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 
Important! Read before use! 
Death or serious injury could result from failure or partial failure to follow these warnings and 
instructions. Failure to properly set up, use, and care for this device can increase the risk of serious 
injury or death, or damage to the device. 
Use with care 
It is your responsibility to use best judgment, due care, and attention when using this device. Don't 
allow interaction with this device to distract you while driving. Minimize the time spent looking at 
the device screen while driving. You are responsible for observing laws that limit or prohibit the use 
of mobile phones or other electronic devices, for example, the requirement to use hands-free 
options for making calls when driving. Always obey applicable laws and road signs, especially 
those relating to your vehicle’s dimensions, weight, and payload type. TomTom does not 
guarantee the error-free operation of this device nor the accuracy of route suggestions provided and 
shall not be liable for any penalties arising from your failure to comply with applicable laws and 
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. 
Proper Mounting 
Do not mount the device in a way that may obstruct your view of the road or your ability to control 
the vehicle. Do not place the device in an area that may obstruct the deployment of an airbag or of 
any other safety feature of your vehicle.

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). 
The SAR limit recommended by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S. 
Government, Industry Canada of the Canadian Government (IC) is 1.6W/kg averaged over 1 gram of 
tissue for the body (4.0 W/kg averaged over 10 grams of tissue for the extremities - hands, wrists, 
ankles and feet). Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions specified by FCC/IC 
with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. 
FCC information for the user 
THE DEVICE COMPLIES WITH PART 15 OF THE FCC RULES 
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Statement 
This equipment radiates radio frequency energy and if not used properly - that is, in strict 
accordance with the instructions in this manual - may cause interference to radio communications
