dum 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

which is responsible for its availability and accuracy. Any

changes in GPS availability and accuracy, or in environmental

conditions, may impact the operation of your TomTom GO.

TomTom International B.V. and TomTom, Inc. cannot accept

any liability for the availability and accuracy of GPS.

Use with Care

Use of TomTom GO for navigation still means that you 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. TomTom GO must

not be used in these environments.

Battery

This product uses a Lithium-Ion battery. Do not use it 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 or in a pressurized

container, and do not expose it to temperatures over 60 C

(140 F). 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. Do not pierce, open or

disassemble the battery. If the battery leaks and you come into

contact with the leaked fluids, rinse thoroughly with water and

seek medical attention immediately. For safety reasons, and to

prolong the lifetime of the battery, charging will not occur at low

(below 0 C/32 F) or high (over 45 C/113 F) temperatures.

Temperatures: Standard operation: -10 C (14 F) to +55 C

(131 F); short period storage: -20 C (-4 F) to + 60 C (140 F); long

period storage: -20 C (-4 F) to +25 C (77 F).

To recycle your TomTom GO unit please see your local

approved TomTom service center.

windows. TomTom Inc. bears no responsibility for any fines,

penalties or damage that may be incurred by disregarding this

notice. While driving in California, TomTom recommends the use

B digital device pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These are

designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful

interference in a residential installation. However, there is no

guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular

Before You Start...

Before

You

Start... Everyone Loves TomTom GO

So never leave your GO in your car when

you’re not using it - it’s an easy target for

thieves.

Always take your GO, the windshield mount,

and the car charger with you; don’t leave any

TomTom products visible to others.

Always store your GO in the carry case to

protect the screen.

Back Up Your TomTom GO

It’s always a good idea to make a backup of the

contents of your TomTom GO. You can make

a backup using TomTom HOME.

For more information about TomTom HOME,

see Using TomTom HOME on page 24.

Take Care of Your TomTom GO

It is important to take care of your GO and to

clean it correctly.

• Use a soft cloth to wipe the screen of your

GO; do not use any liquid cleaners.

• If your GO gets wet, dry it with a soft cloth.

• Do not open the casing of your GO under

any circumstances. Doing so may be

dangerous and will invalidate your

warranty.

• Do not use the memory card (SD card) with

any device other than a TomTom device.

Other devices may damage the memory

card.

• Do not expose your GO to high or low

temperatures, which can cause permanent

damage. For example, don’t leave it in the

car on hot summer days or during cold

winter nights.

Getting started

Getting

started Switching On

Follow the instructions on the Installation

Poster to dock your TomTom GO in your car.

The first time you switch on your

TomTom GO, it may take up to 20 seconds to

start. To switch off your TomTom GO, press

and hold the On/Off button for 2 seconds.

Setting Up

You have to answer a few questions to set up

your TomTom GO. Answer the questions by

tapping the screen. You will use the

touchscreen for everything you do with your

GO.

Once you have answered the questions, your

GO will display the Driving View. The Driving

View is shown in black and white until your GO

locates your current position.

Locating Your Current Position

Your TomTom GO must be outdoors to locate

your current position. The first time you start

your GO, it can take up to 5 minutes to find

your current position. If it takes longer than 5

minutes, make sure that you are in an open

place without tall buildings or trees around

you.

In the future, your position will be found much

more quickly, normally within a few seconds.

Once your GO has located your current

position, the Driving View is shown in full color

and shows your position on the map.

Finding Your Position Faster

To find your position faster, use the home

dock in combination with TomTom HOME on

your computer. When connected to the

Internet, TomTom HOME automatically

downloads information which helps your GO

locate your position faster.

For more information about GPS, see How

Does Navigation Work? on page 26.

Note: Your TomTom GO does not transmit your

position. You can, however, send your position to

TomTom Buddies. For more information, visit

www.tomtom.com/plus

Note: Some vehicles have a heat reflective shield

embedded in the windshield that may prevent

TomTom GO from locating your current position.

If this is a problem in your vehicle, use the

TomTom External Antenna Kit (available as an

accessory).
