TeleNav™ 3.7 utilizes the integration of GPS position determination technology, the Java™ programming
environment, and access to Boost Mobile’s packet data netwo rk that are all built-in to the Motorola i 710, i730, i733,
i736, and i830 mobile phones. TeleNav 3 .7 offers basi c free services, and o ne level of enhanced p aid subscription
services.
The free services (GPS Tools) include:
1. A compass-like indicator presenting your direction of travel, location, and speed.
2. The ability to mark your current location as a waypoint that you ca n label.
3. A viewer that allows you to see your current location relative to a select ed waypoint, a nd to navigate
relative to that selected waypoint.
None of these basic GPS services require you to have Boo st Mobile packet data service. They a ll operate sol ely
within the mobile phone itself.
The paid TeleNav GPS services include all basic service s and the additiona l services noted be low:
1. GPS navigation than punctually guides you turn-by-turn to any destination address in the Continental
US. If you miss a turn or get off-track, TeleNav will calculate a new route for you. You can enter one or
more destination addresses by calling an automatic voice recognition system, entering them on the
TeleNav website, or keying them directly into the phone. Optionally, the user can in put a remote origin
and receive Driving Directions from that origin address t o a selected de stination address.
2. A Biz Finder look up feature that allows you to find businesses or points of interest near your current
location, around a waypoint, around an entered add ress, or around a n airport. You can call the
business first to check availability of an item, or get a re servation, and then navigate to it; or you can
save the address for use later in the day.
3. Maps of the area around your current location; a marked waypoint; or an address you enter manually,
or have previously entered. You can pan (adjust left/right or up/down) the map, or zoom in or out. You
can also mark a point under the cursor as a waypoi nt.
4. A suite of Locator functions that allow you to: a) see your current location as an approximate stre et
address rather than latitude and longitude; b) send your locatio n to a friend; c) reque st and receive t he
locations of one or more friends and d) send your location to the TeleNav website so someone with
the access control PIN you provide can find you.
TeleNav’s servers support each of these services via the Boost Mobile packet data network.

5. Access Permissions
GPS Privacy
Your phone restricts access to its GPS location data. Th e phone’s GP S receiver can be in one of three mod es: 1)
Restricted, 2) Unrestricte d or 3) By Permission. To allow TeleNav to acce ss the GPS data may requ ire changing
the Privacy Settings.
First, press the Menu key, highlight GPS (or the satellite icon) and press the OK key. (If you do not find it in the first
page of Menu items, select MORE to expose more menu entries). From the GPS menu, se lect Privacy, and pres s
the OKkey, or the Option key labeled “Select”. In the Priv acy menu, scroll down until Unrestricted or By
Permission is highlighted, and press the OK key , or the Option key labele d “Selec t”. Then, press BACK twice to
return to the main screen. “Unrestricted” means that a ny application can access GPS data, and “By Permission ”
means that only those applications you allow to do so can acce ss GPS data. We recomm end setting the cont rol to
By Permission.
Second, if you set the Privacy control to By Permission, you have to gra nt the TeleNav applicatio n access to the
GPS data. This activity only occurs the first time you use TeleNav after changing the privacy setting to By
Permission.
1. To do this press the Menu key and then select Java Apps, and press the OK key or the Option key that
reads “Select”..
2. Once in the Java Apps menu highlight TeleNav 3.7 and press the OK key, or the Option key that reads
“Run”.
3. Because the phone has not tested the Privacy Settings for TeleNav before, it will challenge this action, and
ask if you want to grant permission. You should press GRANT. Then, it will ask you to chose from three
options, highlight ALWAYS, and press the OK key.
4. TeleNav will then auto-resume so that the handset system can present its request for Auto Invocation
permissions.
Future invocations of the TeleNav application only requi re you to press the Menu key, select Java Apps, highl ight
TeleNav, and press the OKkey. You may wi sh to use the Personali ze feature of your phone to promote TeleNav
to one of the option keys as described in Section 9.
Auto Invocation Permissions
As explained above, TeleNav resumes after you de al with the GPS pri vacy issues, and will then ask you about
Auto Invocation permission. This feature allows TeleNav’s servers to awak en TeleNav even though it is turned off
so that it can report your location to a requestor t o whom you have granted location a ccess. If you want thi s
capability to work, you should GRANT this permission ALWAYS.
6. Using TeleNa v
Launching the Application
To launch TeleNav on your phone: press the Menu key, scroll until Java Apps (or the Java Apps icon) is
highlighted, and press the OK key or the Option key that reads “Select”. In the Java Apps menu, highlight
TeleNav (or the TeleNav icon), and pre ss the OK key or the Option key that reads “Run”. From this point on in
this guide, key presses refer to the Option Keys below the scre en labels bea ring the key functional names.
After starting TeleNav, the banner screen will appear for a few seconds. The first time TeleNav is used, the next
screens will explain what it is, and how to get signed u p for TeleNav service.
During first use, you must agree to the TeleNav software license and terms of use by pressing YES.
NOTE: If after you press OK, the TeleNav application indicates that it
cannot reach the TeleNav servers, the most
likely reason is that your Boost Mobile Data Access/Total Connect packet data service plan is not yet active. If the
application reaches the TeleNav servers, the server will cause your phone t o store the account inf ormation so that
you will not need to enter it again.
NOTE: If your TeleNav account is expired, you will be notified at this point, and will be directed to go to
www.telenav.net to extend your service agreement. You wil l not be able to progress b eyond this point until y our
account is returned to current status. You may al so see an impo rtant message from Tele Nav regarding up grades,
scheduled downtime, pending account expiration, et c.
