The GPS/GNSS Settings control panel controls how the GPSID
is used. Internal GPS/GNSS is on COM8 and communicates
at 115200 baud. These settings are found on the Hardware
screen of the GPS/GNSS Settings control panel. If another
GPS/GNSS receiver is to be used, this is where you connect
that GPS/GNSS receiver so that the GPSID can access it.
The GPSID can output data on another COM port in a way
that allows multiple programs to access the same COM
port. This is called the Program Port and defaults to COM2.
This can be set up on the Programs screen of the GPS/GNSS
Settings control panel.
The camera, GPS/GNSS function and JSNav application use
the GPSID to obtain GPS/GNSS information. Turning off the
GPSID through the GPS/GNSS hardware port disables these
functions.
Note: If an application accesses the GPS/GNSS module
directly on COM8, the GPSID will not have access to the
GPS/GNSS, preventing camera geotagging and GPS/GNSS
from functioning.
GPS/GNSS Accuracy
The GPS/GNSS antenna is in the top of the Archer 2. Do not
put your hand or another object over the cap. This reduces
accuracy. The more items between you and the satellites,
the lower the accuracy.
Chapter 6 GPS/GNSS 59
JSNav Settings
Tap on the menu icon in the upper left corner of the
screen, and select Settings from the list. Go through the
menu options to set up JSNav.
Chapter 6 GPS/GNSS 61
To collect a waypoint, tap the waypoint icon at
the bottom of the screen. Position information for the
waypoint is recorded.
Tap the edit icon to add or edit the name, description,
notes, and file type for this waypoint.
To navigate back to the waypoint you just collected, tap
the compass icon. A rotating compass is shown. Walk
in the direction of the red arrow. The distance shown
decreases as you get closer. Text saying Arrived is shown
and you hear a beep (if audio notifications are set up)
when you reach the navigation distance threshold set up
in GPS Settings.
Chapter 6 GPS/GNSS 63
Importing Waypoints and Tracks
Waypoint and track file formats must be .kml, .kmz, or
.csv. CSV files must contain a column for both latitude and
longitude.
To import a waypoint or track file, place the file into the
\My Documents\My Waypoints or \My Tracks directory. You
can create subdirectories to organize your data if you want.
Once you place a waypoint or track file into the proper
directory or subdirectory it appears in the list of waypoint or
track files.
An imported track file can only contain one track if you
are going to navigate to a specific track. If a file contains
multiple tracks, a button inside of JSNav is available to
extract the tracks into separate files.
Pictures Menu
Select the Menu soft key for a pull-down list of setting options.
View or change the settings before you take photos. These
settings will apply to all photos taken, but can be edited as
needed.
Geotagging
When pictures are geotagged, the date, time, latitude,
longitude, file name, and notes can be included with the
pictures with the emboss and embed options.
Note: Calibrate the compass before you use Geotagging.
Refer to Chapter 3, Programs and Settings, Compass
Calibration.
Follow these steps:
1. Turn on GPS/GNSS by tapping the GPS/GNSS gadget
on the Home screen and waiting for a fix.

Wireless Safety
RF Interference Issues
It is important to follow any special regulations regarding
the use of radio equipment due in particular to the
possibility of radio frequency (RF), interference. Follow the
safety advice given below carefully.
Switch OFF your cell modem when in an aircraft. The use
of cellular telephones in an aircraft may endanger the
operation of the aircraft, disrupt the cellular network, and
is illegal.
Switch OFF your cell modem in hospitals and any other
place where medical equipment may be in use
Respect restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel
depots, chemical plants or where blasting operations are
in progress
Operating your cell modem close to inadequately
protected personal medical devices, such as hearing
aids and pacemakers, could be hazardous. Consult the
manufacturers of the medical device to determine if it is
adequately protected.
Operation of your cell modem close to other electronic
equipment may also cause interference if the equipment
is inadequately protected. Observe any warning signs
and manufacturers’ recommendations.
Do not place the cell modem alongside computer discs,
credit or travel cards, or other magnetic media. The
modem may affect the information contained on discs or
cards.
Barcode Troubleshooting
3 – When I read a barcode, the data returned is not correct.
Reason/Solution: Ensure that the configurations are set up
correctly so you are given the information you need. For
example, to read a Code 32 barcode, on the 1D Code Type
tab, ensure that Code 39 is selected. Select Options, and on
the Code 39 tab ensure that Convert Code 39 to Code 32 is
selected.
4 – I don’t know what type of barcode I am trying to scan.
Reason/Solution: Enable all the barcode types on the 1D
Code Types, Composite/Postal Code Types, and 2D Code
Types tabs (some types are mutually exclusive). Go to the
Test screen. Scan the barcode and the Code Type window
