Introduction

This documentation is an addendum to the TeleType GPS software manual. This document is
intended for use by TeleType GPS software customers who have purchased the TeleType GPS
SatelliteTracker device (part #1405). We will refer to this product as the “SatelliteTracker”.

The SatelliteTracker is based on the Inmarsat satellite communications constellation and includes
a specialized version of the TeleType GPS software to be used for base station tracking. The
SatelliteTracker allows you to automatically transmit the location of the vehicle in real-time,
anywhere in the world provided that the base station has Internet access. The TeleType GPS
program can locate the real-time position of a vehicle containing the device, display the vehicle’s
position on its built in maps, and even find the corresponding address for the vehicle's position.

Hardware Installation

Place the SatelliteTracker in the vehicle to be tracked. The 12v power cable can be plugged into
the cigarette lighter socket of the vehicle, but we recommend for more permanent installation that
you remove the cigarette adapter and hard wire the unit directly to the vehicle’s battery. Turn the
power on.

Software Installation

To monitor the position of vehicles you will need to install the TeleType GPS program onto a

Windows 95/98/NT/2000 computer having Internet access.

1) Insert the TeleType GPS CDROM into the CD drive of your desktop computer.

a) An automatic splash screen will appear.
b) Select Install Program.
c) Select PC (for install onto the desktop computer or laptop), PocketPC, or

Windows CE, as appropriate.

Note – The software can be installed to the PC and PDA simultaneously.

Note – The satellite tracking portion of the software is available on the PC only.

d) Follow the directions for installation as prompted by the installer. You can also

refer to the TeleType GPS User Manual that can be found online or in the Gps
folder on your hard drive.

Note – The software must be installed to Main Memory of the PDA to function
properly.

2) Install the desired TeleType GPS maps from the CD to your hard drive. This will install maps
to the desktop computer, but not to the PDA.

a) Re-insert CD or bring splash screen from behind.
b) Select the installation folder.