Initial Content Loading
During your first time use of TeleNav subscription servic es, it will be necessary for
the handset to obtain the audible and graphical conte nt needed to build the
displays and produce the audible messages you wil l hear. The follo wing Alert
screen will advise you this is about to take place.
Press Done to start the content download and installation process.
From time to time, TeleNav may update this content, and will advise you
accordingly.

subscription. If you select GPS Tools from the main menu, you will be taken to
the GPS Tools submenu. You can make a choice by highlighting th e item, and
pressing OK. Otherwise, press BACK to return to the main menu.
Compass
If you choose Compass, you will see a display similar to a nautical compass, but
more correctly it actually displays course over gr ound, the direction you a re traveling
if you are moving. The screen also provides current latitude, longit ude, and speed.
Using the main menu Preferences, you can select the f ormat of the speed as mi les
per hour or kilometers per hour. Press BACK to return to the GPS basic submenu.
If no GPS data is available, “No GPS” appears inste ad of latitude and long itude.
Otherwise, a GPS satellite count indicator occupies the area below t he speed value.
Add three (3) to the number of bars shown to determine the number of satellites
being tracked by the GPS receiver. When the indicator shows that 7 satellites are
being tracked (which is good), the receiver may actually be tracki ng even more
(which is even better).
Marking a Waypoint. The left MARK Option Key allows you to mark a waypoi nt (as described bel ow) dire ctly from
the Compass view.
2
Color variations in the screen shots are due to the different emulators used.
This menu option (also available from Compass view) allo ws you to mark and la bel
your current location for future reference. If you choose Mark waypoint, there will
be brief activity to determine the GPS position, and then you will need to enter a
label of at least 3 characters length, or you can acce pt the default label based on the
current date.
View waypoint
Selecting Vie w way poi nt allows you to see the spatial relati onship of a selecte d waypoint rel ative to your current
location. If you have not marked any waypoints, you will simply get a m essage “No waypoints” and you should
press OK to return to the submenu. Otherwise, you will see a list of waypoint labels to pick f rom. After you pick
one, you will see the waypoint’s latitude and longitude. The next displa y teaches you the key functions that all ow
you to manipulate the following screen that shows you th e relationsh ip of your current position to the waypoint. The
Smiley Face is your location, and the other end of the vector is the waypoint icon. The vie w is North oriented, and
the approximate distance to the waypoint is shown, along with your current speed an d the GPS signal qu ality
indicator.
In the last display above, the waypoint is southwest of your current lo cation. To see
its position relative to your current direction of travel (provided y ou are moving at
least 5 MPH), press NAV to produce the view to the right.
This example view shows that you are travelin g toward th e northeast, and the
selected waypoint (indicated by the green circle) is almo st directly behind you i n the
southwest direction. The display also shows your spee d, and the dist ance to the
waypoint. The Navigate view updates as you move. Press Vie w to return to the
prior screen. Press BACK to return to the submenu.
If you are a subscriber, you will get the map location menu shown to the right.
If you choose Here (your current location), there will be brief activity while TeleNav
employs GPS to determine your location, followed by a tran saction with the
TeleNav server to retrieve the data needed to draw the map.
If you choose Enter address, you will be presented with a screen labeled Map location that allows you to enter a new address, refresh the list, o r pick a recently
used address from the list. Address entry is described in a later section of this
guide. After you have entered an address and the TeleNav server validates it, the
TeleNav server prepares the data needed for your phone to draw the map.
If you choose Waypoints, you will be provided with a list of way points you have previously marked, if there are any.
You select the one you want, and the coordinate s are sent to the Tele Nav server to that it can prep are the data
needed for your phone to draw the map.
Map View
Before the map is drawn, a helper screen is shown that d escribes how to move (p an) the map, a nd how to zoom in
and out. The current zoom level is shown as a fraction i n the upper rig ht corner of the map (shown as 4/ 9 in the
figure below). Here are the key functions –
• 4-way navigation key – moves the m ap up and down, and left and rig ht (panning)
• 4 key – zooms in (this key is also the letter “I’, as in “In ”)
• 6 key – zooms out (thi s key is also the letter “O’, a s in “Out”)
• The 2, 5, and 8 keys ra pidly change the zoom level (the range is 1 through 9). To rapidly go bet ween
levels, press 2, 5, or 8, and then one key press of 4 or 6 will take you exactly to the le vel you desire. For
example, to go to level 3 from level 7, press 2 and then 6 (Out).
The map is always oriented with North t owards the top. Every time you move (pan)
or zoom, there will be brief server activity to fetch the updated map depicted by
animation in the upper right corner of the map replacing t he zoom level indicator.
Give TeleNav 15 seconds to co mplete your request for a change.
You can press MARK to create a new waypoint based on the current position of the
map cursor. You can change the zoom level, and m ove the map aro und using the
4-way key prior to pushing the MARK Option Key.

This feature is not available on the i285 handset owing to the small size of its screen.
The Friend Finder allows you to share your locati on, and ask your f riends for th eir
locations. You can:
a) Request the location of another TeleNav sub scriber (who may or m ay not
agree to send it to you).
b) Ask the TeleNav server to convert the latitude and longitude y ou see on the
Compass view to a more conventional approximate street address.
c) Send your location to someone else via e-mail or the short messaging
service (SMS). This transmission may also be within the TeleNav service
allowing the recipient to drive to the sent address.
d) Post your location to the TeleNav servers so that someone el se can go to
the TeleNav website to see where you are located.
e) Edit the list of friends you wish to locate.
f) BlockRequests for your location.
g) Refresh Requests to pull in any location re quests that occurred while
TeleNav was not running.
h) Review the Requests History of TeleNav’s r esponse t o location requests
from others.
i) See some Helpful information about these services.
