PC*MILER|Mobile User’s Guide 1
Introduction
Overview
PC*MILER®|Mobile is a portable navigation system that provides step-by-step voice
guidance to your selected destination. This series of driving instructions are
delivered to your Global Positioning System (GPS)-enabled cell phone.
The PC*MILER|Mobile solution transforms GPS, data capable mobile phones into
in-vehicle personal navigation assistants that guide drivers to their next stop over
truck drivable streets and roads.
The PC*MILER|Mobile Web-based driver tracking system enables dispatchers to
send new delivery locations via their phones and to track any number of vehicles on a
map. The operation center can efficiently assign loads or jobs, respond to emergency
pickups, and inform customers of real-time arrival information.
PC*MILER|Mobile provides drivers with turn-by-turn spoken directions, and
delivers automatic re-routing almost instantly when a driver goes off route. Route
guidance instructions are provided as audible prompts and on-screen text and
graphics. Drivers will never have to look at a map again!
Drivers using PC*MILER|Mobile can employ two convenient ways to select a
destination. You can:
•Log onto the PC*MILER|Mobile Destination Center Web site at
http://www.pcmilermobile.com and enter a specific address or search for and
select a hotel, restaurant, truck stop, or other destination.
•Enter a destination address into PC*MILER|Mobile using the i88s/i58sr phone
keypad or select an existing address.
The PC*MILER|Mobile equipped GPS-enabled i88s/i58sr can be used just like any
other cell phone. The iDEN handset cannot transfer phone data and packet data at
the same time. When a network-enabled application is transmitting packet data, the
phone services will be blocked. Packet data service will incur charges to the account.
This document covers the options available when you select PC*MILER|Mobile on
the Java Applications screen and press the button under RUN. It also describes the
features available on the PC*MILER|Mobile Destination Center Web site.
PC*MILER|Mobile uses ALK Technologies’ proprietary
truck-specific digital map data, which includes:
•Comprehensive street-level coverage of the United
States and Canada
•13’6” height, 80,000 lbs. weight and 53’/102” trailer restrictions
•Over 100 million addresses

User Consent
Laws in some areas prohibit the use of a cellular phone when driving a motor vehicle.
It is the responsibility of each cellular phone user to be aware of and abide by any
and all local laws and ordinances, which may restrict the use of cellular phones. The
user must take the utmost care in using a cellular phone safely under all
circumstances.
Traffic laws and current traffic conditions must always be observed and take
precedence over the instructions issued by the navigation system. The user should be
aware of situations where current traffic conditions and the instructions from the
navigation system may be in conflict.
The use of the navigation system does not relieve the user of his/her responsibilities.
The user is ultimately responsible for the vehicle under his/her control and should be
aware of the surroundings at all times. For traffic safety reasons, it is recommended
that routes should be set-up in a stationary vehicle before starting a trip.
Privacy: Operation of the navigation system requires that the user’s position be sent
to a central server for use in preparing the route information. This information will
only be used to provide the navigation service and will not be shared with any third
parties. A user who wishes to keep their current location private should not use the
navigation system.
Motorola is not responsible for any financial loss, or other incidental or consequential
damage arising out of the use of, or inability to use, this product. This includes
damage to property and, to the extent permitted by law, damages for personal injury
and death.
If after reading these statements you decide not to accept these terms, you should not
use the PC*MILER|Mobile service.

PC*MILER|Mobile User’s Guide 9
Getting Started with
PC*MILER|Mobile
Installation
Before the PC*MILER|Mobile application can be run, there are two simple steps that
are required to initialize the application.
•Install Audio Clips
The PC*MILER|Mobile guidance system utilizes the Voice Notes file system
to store audio clips that are used during the guidance process to announce the
next instruction. The prerequisites are to have at least 80k of free data space
and to be in an area that has strong Nextel coverage. This will help keep the
installation time short and reduce the cost of data transfer.
If you do not install the audio clips, the PC*MILER|Mobile application will
“beep” when attempting to play the given audio selection. To install the
clips, select PCMILERi88Adm and run the AudioLoader. (See the Audio
Loader directions on page 11.)
•Provision the User
The PC*MILER|Mobile guidance system requires that you register with
a valid user ID and password. If you fail to register, the
PC*MILER|Mobile application will respond with an error message
indicating you are not a valid subscriber.
Setting the Java Option Key
You can change the names and actions of the phone’s two option keys (the buttons to
the right and left of the Menu button), the power up application, and the ordering of
items in the Menu.
To make PC*MILER|Mobile applications readily available when you power up your
phone, you should change the right option key to JAVA. This will make it easier to
start PC*MILER|Mobile and easier to return to PC*MILER|Mobile if a phone call,
message, or other interruption happens when running PC*MILER|Mobile.
From the Nextel screen, press the Menu button. Highlight Settings and press the
button under SELECT. On the Settings screen, scroll to Personalize and press the
button under SELECT. Highlight Keys and press the button under SELECT.
Highlight Right and repeatedly press the right arrow of the 4-way navigation key
until the setting displays Java Apps. Press the button under BACK and to return to
the Personalize screen for the next change.

