Turn the rubber grip near the base of the mount in a clockwise direction until you feel it lock. 7. If your mount is not integrated into your Rider, place your Rider in the mount, making sure that it clicks into place. Dashboard mount disks are available as part of a range of accessories for your Rider. For more information, go to tomtom.com/accessories. Positioning the device Be careful where you install your Rider in your car. The Rider shouldn't block or interfere with any of the following:  Your view of the road.  The controls in your car.  Your rear-view mirrors.  The airbags.

Safety Notice Some navigation devices contain a GSM/GPRS module which can interfere with electrical devices such as cardiac pacemakers, hearing aids and aviation equipment. Interference with these devices may endanger the health or life of you or others. If your device includes a GSM/GPRS module, do not use it near unprotected electrical units or in areas where the use of mobile telephones is prohibited, such as hospitals and aircraft. Setting up Note: The language you choose will be used for all text on the screen. You can always change the language later in Language and Units in the Settings menu. When you first switch on your TomTom Rider, you have to answer a few questions to set it up. Answer the questions by touching the screen. GPS reception When you first start your TomTom Rider, it may need a few minutes to determine your position. In future, your position will be found much faster. To ensure good satellite reception, use your Rider outdoors and keep it upright. Large objects such as tall buildings can sometimes interfere with reception. Important: QuickGPSfix contains information about satellite positions which helps your Rider find your position faster. QuickGPSfix information is sent to Always Connected devices in real time and to Smartphone Connected devices when connected to TomTom services using your smartphone. You can also update QuickGPSfix using MyDrive. Sending information to TomTom When you first start navigating or you have reset your Rider, your Rider asks for permission to collect some information about your use of the navigation device. The information is stored on your Rider until we retrieve it. We use it anonymously to improve our products and services. If you use our services, we will also use your location information to deliver the services to you. You can change whether you send this information with us at any time by doing the following: 1. In the Main Menu, select the Settings button. 2. Select System. 3. Select Your information. 4. Select the button to turn sending of information on or off.
9 Note: If you choose not to send location information to us, you will no longer receive our services. This is because services need to send the location of your device to TomTom in order to receive the traffic information related to where you are. The end date of your subscription remains the same, even if you do not send this information to us. Additional information If you think that your information is not being used for the purpose for which you have provided it to TomTom, contact us at tomtom.com/support. You can find current and more detailed information at tomtom.com/privacy. Memory card slot Some TomTom navigation devices have a memory card slot that is located on the side or bottom of the device. Before you use the memory card slot, make sure that you have the latest version of the application installed on your navigation device by connecting to MyDrive using a computer. When your Rider is up-to-date, you can use a memory card as extra storage space to add extra maps to your device. Maps can be purchased from tomtom.com. Device not starting In rare cases, your TomTom Rider may not start correctly or may stop responding to your taps. First, check that the battery is charged. To charge the battery, connect your Rider to the car charger. It can take up to 3 hours to fully charge the battery. If this does not solve the problem, you can perform a reset. To do this, press and hold the On/Off button until your Rider begins to restart. Charging your device The battery in your TomTom Rider charges when you connect it to the car charger, to your computer or to a USB Home Charger. You are warned when the battery level is low or critical. You lose your connection to some TomTom services when the battery level is low or critical. When the battery is empty, your Rider goes into sleep mode. Note: Use ONLY the USB cable supplied with your Rider. Other USB cables may not work. Caring for your Rider It is important to take care of your device:  Do not open the casing of your device under any circumstances. Doing so may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.  Wipe or dry the screen of your device using a soft cloth. Do not use any liquid cleaners.

In addition, you can choose to see the current time if you switch the setting on. Note: To make the route bar more readable some incidents may not be shown. These incidents will always be of minor importance and only cause short delays. The route bar also shows status messages, for example Finding fastest route or Playing route preview. Looking at traffic on the map Traffic incidents are shown on the map. If several traffic incidents overlap the highest priority incident is shown - for example, a road closure is higher priority than road works or a closed lane.
27 Tip: Select an incident on the map to see more detailed information. 1. Traffic incident that affects your route in your direction of travel. A symbol or number at the start of the incident shows the type of incident or the delay in minutes, for example 5 minutes. The colour of the incident indicates the speed of traffic relative to the maximum allowed speed at that location, with red being the slowest. The stripes on the traffic jam are also animated to show the speed of the traffic, where appropriate. For a complete list of incident types, see Traffic incidents. Tip: You see weather symbols on the map if there is bad weather such as heavy rain or snow. 2. Traffic incident on your route but in the opposite direction of travel. 3. Traffic incidents on roads that are not visible at your current zoom level. Looking at traffic on your route Information about traffic incidents on your route is shown in the route bar on the right-hand side of the map.

