Narrative:

Departing runway 01; teterboro 8 departure [we] climbed to 2;000 ft MSL; turned right to 040 until 2.3 DME from teb; overshot turn to heading 280 until 3.5 DME from teb. Upon discovery took immediate corrective action and turned to heading 280 and continued the teterboro 8 departure procedure. Once at cruise altitude the error was discussed by crew. Contributing factors were determined to be crew fatigue; not having armed the LNAV function and a becoming distracted due to a radio frequency hand off issue; i.e. No response after three initial calls to departure control and choosing to return to teb tower frequency. In the future the flight crew will conduct a more thorough departure briefing to include the use of LNAV and VNAV functions to be used during the departure and will aviate; navigate and then communicate with ATC as appropriate.