Find Friend(s)
You can find “friends” who are also TeleNav subscribers, and have been listed in your local Friends list. After
selecting Find Friend, a coaching screen i s presented. To select friends, highli ght their names, a nd press the OK key. Each time you press the OK key, the selection checkmark to the left of the name will change state. Use the
up/down Navigation key to scroll through the frien ds list. When done selecting a si ngle or group of frie nds, press
FIND. After you press FIND, a timer screen appears allowing for up to 120 seconds for the request to be honored,
denied, or ignored. If your friends reply promptly, the transaction typically take s less than a minute. If they are not
responding, the transaction may take 2 minute s.
When a TeleNav subscriber attempts to de termine the lo cation of anothe r subscriber using the Fi nd Friend feature,
the recipient behavior depends upon whether o r not the reci pient has TeleNav, an d if he has Tel eNav whic h
version he has. This issue is resolved by the TeleNav se rvers’ knowledge of the inst alled product ty pe. There is
brief transaction activity before one of the following will appear, unless the recipient has TeleNav 3.7 in which case
there is no qualifying message.
4
TeleNav 2.2 TeleNav 2.1 and 2.0 Expired TeleNav No TeleNav
A TeleNav 2.2 recipient may either DENY or GRANT the request. If the request is granted, the requestor will
receive a reply. Similarly, a TeleNav 3.7 user may selectively Grant Always, Grant Once, or Deny a location
request while the application is run ning. This sele ction is recorded within an access co ntrol list that is part of the
Friends List described below. In addition, TeleNav can also be set to blo ck all location req uests as discussed
below.
Since TeleNav 3.7 registers itself with the handset’s push registry, location requests sent via UDP/IP can awaken it
to process the request. If the local access control settings for the requesting party were previously set to Grant
Always, TeleNav 3.7 awakens, gets a location fix, sends it to the request or, and then termi nates. If the access
control status is unknown or Grant Once, the awakened TeleNav 3.7 will wait for the user to select an access
control list option for 90 seconds, and then terminate itself. If the user allows the location request, a GPS fix will be
taken and sent to the requestor. If the user interacts with TeleNav in any fashion, the access co ntrol list selection i s
sent to the TeleNav servers. If the requestor was previously denied or all requestors are blocked, the T eleNav
server does not bother to interrogate the hand set.
The access control list for a TeleNav 3.7 account can be managed by logging into th e TeleNav.net we bsite.
When the TeleNav server has accumulate d the responses, or lack the reof, from all reque sted TeleNav accou nts, it
sends a status report back to the requestor This status report includes: a) the name of the requested party, b) the
type of response (GPS, cell site, none), and c) the time of the response. The user can then highlight a response to
get more details such as: a) the latitude and longitu de, b) the approximate street addr ess, and c) the relative
temporal age of the location fix of the located party.
Where Am I
Invoking this feature lets you know your approximate street address and th e latitude
and longitude. The street address may be a numbered approximate address, the
names of the nearest crossing streets, or just the name of the street if it is not
numbered.
4
The content of these server-generated messages may change at Televigation’s discretion.
You can send your location to: a) a phon e number via S MS provided you kn ow the
wireless carrier, b) an e-mail address, or c) a friend from the friends list. A few of the
most recently used recipient addresses are retained fo r easy reference. The format
of the location message is described below under
Message Format.
To an E-mail - If you choose to send to an e-mail address, you can pick a domain name from one of the major
domains like AOL or MSN, but otherwise, you should sel ect “Enter e-m ail in full”. After you make a domain choice,
you enter only that part of the e-mail that precedes the “@” symbol when aske d to provide the e-m ail account
name. If the recipient’s domain name is not in the list, you will need to enter the complete e-mail address. To
change between alpha, numeric, a nd symbol inp ut modes, pre ss the Menu key, make a mode sel ection, and then
key in the characters. You may have to change mod es several times to han dle numbers, letters, special
characters, and punctuation symbols.
To a Phone – If you choose to use SMS to send your location, first you must select the recipient’ s wireless carrier
from a list. Then you provide the phone number. Not e that the first carrie r listed is TeleNav! If you se nd your
location to a TeleNav subscriber, the receiving subscriber can use the address you send by saving it as a labeled
waypoint.
To a Friend – If you choose to send your location to a friend who is also a Tel eNav subscriber, you simply sel ect
the name of the friend from the local friends list, and pre ss OK.
After you select a routing method for the location report, TeleNav attempts to determine your GPS location for
about 40 seconds. If this fails due to weak GPS sign al strength, Tele Nav will attempt to use cell site refe rence
information to determine your approximate location.
Transmission Confirmation – After the address has been input and you press OK, a message stating, “TeleNav
sent your GPS (cell cite) location to <address>. Thanks!”, will appear. Here <address> is either an e-mail or an
SMS address; or a friend’s name. Note that thi s confirmation does not imply that t he recipient ha s received the
message.
Message Format – The messages sent via SMS or e-mail have the same content:
Here, <name> is the first name of the TeleNav accou nt holder (if available ), and <m_address> i s his phone
number. The <p_address> is the approximate a ddress of the se nder determine d by looking up the street address
closest to the latitude and longitude produced by the [GPS receiver] or using [Cell site] information. The latitude
and longitude are the values produced by the [GPS receiver] o r using [Cell site] info rmation.
This feature allows you to send your current GPS locati on to the TeleNav.net
website so that another person can use th e website to determine wh ere you are.
After you select this feature, you key in a one-time use, 4 digit access control PIN.
After you enter the PIN and press OK, you will see the server confirmation that
includes the street address you’re near.
You tell your assisting party to go to
www.telenav.net/sos on the Internet, and enter
your Boost Mobile mobile phone number and th e PIN you have just created. T hey will
see the information presented on the right.
