Getting started2.

Getting started
Install your TomTom XL in your car following the instructions on the
installation poster at the start of this book.
To switch on your TomTom XL, press and hold the On/Off button for 2
seconds. The first time you switch on your device, it may take a short while to
start.
You have to answer a few questions to set up your device.
Having problems?
In rare cases, your XL may not start correctly or may stop responding to your
taps.
First, check that the battery is charged properly. To fully charge the battery,
you need to charge it for at least 2 hours.
If this doesn’t work, you can reset your device. To do this, press and hold the
Power button for fifteen seconds. Release the Power button when device
begins to restart.
Charging your TomTom XL
Before you use your XL for the first time, it’s a good idea to charge it fully using
the home charger, which takes about 2 hours.
There is no charging light on your XL. To check the battery status and see
when your XL is charging, switch on your device and tap the bottom right-
hand corner of the screen in the Driving View. The battery status is shown on
the next page.
Improving reception
If your TomTom XL takes longer than 5 minutes to find your current position,
make sure that the device is in an open space away from tall objects, such as
buildings or trees.
When you connect your TomTom XL to your computer, you can use TomTom
HOME to download information about GPS satellite positions during the next
7 days. This helps your XL to find your position faster.
Important: Some vehicles have heat reflective shielding in the windscreen.
This may prevent your XL from locating your current position.
Take care of your TomTom XL
Never leave your TomTom XL or accessories on view when you leave the car
or they may become an easy target for thieves.
4
You can set a password for your TomTom XL which must be entered every
time you start your XL.
It is important to take care of your XL.
Your XL is not designed for use in extreme temperatures and any such
exposure may cause permanent damage.
Do not open the casing of your XL under any circumstances. Doing so may
be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
Wipe or dry the screen of your XL using a soft cloth. Do not use any liquid
cleaners.

Making your first journey
Planning a route with your TomTom XL is easy. To plan your first route, follow
the steps below.
Important: You should always plan your journey before you start driving. It is
dangerous to plan a route while driving.
1. Tap the screen to bring up the Main Menu.
Note: The buttons on your XL are shown in full colour unless a button is
currently unavailable. For example, the button named Find alternative... in
the Main Menu is not available until you have planned a route.
2. Tap Navigate to...
3. Tap Address.
When you enter an address, you can choose from the following options:
City centre - tap this button to set your destination as the centre of a city
or town.
Street and house number - tap this button to set an exact address as your
destination.
Postcode - tap this button to enter a postcode as your destination.
Note: You can enter a postcode for any country. In the UK and the
Netherlands, postcodes are detailed enough to identify a house on their own.
In other countries you can enter a postcode to identify a town or area. You will
then have to enter a street and house number.
7
Crossing or intersection - tap this button to set your destination as the
point where two streets meet.
In this example, we will enter an exact address.
4. Tap Street and house number.
Note: When planning a trip for the first time your XL asks you to choose a
country. Your choice is saved and used for all routes you plan.
You can change this setting at any time by tapping the country flag.
5. Start to type the name of the town where you want to go.
As you type, the names of the towns that match what you have typed are
shown. When your destination appears in the list, tap the name of the town
to set the destination.
6. Start to type the name of the street and select it when it is shown.
As with the name of the town, the names of the streets that match what you
have typed are shown. When your destination appears in the list, tap the
name of the street to set the destination.
7. Now enter the house number of your destination and then tap Done.
8. Your XL asks if you need to arrive at a particular time. For this exercise, tap
NO.
The route is calculated by your XL.
9. When the route has been calculated, tap Done.
Your XL will immediately begin to guide you to your destination, using both
spoken instructions and on-screen directions.
8
Arrival times
When you plan a route, your TomTom XL asks you if you need to arrive at a
particular time.
Tap YES to enter a preferred arrival time.
Your XL calculates your arrival time and shows you whether you will arrive on
time.
You can also use this information to work out when you need to leave. If your
XL shows that you will arrive 30 minutes early, you can wait and leave in 30
minutes time, rather than arrive early.
Your arrival time is constantly recalculated during your journey. The status bar
shows whether you will arrive on time or if you are going to be late, as shown
below:
What are the other navigation options?
When you tap Navigate to..., you can set your destination in many ways, not
just by entering the address. The other options are listed below:
You will arrive 55 minutes before the arrival time you entered.
If the estimated arrival time is more than five minutes before
the time you entered, it is shown in green.
You will arrive 3 minutes before the arrival time you entered.
If the estimated arrival time is less than 5 minutes before the
time you entered, it is shown in yellow.
You will arrive 19 minutes late.
If the estimated arrival time is later than the time you entered,
it is shown in red.
Status bar
preferences
Tap Status bar preferences in the Preferences menu, to enable or disable
arrival time notifications.

You will probably use this button more than any other.

Find out how long a journey is going to take before you start.

explain the route to them.
To plan a route in advance, follow these steps:

Finding alternative routes
Once you have planned a route, you may want to change something about the
route, without changing your destination.
Why change the route?
Maybe for one of these reasons:
You can see a roadblock or a line of traffic ahead.
You want to travel via a particular location, to pick someone up, stop for
lunch or fill up with petrol.
You want to avoid a difficult junction or a road you don’t like.
Find alterna-
tive...
Tap Find alternative... in the Main Menu to change the route that is
currently planned.
Then tap one of the options below.
Calculate
alternative
Tap this button to calculate an alternative to the route already planned.
Your XL will look for another route from your current location to your
destination.
If you decide you would prefer to use the original route after all, tap
Recalculate original.
Why would I need to do this?
Apart from the roads near your position and near your destination, the new
route will use totally different roads to reach your destination. This is an
easy way of calculating a totally different route.
Avoid
roadblock
Tap this button if you can see a roadblock or a line of traffic ahead. You then
have to choose how much of the route ahead you want to avoid.
Choose from the different options: 100m, 500m, 2000m, 5000m. Your XL
will recalculate your route avoiding the section of the route for the distance
you selected.
Don’t forget that once a new route is calculated, you may have to turn off
the road you are on very soon.
If the roadblock suddenly clears, tap Recalculate original to return to your
original route.
12
Travel via...
Tap this button to change your route so that it passes a particular location,
perhaps to pick someone up on the way.
You choose the location you want to pass in the same way as you choose a
destination. So you can select from all the same options: for example,
Address, Favourite, Point of Interest and Point on map.
Your XL will calculate a new route to your destination that passes the
location you chose. Unlike your final destination, your XL does not inform
you when you pass by this location.
Using this button, you can only travel via one location. If you want to pass
more than one, use an Itinerary.
Recalculate
original
Tap this button to return to the original route without deviations to avoid
roadblocks or travelling via particular locations.
Avoid part of
route
Tap this button to avoid a part of the route. Use this button if you see that
your route includes a road or junction you don’t like, or which is well-
known for traffic problems.
You then choose the road you want to avoid from a list of the roads on your
route.
Minimise
delays
Tap this button to recalculate your route so that it avoids traffic problems as
much as possible. Your XL will check if there are any traffic problems on
your route and work out the best route to avoid the problems.
Note: This button is only available with TomTom Traffic enabled.
