Quick Start Installation

If your product shipped with a Quick Start storage card, just follow these simple steps to get started with CoPilot. Otherwise skip to the Install From CD section below.

(1)Ensure your Pocket PC is fully charged and powered on.

(2)Attach your GPS receiver to your Pocket PC.

(3)Insert the Quick Start storage card in your Pocket PC. The software and map data will install automatically. If they do not, then follow these

additional steps on your Pocket PC:

a.Tap the Start menu and select Programs/File Explorer.

b.In the My Device folder, select your storage card (normally called Storage Card, CF Card, or SD Card).

c.Select the 2577 folder and then tap AUTORUN. The software and map data will install without desktop/laptop synchronization.

d.Skip to Step 5 (Activate the software) on page v.

Install From CD

If your product did not ship with a Quick Start storage card, follow these instruc- tions to get started with CoPilot. Your desktop/laptop and Pocket PC should both be turned on. The cradle/cable for your mobile device must be connected to your desktop either through a USB or Serial port. Your Pocket PC should be connected to your desktop via ActiveSync.

If you plan to download CoPilot map data using a Storage Card Reader, it must be installed and connected to your desktop/laptop. You can also use a PCMCIA adapter for the storage card if you have a laptop.

(1)Insert the CoPilot Install Disk into your CD-ROM drive. When prompted to choose a language, select one from the list and click OK.

(2)After clicking Yes to accept the Licence Agreement, enter your Product Key Code from the cover of this Quick Start and click Next.

(3)Make sure Pocket PC Installation and Desktop Installation are checked on the installation menu. Click Next

(4)The installation will start with the text-to-speech software. Choose a Male or Female Voice (both are standard TTS file), or Pre-recorded Sound Files (WAV files, male voice) when prompted. The pre-

recorded option saves space on your Pocket PC, but provides less detailed driving instructions. Click Next.

(5)Choose an installation location on the Pocket PC. The default is the device memory (Yes). Recommended: To install to a storage card, click No and choose Storage card from the drop-down pick list.

(6)When CoPilot has been installed to your Pocket PC (this will take a few minutes), you will be prompted to begin the desktop/laptop installation. Click Next and follow the on-screen instructions.

(7)When the installation is complete, a CoPilot icon will appear on your desktop or laptop.

(8)See Step 5 (Activate the software) on page v.

4.Download map data

NOTE: CoPilot won’t open on your Pocket PC unless map data has been downloaded first.

(1)Choose a Storage Location:

1.Open the CoPilot application on your desktop/laptop. If the Data Download Wizard does not appear, click the Data Download Wizard icon in the sidebar on the left. Make sure your Pocket PC is synchronized.

2.Choose where you would like data stored on the Pocket PC. CoPilot will scan your computer to detect which options are available. If you choose an option other than the device memory, click the pick list that appears and select a storage card name or the drive letter of your storage card reader. Click Next.

NOTE: If data is stored on the device's memory and also on a Storage Card in the device, CoPilot will use the Storage Card by default. To have it use map data on device memory, you must remove the Storage Card.

(2) Select a Data Area:

Select City Radius to create a data region of a specified radius around a city of your choice:

1.In the City, Country, or Postal Code box, type a City, Country (e.g. bristol, uk) and press <Enter>.

2.Specify the Distance Around City to Download (e.g. 60) and press <Enter>. Click Next.

3.Your selected data region will be displayed. A window will appear showing how much space you have available on your selected destination (see Choose a Storage Location above) and how much memory this data region will take up. If necessary, adjust the radius to make sure your data region will fit on your selected destination. Click Next.