Note: Your prior location is overwritten each time you use this function.
Note: The graphic on the right is vertically extended to show the screen conte nt.

TeleNav only looks for mobile numbers in the Contacts list. If there are none, an advisory screen is presen ted.
The Update Friend feature allows the user to employ the editor for correcting the spelling of the friend’s name, or
updating his phone number. Delete Friend presents the local li st of friends so they can be selectively deleted.
Locator Help
Invoking the Help screen will provide a brief description of the services described ab ove. To see the whole
description, use the 4-way Navigation Key up and do wn keys.
GPS Navigation
The GPS Navigation feature allows to get real-time navigation gui dance from you r
current GPS location (origin) to a destination address you sele ct from the list of
existing destination addresses on your handset, or a newly input addr ess. You can
also use this feature to get Driving Directions from a different origin to a sele cted
destination.
You pick New Address to enter a new destin ation (or origin if you are using the
Driving Directions feature). The options for address entry are a) voice call, b)
entering a city/state and the remainder of the addre ss from the key pad, c) enteri ng a
Zip code and the remainder of the address from the keypad, d) selecti ng an airport
by its 3-letter code or location, e) or using the Bi z Finder to loo k up an address. Thi s
is described more completely in a later section of this guide.
If you have defined your home or work address, they will be shown p refixed with “H: ” and “W:” respectively. Log
into the TeleNav.net website to set or change these add resses, or use t he Voice Address Input system as
discussed later in this guide. Below your home and work addresses i s a list of the (up to) 10 most rece ntly entered
or used addresses.
Use Refresh List to get addresses entere d telephonically or via th e TeleNav.net website. Only the we bsite can be
used to remove addresses from this list. Newer addresses replace older addresses durin g normal use.
You can also use a previously marked Waypoint as a destination address.
After you input or select your destination address, you will
see an address confirmation screen showing the
destination address and routing type that allows you to
BACK up if you picked the wrong address.
The CHANGE option allows you to use a different routing
type than is specified in the Preferences. If you do not
want to change the routing type, simply wait for the time r
to finish, or press the OK key.
After you select or enter a destination address, TeleNav attempts to determine your location using the GPS
receiver. During the brief period of GPS acquisition, you can press the lower left NONGPS Option Key to enter the
Driving Directions submode. After you press NONGPS, you enter the Origin address for the Driving Directi ons
using the same options as were available t o you while en tering or picki ng the destinati on address.
GPS Origin Refinement
If are using GPS Navigation and you are in a parking lot or similar area whe re your
location does not exactly map to a specific street, you may see a scree n that says:
If you are not on the suggested street, press CHNGE and pick the street you are on
I found you on -
Cooper Drive
< 5 secs >
from the displayed list. Otherwise, press OK, or j ust wait for the timer to count down.
OK CHNGE
NOTE: If you are not sure of the street you’re on, sim ply select the first street i n the list, and start driving. Te leNav
will revise its estimate of your location, and provide you with a new route if needed.
GPS Guidance
Within a few seconds, TeleNav will contact the TeleNav server, obtain an optimal rout e to your destination, and
display the first instruction telling you how to start your trip from your current location.
NOTE: Unless you are moving, TeleNav will not be aware of your direction of travel. If this is the case, the first few
guidance instructions may be incorrect. However, once you start moving, TeleNav will learn your direction of travel
and provide a corrected set of guidance instructio ns.
Next you will see the first of the guidance displays that wil l direct you to your desti nation. These di splays are
described below under Guidan ce Displays.
Audible Messages
TeleNav delivers one or two audible guidance me ssages as you appr oach a turn or junctio n. The preparatory
message will be heard no less than 30 seconds before you reach the turn, and the action message will be heard no
less than 10 seconds before you reach the turn. The prepa ratory message may n ot be heard if the distan ce to go
only allows time for the action message. The lead-time for these message s is increased proportio nally to your
driving speed to allow more time for changi ng lanes on freeway s than on surface streets. Visit the TeleNav web site
to turn audible street names on or off.
What’s Next
If you wish to hear the action message for the current route segme nt without waitin g, simply press the G reen Send Key. We call this the “what’s next” feature.
Miss a turn?
Whenever you miss a turn, turn the wrong way, tu rn too early or too l ate, or otherwis e get off the planned ro ute to
your destination, TeleNav will automatically create a n ew route to your desired destinat ion, audibly an nounce, “New
Route”, and give you a new set of instructions. If you reali ze you have gotten off the route, ju st keeping go ing.
TeleNav will detect your “departure” and calculate a ne w route to get you back on track.
Please note that it takes about 15 seconds for TeleNav t o update your ro ute. If during this process you also make
adjustments, TeleNav will probably have to conta ct its servers fo r another new route. Rero uting uses su bstantial
network bandwidth, so it is advisable for you to try to stay on the route. Since TeleNav GPS Nav igation requires
the Boost Mobile network, if you are off route and outside of Boost Mobile coverage, y ou must return to Boo st
Mobile coverage for GPS Navigation to work again. In the mean time, press BACK to suspend its o peration.
Biz Finder
If you select Biz finder, the first thing you must do is to help TeleNav determine where you want to look fo r the
business or point of interest. Once you have picked a point or an area, you can search topically by Category
name, or by entering the first few letters of the Business Name.
Search Point
You can search around where you are (Here), around a n address you recently used
or entered (a recent stop), within a named city or ZIP code, around an airport, or
around a waypoint you previously marked. You can also ente r a new addre ss, and
search around it.
Selecting Here causes the GPS receiver to determine your current location as the
search point.
If you select A recent stop, you will get a list of recently used addresses, but may
need to use Refresh list to update the list with addresses recently ent ered using the
Voice Address Input System or the TeleNav web site. Once the list i s updated, simply
highlight the address you want, and press OK.
