1.  Press the Menu key, then Setup, then >>More until COM softkey is visible.  
2.  Press the COM key. A new screen appears. See figure below. 
3.  Select the GPS mode based on your requirements and the GPS device 

used. GIS mode (mode 2) is preferred as it is more integrated with the 
GPS device. In this mode, Arcpad scripts can be run on the GPS device 
for logging applications. 

4.  When GIS or PDA mode is selected, the user can select option to “Log 

Prompt” Yes / No. If “Log prompt – No” is selected, the data is sent 
automatically when exiting the Cable / Sonde depth mode / iD marker read 
/ iD marker program mode. If “Log Prompt - Yes” is selected, the user is 
prompted before Logging and is given a chance to Log or skip that point.

Note:  Remember to change this setting back to "PC" before connecting 
the 3M™ Dynatel™ Locator to your PC to use PC Locator tools. 
 

 

1.  A Bluetooth adapter can be connected to the Locator to communicate with 

GPS units that support “serial port profile” over Bluetooth wireless. Please 
refer to the section “Arcpad scripts with Trimble™ GeoXT™” in “Installing 
and running Arcpad scripts”. 

2.  Secure the “null” modem adapter to the 3M™ Dynatel™ Locator serial 

port connector (Thales™ MobileMapper™ Pro provides a cable and a 
bracket to hold on to the Locator).   

3.  Connect the GPS device to the null modem adapter using the cable 

supplied with the GPS device.  If the GPS device is not supplied with a 
cable, but has a standard DB9 connector, use the cable provided with 
your 3M™ Dynatel™ Locator.   

 
 
Note:  Remember to remove the null modem adapter before connecting to 
the 3M™ Dynatel™ Locator to your PC to use PC Locator tools.
