Important Safety Notices and Warnings
Global Positioning System (GPS) and Global Navigation Satellite System (GLONASS)
The Global Positioning System (GPS) and Global Navigation Satellite System (GLONASS) systems are
satellite-based systems that provide location and timing information around the globe. GPS is
operated and controlled by the Government of the United States of America, which is solely
responsible for its availability and accuracy. GLONASS is operated and controlled by the Government
of Russia, which is solely responsible for its availability and accuracy. Changes in GPS or GLONASS
availability and accuracy, or in environmental conditions may impact the operation of this device.
TomTom disclaims any liability for the availability and accuracy of GPS or GLONASS.
Safety messages

regulations.
Notice for oversized/commercial vehicles
Devices without a truck map installed will not provide appropriate routes for oversized/commercial
vehicles. If your vehicle is subject to weight, dimension, speed, route, or other restrictions on a
public road then you must only use a device that has a truck map installed. Your vehicle specifica-
tions must be entered accurately on the device. Use this device as a navigation aid only. Do not
follow navigation instructions which may put you or other road users in danger. TomTom accepts no
liability for damages resulting from your failure to observe this notice.

Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum of 15 cm (6 inches) be maintained between
a handheld wireless device and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker.
These recommendations are consistent with independent research and recommendations by
Wireless Technology Research. Guidelines for people with pacemakers:
You should ALWAYS keep the device more than 15 cm/6 inches from your pacemaker.
You should not carry the device in a breast pocket
Other Medical Devices
Please consult your physician or the manufacturer of the medical device, to determine if the
operation of your wireless product may interfere with the medical device.
Use of Audio Systems
You are advised to use the TomTom Rider features requiring an audio system (i.e. the spoken
turn-by-turn instructions, smartphone notifications) only with an appropriate Bluetooth®
helmet-built-in audio system. Always check local legal and safety requirements before selecting an
audio system for your device. Drivers are solely responsible for complying with these laws and
avoiding distractions while on the road.
Water-resistance
Water resistant (IPX 7) if stored, used, and mounted correctly. Do not immerse in water.
Operational Instructions:
The TomTom Rider is a navigation device that provides guidance using the GPS and GLONASS
satellite systems. 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 void the warranty.
Wipe or dry the screen of your device using a soft cloth. Do not use any liquid cleaners.
Special Note Regarding Driving in California, Minnesota and Other States
California Vehicle Code Section 26708 which applies to those driving within the State of California
restricts the mounting of a navigation device on the windshield to a seven-inch square in the lower
corner of the windshield farthest removed from the driver or in a five-inch square in the lower
corner of the windshield nearest to the driver and outside of an airbag deployment zone, if the
system is used only for door-to-door navigation while the motor vehicle is being operated. Drivers in
California should not mount the device on their side or rear windows.
Minnesota State Legislature Statutes Section 169.71, subdivision 1, section 2 restrict any person
driving within the State of Minnesota from driving with a device suspended between the driver and
the windshield.
Many other states have enacted laws which restrict the placement of any object or material on the
windshield or side or rear window that obstructs a driver's clear view of the road. It is incumbent
upon the driver to be aware of all applicable laws and to place the device in such a manner that will
not interfere with his/her driving.
TomTom, Inc. bears no responsibility for and hereby disclaims all liability for any fines, penalties or
damage incurred by a driver for violations of the law. While driving in any state with windshield
mounting restrictions, TomTom recommends using the supplied Adhesive Disk or purchasing an
alternative mounting system (e.g. dashboard or air vents). See tomtom.com for more information
about these mounting options.

USA Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) Compliance
THIS WIRELESS DEVICE MODEL MEETS GOVERNMENT REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES
WHEN USED AS DIRECTED IN THIS SECTION
This GPS Navigation System is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not
to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S. Government, Industry Canada of the Canadian
Government (IC).