If you select to search Within a city by name, you can either use one of the citie s
you have used previously, or enter a new one. The state an d city name entry
process is described below under Key pad Addre ss Entry , but the entry process
ends before collecting the street name and number.
Search point
Here
A recent stop
Within a city
Within a ZIP
New Address
Airport
Waypoint
OK BACK
If you select to search an area Within a ZIP code, you just enter the 5 digits of the
code, and press OK.
Hint – Entering a ZIP code is quicker than entering a new state and city name.
If you select to search around a New Address, you enter either the ZIP code, or
the state abbreviation and city name; and then the street address (street name and
number, or street name and crossing st reet name). Se e Keypad Addr ess Entry
below for the details.
If you select to search around an Airport, you enter the 3-letter airport code, th e first
three letters of the city or market name where the airport is locate d, or the first three
letters of the airport’s given name. For example, t o find John F. Kennedy
International Airport, you can enter “JFK”, the airport code; “NEW”, the first three
letters of New York City, the market it serves; or “KEN”, the prefix of its given name.
After you have entered your search key, press OK. If you enter the prefix of a city
name, you may find multiple matches. For example, enterin g “NEW” will prod uce a
list of airports in New York City, Newark, New Orleans, etc. Similarly, if you enter
“DUL” in the name field, you will be able to locate Dulles International Airport outside
of Washington, DC.
If you choose to search around a Waypoint, you will see a list of the named waypoints you have marked to record
location. Highlight the one you want, and press OK.
After you have specified the search point or area, you are offered the choice to search the Categories that TeleNav
uses to group businesses, or using the first few letters of the Business name.
Category Search
If you select categories, TeleNav will contact its servers to get the cu rrent category list,
updating it if necessary. The category list spans several displ ayed pages. To mov e
to the next page, find the MORE entry, and press OK.
Some categories, particularly Restaurants, will have many subcategories t hat are
displayed similarly, and will require you to select MORE and press OK to continue
through the subcategory list. The list of categorie s and subcateg ories may chang e as
TeleNav updates the directory. After you have drilled down through the category tree,
you will be presented a list of matching business names.
Whenever you are a few pages into a list li ke the above scree n shows, pre ssing
BACK will allow you to go back to the preceding page.
However, when you have reached a certain depth in the
category tree, using BACK becomes laborious, so a
MENU is provided to allow you to go One Step Back,
change your search strategy (Biz Categori es or Biz
Name), search elsewhere (Chg Search Pt), or return to
TeleNav Home. Note that when this menu is display ed,
BACK simply returns you to where you were when you
pressed MENU, and OK commits the action you want to
take.
If you select the Business name search method, you will need to enter the first few
letters of the business name. After you press OK, you will be presented a list of
matching business names.
Picking a Business
After you have selected a specific lowest level subcategory, or entered part of a
business name, you will be presented with a list of businesses that are near the
search point, or within the search area you specified. For searche s conducted around
a point, the mileage (as the crow flies) from the point to the busi ness is includ ed. For
area searches, no mileage is shown.
After you highlight and pick a specific business, you will see a screen that shows: a)
the name of the business, b) the street address, and c) the phone numb er.
The OPTIONs are: 1) drive to the address, 2) sav e the business a ddress for late r, 3)
obtain a map around the business location, or 4) call it using your B oost Mobile
phone (requires a calling plan). If you Save for later, the ad dress is sent to the
TeleNav servers so that it will appear in the recent addresses list, but first you will
need to use the Refresh list feature.
NOTE: If you enter Biz Finder from another function such a s GPS Navigation, or
Maps, the OPTION key shown above is replaced with OK allowing you to employ
the business address for the function you are using. So, i f you need to use Biz
Finder to make a call, enter it directly from the TeleNav menu.

and customer service phone number. Distance Units chang es apply across the entire
TeleNav application.
There are two Address Input phone numbers to choose from under Voice Numb er (#). In some case s, calls
placed to the 877 number do not carry your Caller ID. When t his happens yo u will be aske d to enter your Boo st
Mobile phone number followed by pressi ng the “#” key, and then enter your TeleNav PIN followed by pre ssing the
“#” key so that TeleNav can assign the address yo u dictate to your account. If the automated attendant asks for
account number in the geographical area where you most frequently use Tel eNav, you should try the 40 8 number.
Ease of using the Voice Address Input system is proba bly a more important consideration t han the minor chan ge in
your Boost Mobile billing.
You can set preferences for other TeleNav features using the TeleNav website as described below.
Address Entry
Addresses can be entered several different way s:
1. Call the Voice Address Input System and dictate the address. This can be done before launchi ng the
TeleNav Java application, or from within the TeleNav appli cation.
2. Use the TeleNav website.
3. Type in the address in the address fields in the Java application on your phone using the key pad
4. Transfer an address from the Biz finder Save for later feature as explained above, or
5. Use a marked Waypoint as an address (provided that it is close enough to street o r road to have a valid
address.)
After you use method 1 or 2, be sure to use the Refresh list feature to upd ate the list of addre sses appeari ng on
TeleNav on your phone.
Voice Address Input
Before starting TeleNav, call the Voice Address Input System at 408-523-1429 or 877-886-9762, and dictate your
address as prompted. Below is a sample of what you will hear an d say:
TeleNav prompt> Welcome to TeleNav! Powered by Televigation. Say the city and state you want like San
Francisco, California.
Your response> Arlington, Texas
TeleNav prompt> I heard Arlington, Texas. To change this say GO BACK. Say the street you want like WILSON
AVENUE, or say Highway and the route number like Highwa y 405.
