Narrative:
On departure on the teb 5 runway 24 we climbed to 800 ft turned right to a heading of 280 degrees. During the 'hand-off' to ny center a confusion with the frequency caused me to become distracted. The first officer failed to level-off at the required 1500 ft until 4.5 DME; we leveled at 2000 approximately 1.5 miles early. Having the right departure frequency would have helped; the first officer not becoming distracted while trying to engage the autopilot during a complex low altitude procedure; having the fix altitude limit of 1500 ft in the window instead of 2000 ft; as was the case with this departure would have prevented this deviation from a clearance from happening.
