1. Introduction

1.1. Minimum Requirements

1. PageWriter 2000x or Timeport 930/935 with Flex OS version 2.0.0.14 or later. To check the version of FLEX OS on your unit, launch the "Customize" or “Controls” application, and then select "About PageWriter". If your pager is Flex OS version 1.0x we recommend installing our older version available at

www.stockboss.com/sbia_pw106.exe or upgrading your pager to Flex OS

version 2.X or higher.

2. At least 40 K bytes of open FLASH memory on your PageWriter/Timeport. To check the free FLASH memory on your unit, launch the “Customize" or “Controls” application, select "Memory Usage", and if necessary (depending on version of FLEX OS), select the "Advanced" button.

3. FLEX PC Partner for your PC, version 2.0.0.14 or later. To check the version of PC Partner, launch PC Partner, then select "Help" in the main menu bar, and then select "About Partner".

1.2. Subscription Plan

When you first set up StockBoss on your PageWriter/Timeport, you will normally be given a two-week free trial period. After this trial period, StockBoss services are offered to subscribers for a monthly subscription fee. The current subscription fee structure can be found at www.stockboss.com.

1.3. Overview

StockBoss is a powerful financial interactive application that utilizes the graphic capabilities of the Motorola PageWriter 2000X and Timeport pagers to provide the end user with access to their stock portfolio and market information. In addition, StockBoss Interactive allows the user to visually graph historical stock data directly on their pager in order to portray a complete market status.

Based upon the unit’s two-way communications capabilities, StockBoss provides sophisticated navigation of financial data, plus allows for on-demand requests for new financial information.

Users can access their stock portfolios directly from the pager, tracking history in chart form, in addition to the receipt and request on demand of stock information. Receipt of quotes and updates are available, customized to individual user preferences, as well as the interactive option to request "on demand" specific market information. StockBoss Interactive is an ideal financial resource for mobile users of interactive pagers who track market performance during the trading day. Moreover, StockBoss users have the unique option of modifying and maintaining their stock portfolios directly from their pager, without ever having to access the Internet. This convenience allows complete freedom and customized use to meet the needs of the mobile investor.

2. Installation

Execute the install script sbia_pw.exe and follow the instructions on each screen. If you are upgrading from a prior version be sure to remove the older copy as instructed and reboot the pager.

IMPORTANT – Be sure to RESET your unit, both BEFORE and AFTER installing StockBoss. To do so, use the "Power Off" application on your unit or hit the AltHome keys, and then select any key to reboot the unit.

IMPORTANT – Wait for your pager to return to 2 way service mode before starting the StockBoss application.

After successful installation the main application wheel or desktop will contain the StockBoss item. To begin using StockBoss select this item.