Note: If your Rider isn't receiving any traffic information, a symbol showing traffic with a cross appears underneath the arrival information panel. Note: To make the route bar more readable some incidents may not be shown. These incidents will always be of minor importance and only cause short delays.
28 To get more information about an incident, select an incident in the route bar. The map opens zoomed in on the incident and a pop-up opens showing detailed information about the traffic incident.

When you zoom in, the lower ranked search results are gradually shown. About postcodes When searching using a postcode, your results depend on the type of postcode used in the country that you are searching in. The following types of postcodes are used:  Postcodes that navigate you to a street or part of a street.  Postcodes that navigate you to an area comprising, for example, a single town, several villages in a rural area or a district in a large city. Postcodes for streets Countries such as the Netherlands and the United Kingdom use this type of postcode. When you search using this type of postcode, enter the postcode, then leave a space and then optionally enter the house number. For example, "1017CT 35". Your device then plans a route to a specific house or building on a specific street. Postcodes for areas Countries such as Germany, France and Belgium use this type of postcode. If you search using a postcode for an area, your results include all the streets in a city district, the whole town, or the villages within that postcode. You may get results from multiple countries if you enter a postcode for an area. Note: If you search using a postcode for an area, you will not get a specific address in your results. This type of postcode is still very useful in reducing the number of search results. For example, a search for Neustadt in Germany returns a long list of possible results. Adding a space followed by the postcode for an area narrows the results down to the Neustadt that you are looking for. As another example, if you want to search in a city, enter a postcode for an area and select the city centre you are searching for from the results. About mapcodes In countries where roads and houses have no names or addresses, you can use a mapcode instead. A mapcode represents a location.
39 Every location on Earth, including those in the sea like islands and oil rigs, can be represented by a mapcode. Mapcodes are short, and easy to recognise, remember and communicate. They are precise to a few metres, which is good enough for every-day use. Go to mapcode.com for instructions on how to find the mapcode for a location. Mapcodes are more precise and more flexible than the address on a business card. You can choose a location that you want to associate with your address, for example, the main entrance or the entrance to a car park.

81 About danger zones and risk zones The Danger Zones service warns you about danger zones and risk zones on your route when you are in France. Since 3rd January 2012, it has been illegal to receive warnings about the position of fixed or mobile speed cameras when you are driving in France. To be compliant with this change in French law, speed camera locations are no longer reported but instead areas of danger are indicated as danger zones and risk zones. Important: Outside of France, you receive warnings about speed cameras. Inside France, you receive warnings about danger zones and risk zones. When you cross the border, the type of warning you receive changes. A danger zone is a zone specified by French law. A risk zone is a temporary danger zone reported by users. The Danger Zones service warns you about both danger zones and risk zones in the same way. Danger zones and risk zones may or may not contain one or more speed cameras or a range of other driving hazards:  Specific locations are not available and a danger zone icon is shown instead as you approach the zone.  The minimum length of the zone depends on the road type and is 300 m for roads in built-up areas, 2000 m (2 km) for secondary roads and 4000 m (4 km) for motorways.  The location of one or more speed cameras, if any, can be at any point within the zone.  If two danger zones are close to each other, the warnings can be merged into a single longer zone. Information about the location of zones is continually updated by TomTom and other users and frequently sent to your Rider so that you always have the latest information. You can also contribute by reporting new risk zone locations. To get TomTom services on your Rider, you must be connected to TomTom services and logged in to a MyTomTom account. Note: You cannot remove a danger zone or a risk zone. Note: TomTom services are not available on all Rider devices. Note: TomTom services are not available in all countries or regions, and not all services are available in all countries or regions. For more information on available services in each region, go to tomtom.com/services. Danger zone and risk zone warnings Warnings are given 10 seconds before you reach a danger zone or risk zone. You are warned in several ways:  A symbol is shown in the route bar and on your route on the map.  Your distance to the start of the zone is shown in the route bar.  You hear a warning sound as you get near the start of the zone.  While you are approaching a zone or driving in a zone, your speed is monitored. If you drive more than 5 km/h or 3 mph over the speed limit the route bar turns red. If you drive less than 5 km/h or 3 mph over the speed limit the route bar turns orange.  While you are driving in a zone your distance to the end of the zone is shown in the route bar. Danger Zones