10 PC*MILER|Mobile User’s Guide
If you will be using PC*MILER|Mobile often, you may wish to have the Java Apps
screen appear immediately when you power up so you can select PC*MILER|Mobile
with one key press.
From the Personalize screen, scroll to Power Up App and press the button under
SELECT. Repeatedly press the right arrow of the 4-way navigation key until the
setting shows Java Apps and then press the button under BACK to return to the
Personalize screen. Press the button under BACK and then the button under EXIT to
return to the Nextel screen.
GPS Privacy Settings
There are three GPS settings on the i88s/i58sr. They are Restricted, Unrestricted, or
By Permission.
To check the setting, from the Nextel screen press the Menu button. Scroll down and
select GPS. Then select Privacy. The current setting will be marked.
The recommended setting is By Permission. This setting triggers a question to the
user when an application first tries to obtain the GPS position information. You must
agree to allow the access for the application to proceed. When the phone displays a
message asking if you always want to grant permission, you can select YES or NO, in
which case the grant permission screen will always display.
The Unrestricted setting allows all applications to obtain the GPS position
information.
The Restricted setting prevents any application from obtaining the GPS position
information.
PC*MILER|Mobile Administration
If you highlight PCMILERi88Adm on the Java Applications
screen and press the button under SELECT,
PC*MILER|Mobile displays the Applications screen, where
you can download audio clips, provision the i88s/i58sr, or
remove audio clips in preparation for de-installing
PC*MILER|Mobile.
These utilities generally are used only for set up.

Setting Up the Device
Introduction
To effectively use PC*MILER|Mobile in your vehicle, you should:
•Change phone settings for best in-vehicle use before you first run
PC*MILER|Mobile
•Place your phone as close to the windshield as possible
•Power your phone from the vehicle
Phone Settings
Following are suggested changes to your phone’s settings to make
PC*MILER|Mobile easier to use when driving.
Speaker Volume
PC*MILER|Mobile provides you with both audio and visual directions when
navigating to your destination.
If you are not using a headset with your phone, your phone’s speakerphone should be
on in order to hear audio directions. If your speakerphone is turned off, you will see
an icon at the top of your screen showing a speaker with a line through it.
To check the status of your speakerphone, power up your i88s/i58sr phone and check
to see if the speaker icon has a red line through it. If so, press the speakerphone
button on the top left side of your phone (a speaker icon is on the button). A message
briefly displays, indicating the speaker is on. The speaker icon on the screen no
longer displays.
To set your initial speakerphone volume high enough for directions to be heard under
most road conditions, from the Nextel screen, press the Menu button. Scroll to
Settings and press the button under SELECT. Scroll to Voice Volume and press the
button under SELECT. Highlight Speaker Vol and repeatedly press the right arrow of
the 4-way navigation key until the volume setting is at 4or 5. Then press the button
under BACK to return to the Settings screen.
Display Contrast
To best see the phone’s screen in all lighting conditions, you may want to increase
the screen’s contrast setting. From the Nextel screen, press the Menu button. Scroll
to Settings and press the button under SELECT. Highlight Contrast and repeatedly

.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
14 PC*MILER|Mobile User’s Guide
press the right arrow of the 4-way navigation key until the contrast setting is at 4or
5. Then press the button under BACK to return to the Settings screen.
Optionally, you may want to select an existing car or outdoor style. Refer to your
phone’s manual for more information on using and creating phone styles.
Phone Placement
For best GPS satellite reception on your GPS-enabled phone, place your phone as
close to the windshield as possible.
While many fixed and temporary mount phone holder types are available (adhesive
mounts, vent clip mounts, etc.), for closest placement to
the windshield you may wish to purchase a windshield
suction mount holder such as the one shown here.
Note: Check legal restrictions in your community on
such devices and attach the mount to the windshield in
an area that will not block your vision.
Universal mount suction holders are available from
many manufacturers and are commonly available at
cellular phone accessory retailers and Internet stores.
Two such examples include:
Radio Shack’s Adjustable Subcompact Universal
Phone Mount, Model 17-551
•Includes a universal phone grip and pedestal. This model can be suction
mounted to the windshield or adhesive mounted to the dash.
•Search http://www.radioshack.com with the part number, call 1-800-
THESHACK, or check a Radio Shack store near you.
Arkon Resource’s CM 30 Universal Gripmatic Cell Phone Cradle plus CM52 8”
pedestal or CM53 14” pedestal
•See http://www.arkon.com for details and lists of retail vendors or call 1-800-
841-0884.
Note: To keep the phone and PC*MILER|Mobile operating properly, do not leave
your phone on the dash where it could be exposed to the sun’s heat. If your phone is
left in the sun for prolonged periods, hold it in front of the air conditioning vent for a
few minutes before using.

PC*MILER|Mobile User’s Guide 15
Phone Power
Powering your GPS-enabled cell phone with an optional cigarette lighter adapter
while using the phone for navigation provides three advantages:
•Your phone’s battery will be charged while you are using the phone for
navigation. GPS operation consumes power when in constant use, and so it
can drain batteries. If the phone is used for navigation over long hours – such
as an 8-hour work day – fully charged batteries can be completely drained.
•The phone’s back light will be constantly on while the phone is charging. A
back-lighted screen is easier to see even in daylight conditions. At night, a
back-lighted screen is absolutely essential when navigating.
Note: Since back lighting consumes battery power, it is best to use it with a
power adapter.
•The GPS unit inside the device will provide the best location resolution
possible.
Power adapters for the i88s and i58sr phones can be purchased from resellers of
iDEN accessories, from Nextel (http://www.nextel.com) or Nextel dealers, or directly
from Motorola (http://www.idenstore.com).
The Motorola part number for an i88s/i58sr compatible vehicle battery charger is
SYN7818A. The chargers are also available in multiple translucent colors. Each
color has its own part number.
