Launching TeleNav To launch TeleNav on your handheld, highlight the TeleNav “turn ahead” icon on the BlackBerry home screen, and press the trackwheel. TeleNav’s icon After starting TeleNav, the banner screen will appear for a few seconds. The next screen describes the services TeleNav provides. The description is not shown again once the application is registered to use paid services.
Welcome Screen This screen describes the services that TeleNav offers. If the application is not registered, after the description of services, you will be asked if you have a TeleNav account and Nextel Total Connect packet data service. Call Nextel customer care at 800-639-6111 to order both, or order packet data from Nextel and: 1. Go to www.telenav.com using a PC-based Web browser to create a TeleNav account, or 2. Call 1-88-TeleNav-4 for TeleNav customer service.
Terms of Use Next you must agree to the TeleNav software license and Terms Of Use to use TeleNav. Registration The next screen will collect your TeleNav account number and the PIN you provided when registering for TeleNav services at www.telenav.com. Your account number MUST be the same as your Nextel phone number beginning with area code so that when you call the Voice Address Input System you will not need to type in the account number.
Content Loading Notice During your first use of TeleNav subscription services, the handset will download the audible and graphical content needed to build the displays and produce audible messages. The alert screen shown on the right advises you this will take place. From time to time, TeleNav may update audible or graphical content, and will advise you accordingly. NOTE: Do not interact with the BlackBerry 7100i while this download is underway. Wait for it to finish.
Favorites The Favorites list appears to be similar to the Recent Stops list when it is displayed. Favorite addresses are expressly marked to be saved, and should be labeled. When the 26 element capacity of the Favorites list is exceeded, the least recently used address in the list is replaced by the address being added, and the preceding order of the list is preserved. When Favorites are deleted, vacancies will appear in the list.
TIP: When the Address and City rows are highlighted, there is a trackwheel menu option that allows you to look up names using just a few letters in the prefix. If you are uncertain of how to spell a city or street name, use the look up feature. Calling in an Address Below is a sample of what you will hear and say when using the Voice Address Input method: TeleNav prompt> Welcome to TeleNav! Powered by TeleNav. Say the city and state you want like San Francisco, California.
Using an Airport as an address Click on Airport in the Address Selector. There are two input fields, one for the airport code, such as IAD for 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 highlight the one you want, and press the trackwheel to submit it.
After completing the search for the contact that matches the given criteria all of the matching results will be displayed. On the left side of the name is a “+” symbol that you can click with the trackwheel to expose either the home or work address, or both. Select the specific address you want, and press the trackwheel The address content is passed to the Address Input Form so that you can edit it when TeleNav cannot validate it as it was found in the Address Book.
5. Using TeleNav The TeleNav Menu The TeleNav Menu selections are a) Navigation and Directions, b) Business Finder, c) Maps, d) Tools, e) Preferences, and f) Help/About. You Exit TeleNav from this menu by pressing the ESCape button. You can return to TeleNav Home using the trackwheel menu from elsewhere within TeleNav. The footer of the menu page provides information regarding each selection as the focus is moved using the trackwheel.
Mark a waypoint This menu option allows you to mark and label 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 or accept the default label that is based on the current date. After the waypoint is saved, you will be returned to the TeleNav Tools menu.
When the list appears, move through the list with the trackwheel, and press SPACE to set the check boxes on the left. Then press the trackwheel to bring up the menu shown here. “Select/deselect” works just like the SPACE key. “Invert selection” will uncheck all checked items, and check all unchecked items.
Upon entering Navigation, the destination Address Selector form described above appears first. You select, find, or enter an address, and are taken to the destination address confirmation screen. On the confirmation screen, mark “Save To Favorites” using the SPACE key and the address will be saved in the Favorites list after it is validated. You can change the route type (fastest, shortest, etc.) using the SPACE key to toggle through the choices.
GPS navigation and Non-GPS directions screens have slightly different content as explained below. The large main turn type icon indicates which way and how aggressively you should turn when you reach the intersection.
When you arrive at your destination, press the trackwheel, and return to TeleNav home menu. Audible Messages TeleNav delivers audible guidance messages as you drive. An informational message will be heard shortly after making a turn, provided that there is time to deliver it and the preparatory message that follows. The preparatory message will be heard no less than 30 seconds before reaching a turn, and the action message will be heard no less than 10 seconds before reaching the turn.
After you have looked at the route, you can press the trackwheel to display a menu that allows you to return to GPS Nav. Since you are probably not on the route, TeleNav will have to obtain a GPS location fix to set the origin, and obtain a new route from that location to the established destination. The GPS quality indicator is not relevant or shown when operating in this mode.
Business Name Only Enter a few letters of the business name in the first row of the form, scroll down to highlight the next line that reads, “Any”, and press the trackwheel to start the search. In this context, “Any” means any business beginning with the name above. If the name is left blank, you will be asked to enter part of the business name prefix. In this example, “sta” was entered as part of the business name. Category Search Do not enter any part of the business name in the first row of the form.
Picking a Business If the search succeeds, you will be presented with a list of businesses that are near the search point, or within the search area you specified. For searches conducted around a point, the mileage (as the crow flies) from the point to the business is included. The last entry is the Next option – use ESCape to return to pages you have already seen. If the search fails, a pop-up will be presented showing that nothing was found, and you have the option of accepting an expanded area search.
Preferences If you select Personalize TeleNav, you can: • Set the displayed Distance units to either feet and miles or kilometers and meters. • Set the audible Language to English, Spanish, etc. • Set the Route type to fastest or shortest, or using or avoiding highways. • Turn Audible street names On and Off. • Turn Intersection maps On and Off. • Set the next Turn icon to appear immediately after making the prior turn, or not until about 2 minutes before the next turn.

Calendar and e-Mail Events When a scheduled calendar event occurs, or an e-mail message arrives while you are using TeleNav, a pop-up notification similar to that shown on the right will appear. You can interact with the Calendar or email event by Opening it, or you can Dismiss it.

Radio Signal Weak If the Nextel network signal is weak, move to an area where reception is better, and try the function that requires network access again. Low battery The GPS will not work if the handheld’s battery charge level is below about 15%. Starting with a freshly charged standard battery, we have used TeleNav for around 4 hours before it became necessary to connect the charging cable. If you get a low battery warning, connect a charging cable as soon as possible.
Favorites list is full You are trying to add another Favorite to a list that already contains 26, the maximum amount allowed. Use the TeleNav Tools to delete addresses from the Favorites list.

9. FAQ’s How do I increase or decrease the voice prompt volume and control the backlighting? The backlight and speaker volume levels can be controlled from within TeleNav’s Preferences. If the speaker volume is set to at least mid-range and you are still not receiving audio prompts verify that your handheld profile is not set to vibrate or quiet. To change your profile settings, highlight the Profiles icon that looks like a loudspeaker and press the Enter key.
Sometimes the satellites are not overhead but near the horizon; in these cases the GPS must have a clear view of the horizon. 10.
