Important Safety Notices and Warnings
Global Positioning System
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite-based system that provides location and timing information around the
globe. GPS is operated and controlled under the sole responsibility of the Government of the United States of America, who
are responsible for its availability and accuracy. Any changes in GPS availability and accuracy may impact the operation of
your GPS receiver. Environmental conditions will affect the operation of your GPS receiver. TomTom B.V. cannot accept
any liability for the availability and accuracy of GPS.
Use With Care
Use of a GPS receiver for navigation does not by any means substitute for the need to drive with due care and attention.
Aircraft and Hospitals
Use of devices with an antenna is prohibited on most aircraft, in many hospitals and in many other locations. The TomTom
Wireless GPS receiver must not be used in these environments.
Heat Reflective Shields
Newer model vehicles may have a heat reflective shield embedded in the windshield preventing proper GPS signal
reception if the receiver is placed behind the windshield. To enable proper reception:
(a) Place the receiver in a different position, or
(b) Place the receiver behind the rear view mirror, where many vehicles have an opening in the heat reflective shield,
indicated by a black outline
Battery
This product uses a Lithium-Ion battery. Please charge the battery fully before first use. Refer to operational temperature
ranges in the specification appendix. Operation in low (below 0ºC/32ºF) or high (over 45ºC/110ºF) temperatures will affect
power supply efficiency and the ability to charge the battery. All Lithium-Ion batteries will experience power supply efficiency
deterioration over time, even if not used, and have a limited life expectancy. Permanently powering the battery will reduce
life expectancy. Do not continue recharging the battery if it does not recharge within the specified time. Do not pierce, open
or disassemble the battery. Do not swallow the battery. If the battery leaks and you come into contact with the leaked fluids,
rinse thoroughly with water and seek medical attention immediately.
Do not use your product in a humid, wet and/or corrosive environment. Do not put, store or leave your product in or near a
heat source; in a high temperature location; in strong direct sunlight; in a microwave oven; in a pressurized container, and
do not expose it to temperatures over 60ºC (140ºF). Failure to follow these guidelines may cause the Lithium-Ion battery to
leak acid; become hot; explode; or ignite and cause injury and/or damage.
THE LITHIUM-ION BATTERY CONTAINED IN THE PRODUCT MUST BE RECYCLED OR
DISPOSED OF PROPERLY. USE ONLY WITH SUPPLIED CHARGER(s) AND SUPPLIED AC
ADAPTOR FOR BATTERY CHARGING.
Installation, Use & Maintenance
Do not attempt to service this product yourself. Do not open, puncture or disassemble the product.
Ensure that the GPS receiver has an unobstructed view of the sky. Protect your product from excessive heat (see previous
paragraph), extreme cold (see previous paragraph), dust, liquids and direct sunlight. Do not use in a humid environment. Do
not use the product on an unstable surface. When using the product in a mobile environment always fasten the product to
prevent accidental movement of it. Handle all parts, cables and connectors with care. Only use supplied and suggested
accessories and power supplies. Ensure that any power supply and/or AC adapter is cooled by placing it in a ventilated
area. The power supply and/or AC adapter and the receiver unit may become warm or hot during operation. Unplug the
product from any external power source before cleaning. Only clean the product with a dry cloth. Follow the instructions in
this manual carefully.

Bluetooth
connection Please refer to the Bluetooth connection setup instructions in the documentation that comes with
your PDA, Smartphone or laptop. You will need to set up a Serial Port connection between the
GPS receiver and your device. The GPS receiver will appear to your device as the “TomTom
Wireless GPS MkII” and its GPS signal will be output on its “GPS serial output”. To ensure ease of
use, create a Bluetooth bond between your device and the GPS receiver. The pairing code is
0000. Please check specific device setup information on our support pages at www.tomtom.com.
Configuring your
software
After setting up the Bluetooth connection, you will need to modify the properties of the software on
your PDA, Smartphone or laptop to use the GPS signal from the GPS receiver. Please refer to the
documentation of your device, and of your software. Choose the NMEA protocol.
