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 PocketTracker
(part #1442). We will refer to this device as the “PocketTracker”. The PocketTracker allows you
to track the location of another PocketTracker user or allow your position to be tracked.
Currently the Pocket Tracker service is free with purchase of the hardware, but that is not
guaranteed after October 2002.

Software Installation

1. To monitor the position of a PocketTracker user or to have your position tracked, you will
need to install the TeleType GPS software onto a Windows 98/NT/2000/XP computer (which
we will refer to as the “desktop computer”) with internet access or a PDA running PocketPC
2000 or newer (which we will refer to as the “PDA”).

a) Insert the TeleType GPS CDROM into your CD drive.
b) An automatic splash screen will appear.
c) Select Install Program.
d) Select PC (for install onto the desktop computer) or PocketPC (for install onto

the PDA) when prompted.

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

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

2. Install the desired TeleType GPS maps from the CD to your hard drive.

a) Return to the splash screen.
b) Select the installation folder.
c) Select the state maps to install.
d) Click Install.

3. Activate the TeleType GPS program by double clicking the TeleType GPS program icon on
your desktop computer or PDA.

4. Determine whether the user to be tracked has a static or dynamic IP address

a) Dynamic IP – The Internet address of the PDA or computer is not always the

same. This is typically the case when connecting to the Internet over the phone line
or with CDPD (Cellular Digital Packet Data or Wireless IP) services. Dynamic IP
systems are used when the Internet Connection does not always have to be
available.

b) Static IP – The Internet address of the PDA or computer is always the same. Static

IP addresses are provided by some DSL and Cable Modem providers, and are
often used in business networks.

5. Setup the user to be tracked using the Pocket Tracker system

For Dynamically Assigned IP Addresses

a) Select Track, Pocket Track, Dynamic IP, and Setup.
b) Click ID.
c) Enter the User ID and Password provided when you purchased the Pocket Tracker

software.
d) Click OK.
e) Click Exit.
