About connecting the TomTom Bridge

The TomTom Bridge connects to the Internet so you can use the installed apps and access TomTom

services.

The TomTom Bridge is connected in one of the following ways:

 With a permanent connection directly from the TomTom Bridge. The device is always connected

- you don't have to do anything.

 With a connection via your smartphone. You must create a Personal Area Network to connect

your smartphone to your TomTom Bridge.

Note: To update the TomTom Bridge software, use a Wi-Fi connection.

Smartphone connection

Using your smartphone to connect the TomTom Bridge to a network means that data is sent and

received by your smartphone using your mobile services provider.

Your smartphone needs to be compatible with your TomTom Bridge, and you must have a data plan

from a mobile services provider. Go to tomtom.com/connect for more information.

Important: You might have additional costs when you use your smartphone to connect your TomTom

Bridge, especially if you are outside the area covered by your data plan. Check with your mobile

services provider for more information.

Personal Area Networks

Your phone shares its internet connection by using the phone's Bluetooth and Personal Area Network

(PAN) functions.

Depending on your phone's Operating System, this network, or PAN, might be called one of the

following names:

 Personal Hotspot

 Tethering or Bluetooth Tethering

 Tether or Bluetooth Tether

The PAN function is probably already in your phone's Operating System, or you can download an app

to create a PAN.

Note: Some mobile service providers don't allow their users to use a PAN. If your phone doesn't

have the PAN function, you should contact your service provider for more information.

Please check the user guide for your phone if you are having trouble finding the settings.

For more help, go to tomtom.com/connect.

Connect using Bluetooth

To connect your TomTom Bridge to your smartphone using Bluetooth, do the following:

1. Switch on Bluetooth tethering or Bluetooth hotspot on your phone, and make sure your phone is

discoverable.

Connecting the TomTom Bridge

2. Press the Home button on your TomTom Bridge.

3. Select the Settings app.

4. Switch on Bluetooth.

5. Select Bluetooth, then select SEARCH FOR DEVICES.

The TomTom Bridge searches for your phone and shows it as an available device.

Tip: If your TomTom Bridge cannot find your phone, make sure your phone is still 'discoverable'

or 'visible' for other Bluetooth devices.

6. Select your phone from the list of available devices.

7. After you have connected your TomTom Bridge to your smartphone, you need to check the box

in the Bluetooth profile on the TomTom Bridge to enable internet access as shown below.

Your TomTom Bridge connects to TomTom services using your phone's internet connection.

TomTom services are now active.

The Bluetooth symbol in the Android Status Bar shows that Bluetooth is switched on.

Reconnecting your smartphone

You do not need to do anything to reconnect your TomTom Bridge to your phone.

Your TomTom Bridge will remember your phone and will find it automatically when you have

Bluetooth tethering switched on and you are in range of your device. If you have a valid TomTom

services subscription, the service starts automatically.

On the TomTom Bridge Status bar, check that the TomTom Bridge is connected to the internet.

If you want to connect using another phone, you must connect using Bluetooth for that phone.

Tip: If reconnecting automatically to your smartphone using Bluetooth doesn't work, you can

manually reconnect as described in Connect using Bluetooth.

Unable to get a connection

If your TomTom Bridge cannot connect to your phone, or you have no internet connection, check

the following:

 Your phone is shown on your TomTom Bridge.

 Your phone's Bluetooth tethering or Portable Wi-Fi hotspot is switched on.

15

 Your data plan with your mobile services provider is active, and you can access the internet on

your phone.

The TomTom Bridge uses the Android operating system. TomTom and the device owner have

changed the operating system in the following ways:

 Certain Android features have been disabled, either by TomTom or by the device owner. This

makes the device safer and easier to use while driving.

 Some new features and apps have been added, both by TomTom and by the device owner.

These additions customise the device so it is relevant for the functions it will be used for.

The features added by TomTom are as follows:

services and information you enter. We learn how you use the device so we can continually

improve.

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.
