Switching on and off
Switching your device on
Press the On/Off button until your device starts. If the device was off you see the map view. If your
device was sleeping you see the last screen you were looking at.
Sending your device to sleep
To send your navigation device to sleep, press the On/Off button and then release it.
You can also press the On/Off button for more than 2 seconds until you see the Sleep and Turn
Off buttons. Select Sleep to make the device sleep.
Tip: To send your navigation device to sleep when the USB cable is unplugged or whenever it
is removed from the mount, go to Battery settings in the Settings menu.
Switching your device off completely
To switch off your navigation device completely, you can do one of the following:
Press and hold the On/Off button for more than 2 seconds until you see the Sleep and Turn Off
buttons. Select Turn Off to switch off the device. Select the "back" button if you don't want to
switch your device off.
Press and hold the On/Off button for more than 5 seconds until the device switches off.
Safety Notice
Some navigation devices contain a GSM/GPRS module which can interfere with electrical devices
such as cardiac pacemakers, hearing aids and aviation equipment.
Interference with these devices may endanger the health or life of you or others.
If your device includes a GSM/GPRS module, do not use it near unprotected electrical units or in
areas where the use of mobile telephones is prohibited, such as hospitals and aircraft.
Setting up
Note: The language you choose will be used for all text on the screen. You can always change the
language later in Language and Units in the Settings menu.
When you first switch on your TomTom GO ESSENTIAL, you have to answer a few questions to
set it up. Answer the questions by touching the screen.
GPS reception
When you first start your TomTom GO ESSENTIAL, it may need a few minutes to determine your
position. In future, your position will be found much faster.
To ensure good satellite reception, use your TomTom GO ESSENTIAL outdoors and keep it
upright. Large objects such as tall buildings can sometimes interfere with reception.
Important: QuickGPSfix contains information about satellite positions which helps your TomTom
GO ESSENTIAL find your position faster. QuickGPSfix information is downloaded whenever your
device is connected to the internet using any method (Wi-Fi, GPRS, smartphone or USB).
13
Sending information to TomTom
When you first start navigating or you have reset your TomTom GO ESSENTIAL, your TomTom
GO ESSENTIAL asks for permission to collect some information about your use of the navigation
device. The information is stored on your TomTom GO ESSENTIAL until we retrieve it. We use it
anonymously to improve our products and services. If you use our services, we will also use your
location information to deliver the services to you.
You can change whether you send this information with us at any time by doing the following:
1. In the Main Menu, select the Settings button.
2. Select System.
3. Select Your information & privacy.
4. Select the button to turn sending of information on or off.
Note: If you choose not to send location information to us, you will no longer receive our
services. This is because services need to send the location of your device to TomTom in order
to receive the traffic information related to where you are. The end date of your subscription
remains the same, even if you do not send this information to us.
You can find current and more detailed information at tomtom.com/privacy.
Memory card slot
Some TomTom navigation devices have a memory card slot that is located on the side or bottom
of the device.
Before you use the memory card slot, make sure that your navigation device has the latest
software version installed by selecting Updates & New Items in the Settings menu.
When your TomTom GO ESSENTIAL is up to date, you can use a memory card as extra storage
space to store downloaded maps or to store routes and tracks on your device.
Important: Routes and tracks cannot be stored on the same memory card as maps because
different memory card formatting is used.
Device not starting
In rare cases, your TomTom GO ESSENTIAL device may not start correctly or may stop
responding to your taps.
First, check that the battery is charged. To charge the battery, connect your TomTom GO
ESSENTIAL device to the car charger. It can take 3 - 5 hours to fully charge the battery depending
on the type of device.
Important: Do not charge your device using your vehicle's own USB port because it is not
powerful enough.
If this does not solve the problem, you can perform a reset. To do this, press and hold the On/Off
button until your TomTom GO ESSENTIAL begins to restart.
Charging your device
The battery in your TomTom GO ESSENTIAL charges when you connect it to your TomTom
vehicle charger, to your computer or to a USB Home Charger.
14
Important: Do not charge your device using your vehicle's own USB port because it is not
powerful enough.
You are warned when the battery level is low or critical. You lose your connection to some
TomTom services when the battery level is low or critical. When the battery is empty, your
TomTom GO ESSENTIAL goes into sleep mode.
Important: On device models START 42/52, START 40/50/60, and GO 51/61, the screen
intentionally dims when you connect your device to your computer. The screen also dims if you
use a non-TomTom charger that does not provide enough power when charging.
Note: Use ONLY the USB cable supplied with your TomTom GO ESSENTIAL. Other USB cables
may not work.
Caring for your TomTom GO ESSENTIAL
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 invalidate the warranty.
Wipe or dry the screen of your device using a soft cloth. Do not use any liquid cleaners.

Personal Area Networks
Smartphone-connected devices only
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.