Your response> Oak Street
TeleNav prompt> I heard Oak Street. To change this say GO BACK. Say the street number or say INTERSECTION
to name a cross street.
Your response> 1620
TeleNav prompt> I heard 1620. To change this say GO BACK.
<pause>
TeleNav prompt> Address entered. Please launch Tele Nav on your phone
<call is terminated>
The Voice Address Input System may ask you for acco unt number and PIN if calle r ID is not worki ng. Simply
dictate the numbers as prompted, or key in your Boost Mobile pho ne number follo wed by pressing “# ”, and your
TeleNav PIN followed by pressing “#. If this happens, consider using Preferences, Voice Number to change to
the other dialed number.
The recognition system may reply back wit h an incorrectl y recognized i nput. When this happens, simply say, “Go Back”, and repeat the data entry. The voi ce system ma y advise you that a street number i s out of range and
provide the proper range of numbers for you to use. Provide a number that is within the range or nearest the en d of
the range that you are sure is valid. If you say Intersecti on and then p rovide a crossi ng street name, the voic e
system may advise you that the streets you provided do not actually cross and allow you to change either street
name, or both street names. Select the name you want to change by saying it, a nd then provide t he correct name.
You can also say my Home or my Work to program the se addresses for u se on the handset. If yo u want to
change one of these addresses, say my Home or my Work, wait for th e current address to be repeated back to
you, and then say Update. You can also say Airport, and then give the n ame of the airport, it s location city o r its
market city name.
After the Voice Address Input System has completed its dialog with yo u, it will advise you to launch the TeleNav
application, and then it will hang up. If TeleNav is runn ing, you should press MENU, RUNJava Ap ps, press
RESUME, and choose the Refresh list option when you see the list of addresse s so that recently dictated
addresses will appear in the list.
Web address entry
Go to the TeleNav website, and log in using your ac count number and PIN. Then select I have TeleNav and
Preplan my trip. Type in the address you want to go to and cli ck on the submit lin k. The address will be validate d
and appear in the list of addresses furt her down the web page that wil l appear in your phone’s Tel eNav address li st
the next time you use TeleNav and select Refresh list.
To enter a new address you need to first select New address. Next you can select
one of the recently entered cities, or an airport; and you ca n also enter the new
address using a City/State combination, or a ZIP code followed by entering the
numbered street address or the crossing street names.
Voice Call
If you select Voice call, your phone will go into voice call mode with the Voice Address Input System number
displayed on the screen. Press the green button to dial t he number, and di ctate your address as describe d above.
When you are done with the call, press BACK, the Menu key, highlight Java Apps, press OK, hig hlight
Suspended Apps, press the OK key, highlight TeleNav 3, and press the OK key again. At this point, TeleNav will
resume, and automatically Refresh list so that the called in address appears o n your phone. Highli ght the newly
entered address, and press OK.
New City/State
If you select New city/state, you will be taken to the State entry page. Here you
first enter the US Postal Service state abbreviation e.g., “CA” f or California. First,
you will have to press Menu, highlight Alpha mode, and press Select because it is
hard to enter USPS prefixes in Word mode.
Only the first three (or more) characters are needed to e nter the city name. Fo r
example if you were trying to enter “Sunnyvale” a s the destination city, you would
enter sun using Alpha mode. Using Word mode will result in run if you press 786.
On the other hand, if you wanted “Santa Clara”, Word mode d oes produce santa if
you press 72682.
Hint: Use the “*←” key at the lower left co rner of the keypad to ba ckspace and remo ve incorrectly entered lett ers.
Also note that some keys are marked with alternative characters t hat they will produce after several key presses.
Pressing the 1 key in alpha or Word mode produce s a spectrum of pun ctuation, most of which i s not needed for
address input.
After you enter a city prefix, you will be presented a list of city names to choose from, unless there is only one
unique match. If there are too many matching names, you m ay be asked to enter m ore letters. Highlight the city
name you are looking for using the up/down 4-way Navigation K ey, and press the OK key. After you pick a name
from the list, or if the name is uniquely matched, you are taken to Street Name Input, se e below.
You enter three or more letters or numbers in the de stination street nam e, or move
down to the highway entry field using the 4-way Navigation Key a nd enter the
numbers of the route number. For street name s, you may have to cha nge the input
mode from Word to Alpha or Numeric mode by pressing Menu, a nd making a
Selection. For example to enter “223rd Street”, be cause it is a street nam e and not
a highway number, you will use the upper field, pre ss Menu, select Numeric mode,
enter 223, press Menu again, select Alpha mode, and enter rd before pressing OK.
As in the city name case above, after you enter part of the street name, you will see: a) the street name list, b) an
advisory that too many matches were found and you should enter m ore letters, or c) an advi sory that no mat ching
name was found.
Next you will be asked to enter either the address number or intersecting street name. Use the 4-way Navigation
Key to select between address number and intersecting street name input ro ws.
To enter an intersecting street, navigate down; enter t he first few characters of the intersecting street name. For
streets that are numbers, use the number abb reviation input metho d described abov e. When you h ave input the
name or number, press OK.
If you enter a cross street name prefix, you may be presente d with a list of street names to choose from. Highlight
the one you want, and press OK.
If you are entering a highway number, use the bottom field, and enter only the n umeric part with out any alphab etic
prefixes. For example, to enter US-99, simply type in 99.
Address validation
Once you have entered the street address or selected the crossing street name,
TeleNav will check to see if the address you entered can be found. This checking
makes sure that: a) the address (door) number you entered is within the range of
assigned numbers for the named street and b) when crossing street names are
provided, the streets do actually cross. If eithe r conditi on is fal se, or the addres s is
too new to be found in the mapping database, the server will send a message to
your phone requesting you to correct the provided inform ation. For exampl e:
Using an Airport as an address
Simply highlight Airport, and press OK. The label field at the top of the next
display changes depending on the context (destinati on or origin ) you are using.
