Pocket PC Setup for Live Web Tracking

If you would like access to CoPilot’s Live Network on the Web so that your friends, family, and co-workers can message and track you from anywhere in the world, you’ll need to set up your Pocket PC for web tracking.

The setup for the web is simple. You (the driver) must first create a login account using the CoPilot Live Web login page. Once you have submitted a User Name and Password on the web, you then enter the same user name and password — once only — within the CoPilot application to complete the setup.

1.Go to the CoPilot Live Web login page at http://live.alk.com. Click Create a new account, and enter all the required information including a User Name and Password.

2.Open CoPilot on your Pocket PC. Tap the Tools menu > Live. Follow steps 1-

3.In the Login tab, enter a Screen Name that will identify you to the per- son on the other end for messaging and tracking.

4.Check Use Account Login, then

enter the same User Name and Password you used to create your account on the web (Step 1) and click Apply.

You are now set up for messaging and tracking on the web. Your screen name, user name, and/or password can be changed as many times as you like. However, you’ll need to change your user name or password on the Live Web page before changing them in CoPilot. This is not required for your screen name.
