Installing in your car

Use the supplied mount to install your TomTom GO in your vehicle. Read the instructions about

positioning your device before you install your GO.

To install your GO, do the following:

1. Connect the supplied USB cable to the mount. If the mount is integrated into your GO, connect

the USB cable to the device.

Note: Use ONLY the USB cable supplied with your GO. Other USB cables may not work.

2. Connect the USB cable to the USB car charger and plug this into the power supply on your

dashboard.

3. Choose the best smooth location, on your windshield or side window, to mount your TomTom

GO.

Tip: If the mount is integrated into your GO, you can easily change the rotation of your device.

Push the button on the back of the device to release the mount, then slide the mount out.

Insert it back into the other side of the device.

4. Make sure that both the suction cup on the mount and your windshield are clean and dry.

5. Press the suction cup of the mount firmly against your windshield.

6. Turn the rubber grip near the base of the mount in a clockwise direction until you feel it lock.

7. If your mount is not integrated into your GO, place your GO in the mount, making sure that it

clicks into place.

Dashboard adhesive disks are available as part of a range of accessories for your GO. For more

information, go to tomtom.com/accessories.

Positioning the device

Be careful where you install your GO. The GO shouldn't block or interfere with any of the following:

 Your view of the road.

 The controls in your vehicle.

 Your rearview mirrors.

 The airbags.

You should be able to reach your GO easily without leaning or stretching. In a car, you can attach

your GO to the windshield or side window or you can use a Dashboard Mount Disk to attach the

mount to your dashboard.

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.

Putting your device to sleep

To put your navigation device to sleep, press the On/Off button and then release it.

Get going

10

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.

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, 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, it may need a few minutes to determine your position. In the

future, your position will be found much faster.

To ensure good satellite reception, use your GO 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 GO find your

position faster. QuickGPSFix information is sent to Always Connected devices in real time and to

Smartphone Connected devices when connected to TomTom services using your smartphone. You

can also update QuickGPSFix using MyDrive.

Sending information to TomTom

When you first start navigating or you have reset your GO, your GO asks for permission to collect

some information about your use of the navigation device. The information is stored on your GO

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 to us at any time by doing the following:

1. In the Main Menu, select the Settings button.

2. Select System.

3. Select Your information.

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.

Additional 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.

11

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 you have the latest version of the application

installed on your navigation device by connecting to MyDrive using a computer.

When your GO is up to date, you can use a memory card as extra storage space to add extra maps,

tracks or routes to your device. Maps can be purchased from tomtom.com.

Device not starting

In rare cases, your TomTom GO may not start correctly or may stop responding to your taps.

First, check that the battery is charged. To charge the battery, connect your GO to the car charger.

It can take 3 - 5 hours to fully charge the battery, depending on the type of device.

If this does not solve the problem, you can perform a reset. To do this, press and hold the On/Off

button until your GO begins to restart.

Charging your device

The battery in your TomTom GO charges when you connect it to the car charger, to your computer

or to a USB Home Charger.

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 GO goes into

sleep mode.

Note: Use ONLY the USB cable supplied with your GO. Other USB cables may not work.

Caring for your GO

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.