There are two input fields, one for the airport code, such as IAD f or Dulles
International; and one for the airport name, location city or market city prefix.
If you enter “NEW” in the name/city prefix field, the server will produce a list of
airports in NEW York City; NEWark, NJ; NEW Orleans; etc. You simply hig hlight
the one you want, and press OK.
To enter a ZIP code, select New ZIP, enter a valid ZIP code, and press OK. Once
you’ve entered a valid zip code, the TeleNav server s will find the matching city a nd
state name for the Zip code, and then you will be asked to ent er the street name.
Using Biz finder to find an address
See the above section regarding the Bi z finder feat ure for more detailed informati on. To use Biz finder to set an
address: a) specify the search point or area first, b) decide whether you want to search by Category or Business
Name, c) navigate through the categori es if you selected Category se arch until you have re ached the list of
matching businesses, d) select a spe cific busine ss, and e) pr ess OK.
Using a Waypoint as an address
If you choose to use a Waypoint as an address, you will be presented with a list of waypoints you have previously
marked and labeled as shown above unde r View Waypoints. Highlight the one you want, a nd press OK. At this
point, your phone will contact the TeleNav se rvers to convert t he latitude and l ongitude of the waypoint to an
approximate street address.
Guidance Instructions
The guidance instruction screens you will see have the following content, but will hav e different proportions than
those shown below. GPS navigation and Non-GPS directions screens have slightly different content as explained
below. When TeleNav is communicating with th e TeleNav server s, a network activit y indicator re places the GPS
indicator shown in the lower right corner of the screen.
When the turns you will need to make occur in rapi d
succession, a second upcoming turn type icon will
appear above the distance to the first turn. Thi s smaller
icon represents the type of turn following the turn
depicted by the larger icon.

Every few seconds, the total remaining dist ance field on t he left side of the scree n is
replaced with an estimate of the total time remaining.
Navigation guidance
If you will be traveling on the same roadway for a mile or more, the Upcoming and Current Street names will be the
name of the street you are on, and the turn type icon will be a vertical arrow. As you approach the turn, the
Upcoming Street name will change, and the icon will portray the actual type of turn you should make. As you
move, the distance to turn and the remaining distance will decrease. Visit the TeleNav website to alter this
behavior as described below under Personali zation.
Eventually, you will see the destination arrival screen. This screen will show you how far it is to your destination
and whether it is on the left or right side of the street or road.
For TeleNav to work, the GPS receiver must be tracking four or more satellites. When 3 or less are being tracked,
the satellite indicator will be blank. When four satellites are being tracked, one bar will appear. As more satellites
are tracked, more bars appear. If the indicator is blank, you should mo re to an area with a clearer vi ew of the sky.
When you arrive at your destination, press ME NU. The available options will allow you to go back to the TeleNav
menu. You can also press MENU and select a whole ro ute map.
Non-GPS mode or Driving Directions
Using a GPS-based origin for real-time GPS navigaiton, once all of the routing information is delivered to your
phone, you can press the PREVU key to switch to Non-GPS Driving Directions to PREVU the remainder of the
route. This PREVU key is not present if you enter the origin using a newly input or stored address.
Rocking the 4-way Navigation key to the right goes to the next page of directions, and rocking it to the left goes to
the previous page of directions. In this mode, the Direction of Travel indicator is replaced by an indicator reading,
“m/n”, showing that you are viewing page m of a total of n pages. When n and m are the same, you have scrolled
to the end of the route.
The GPS indicator is not relevant or shown when o perating in thi s mode.
Activity Messages
Whenever the TeleNav application on your phone need s server assi stance, it uses Boost Mobil e packet data
service. While it is using packet data servi ce, other servi ces such as DirectConn ect (walkie-tal kie), SMS 2-w ay
messaging, and conventional cellular will not be available. Typically this int erruption of other servi ces will last no
more than 20 seconds. When TeleNav is using packet data service to contact the TeleNav servers, it will present a
message like: a) Reading GPS…, b) Waiting …, c) Sending …, d) Receiving…, e) Logging i n…, f) Personalizing
…, g) Loading icons…, h) Loading audio, and i) Storing audio. You will also notice a small network activity indicator
in the upper right corner of the map displ ay after you press a key to pan or zoom t he map.
Taking an Incoming Call
When your phone receives an incoming call ring, it will ring, and d isplay a screen that allows you to take or ignore
the call. If you take the call, TeleNav will be operating but “suspended”. After the call, press the RED End/Home Key to end the call, and then press the MENU key. Highlight Java Apps, and pre ss the OK key. The pre sented
menu will include a “suspended apps” folder. Highlight this folder, and press the OK key. Then, highlight TeleNav
3, and press the OK key again to “awaken” TeleNav. If TeleNav ha s been susp ended for a whi le from GPS
Navigation, it may ask you to confirm that you are continuin g to the same destinati on.
You can also press the RED End/Home Key while TeleNav is running to force it to suspend. Use the step s
described immediately above to awaken Tele Nav.
7.Personalizing
We suggest placing TeleNav as the right softkey opti on on the main Boost Mobi le screen. This allows you t o a)
more rapidly start TeleNav when you need it, and b) rapid ly resume TeleNav afte r you have made a voice call to
dictate an address from within TeleNav. To perform t his personali zation, follow these steps –
1. Press the Menu key on your phone
2. Using the 4-way navigation key, highlight Settings, and then press the OK key.
3. From within the Settings menu, highlight Personalize, and again press the OK key.
4. Scroll down until Right Sftkey is highlighted, and press the OK key.6
5. Scroll
up until TeleNav is highlighted, and press the OK key again.
6. Then, press Back until you have returned to the Boost Mobile home screen.
NOTE: The default use for the right softkey is “Messa ges”, should you wish to change it back.
8. Error Conditions
Unable to reach server
If you see an activity screen for 45 seconds followed by a message that says, “Unab le to reach server”, and it is
your first attempt at using TeleNav, you should contact Boost Mobile customer care to resolve this issue. Most
likely, your Data Access/Total Connect packet data service is not provisioned correctly.
If you drive into an area where there is intermittent or no ability to connect to the Boost Mobile wireless network, or
there is a problem within the wire line network b etween Boost Mobile wi reless gat eways and the Tel eNav servers,
and this problem has persisted for 30 second s or more, you will get a message stating, “Unable to reach server”.
The TeleNav application on your phone will attem pt to reconnect wit hin 7 seconds.
TeleNav not available
If you get an advisory message that TeleNav is not available, you should EXIT the TeleNav application, and then
restart it. If the problem recurs, it may be due to a temporary TeleNav se rver outage.
GPS Access Restricted
If you get a message stating that TeleNav cannot access the GPS receiver data, you will need to change the
privacy setting. First, EXIT TeleNav, and then follow the directions provided ab ove in the GPS Privacy section.
GPS Signal Weak
If GPS signal reception is weak due to shadowing withi n the vehicle or due to bu ildings, trees, overpasses, etc.,
validation will fail, producing a screen that will advise y ou that the GPS signal is weak and you sh ould move to an
open area. It is suggested that you move to an area wit h a clear view of the sky, and then cli ck “RETRY ”. If you’re
still having problems you can still driving directions by pressing the NONGPS key while the GPS receiver is trying to
determine your current location as the origin point.
Low battery
The GPS will not start if the phone’s battery is very low. This is because the GPS receiver needs the phone battery
to be at least half charged. The phone should be cha rging using the GPS otherwise the phone battery depletes
very quickly. If you get a low battery warning, connect a charging cabl e as soon as possibl e.
9.Exiting TeleNa v
If at anytime you wish to exit TeleNav, press the BACK key until you reach the main TeleNav men u, and then
press EXIT. You will then be asked to confirm that you truly do want to exit TeleNav.

11.FAQ’s
My phone is not producing audible output duri ng GPS Navigation
The most common cause of this problem is that setting th e audio level to VibeA ll has defeated the phone spea ker.
To change this, with the phone cover closed, adju st the audio volume l ouder until the l evel is set at 4 or 5. Press
the MENU key and look for RING TONES. You may find it on the next screen after pressing MORE. Highlight
RING TONES, and press the OK key. The first line is the VibeA ll entry. Make sure it is set to OFF.
How do I increase or decrease the voice promp t volume and contr ol the backlighting?
The backlight and speaker volume levels can be cont rolled from withi n TeleNav. Just follo w the instru ctions abov e
under Preferences.
Why do I need the Boost Mobile packet data service?
The Data Access/Total Connect plans allow you t o access nation wide maps from t he TeleNav server for a ccurate
turn-by-turn directions using the data communicatio n features of your Jav a phone. These service s are different
from your cellular airtime, and not the same as Boost Mobile Web Online.
How long after I apply for the Boost Mobile packet data serv ice until I can use my TeleNav system?
Generally, it takes until the following business morning before Data Access/Total Connect is fully provisioned.
How much packet data have I used?
Your Boost Mobile phone tracks this usage. Press MENU, and then scroll down to MORE. After selecting MORE,
or if you do not find MORE, select CALL TIMERS. Then, select KBYTES RESET. The next display will show y ou
approximately how many kilobytes you have used. Divi de this number by 1000 to convert it to me gabytes, and
compare this with your Data Access/Total Connect plan limit. When you are finished looking, press DONE. If you
want your usage report to correlate with your Boost Mobile bill, press RESET once monthly on the day Boost
Mobile closes your billing cycle.
Does TeleNav use up my v oice plan minu tes?
TeleNav uses packet data to provide the navigation function. Using packet data does n ot use any of your voice
minutes. However, calling the Voice Address Input Syst em does u se about 70 seconds per addres s entered, and
this includes the Voice Call feature internal to the TeleNav applic ation.
How accurate is the GPS?
GPS accuracy can range from 20m to 100m, howev er most of the time the GPS is accurate to le ss than 50 mete rs.
Our external GPS receiver also uses WAAS technology to further reduce the error.
What is ideal GPS environment?
The GPS requires an open, clear view of the sky. Buildi ngs, covered pa rking areas, tunnel s and dense folia ge can
cause the GPS receiver to either be unabl e to locate itse lf (fix) or have extended initialization time (start-up fix).
If you are parked in a covered parking lot or near a tall building, it is recommended that you move away till you have
a clear view of the sky and then begin to use the T eleNav servi ce.
You may need to give the GPS a few minutes to find its location.
How do I know that the GPS has a signal?
The TeleNav application on your phone will ale rt you if the GPS does not have a valid signal. If this happen s, drive
to an area where there is a clear view of the sky so the GPS can fi nd itself. You can also invoke th e GPS
application by pressing MENU, highlight GPS or the satellite icon and pressing the OK key. Then, highlight
position, and REFRESH if necessary. If the screen sho ws SCANNING for m ore than 60 seco nds, you are
probably in a poor GPS reception area.
Why does the GPS not work near buildings an d other tall objects?
The GPS uses satellite signals from space to find out whe re it is. Therefore it needs a clear view of the sky. T all
buildings and other objects that block t he receiver’s view to the sky make it infeasible to det ermine your location.
Sometimes the satellites are not overhead but near the horizon; in these cases the GPS must have a clear view of
the horizon.
