Getting
started Switching on and off
Install your TomTom GO navigation device
in your car following the instructions in the
installation section at the start of this book.
To switch on your navigation device, press
and hold the On/Off button until you see the
start-up screen. The first time you switch on
your device, it may take a short time to start.
Setting up
When you first switch on your device, you
have to answer a few questions to set up the
device. Answer the questions by tapping
the screen.
You are asked whether you make regular
trips to the same locations. If you tap YES,
you can enter these destinations as your
favourite destinations. Every time you
switch on your device, you can immediately
select one of these locations as your desti-
nation.
To change these destinations or select a
new destination, tap Start-up preferences in
the Preferences menu, then select Ask for a
destination.
Device not starting
In rare cases, your TomTom GO navigation
device may not start correctly or may stop
responding to your taps.
First, check that the battery is properly
charged. To charge the battery, connect
your device to the car charger. It can take up
to 2 hours to fully charge the battery.
If this does not solve the problem, you can
reset the device. To do this, press and hold
the On/Off button for 15 seconds and
release the button when your device begins
to restart.

Battery notes
The battery in your TomTom GO navigation
device charges when you connect it to the
car charger or to your computer.
When you connect your device to a com-
puter, you are asked if you want to connect
to the computer. If you select No and then
do not tap the screen within three minutes,
the device will automatically switch off. This
happens so that the battery can charge
faster.
Note: You should plug the USB connector
directly into a USB port on your computer and
not into a USB hub or USB port on a keyboard
or monitor.
GPS reception
When you first start your TomTom GO nav-
igation device, the device may need a few
minutes to determine your GPS position
and show your current position on the map.
In future, your position will be found much
faster, usually within a few seconds.
To ensure good GPS reception, you should
use your device outdoors. Large objects
such as tall buildings can sometimes inter-
fere with reception.

Safety Positioning the EasyClick Mount
Consider carefully where to attach the
mount in your car. The mount should not
block or interfere with any of the following:
• Your view of the road
• Any of the controls in your car
• Any of your mirrors
• The airbag
When your navigation device is in the
mount, you should be able to reach the
device easily without leaning or stretching.
The diagrams show where you can safely
attach the mount.
You can attach the mount to the wind-
screen, side window or use a Dashboard
Mount Disk to attach the mount to your
dashboard. TomTom also offers alternative
mounting solutions for your TomTom navi-
gation device. For more information about
Dashboard Mount Disks and alternative
mounting solutions, go to tomtom.com/
accessories.
Installing the Active Dock
Make sure that both the Active Dock and
your window are clean and dry.
1. Press the suction cup firmly against the
window on an area where the glass is
flat.
2. Twist the rubber grip near the base of the
Active Dock in a clockwise direction until
you hear a click.
The Active Dock is now installed.

is found. To apply this setting, tap Traffic
settings in the Traffic menu.

A green bar means your voice
is at the right level for your
device to hear your com-
mands.
A red bar means your voice is
too loud.
A grey bar means your voice
is too quiet.
For some phrases, your device repeats
the command, then asks you if the com-
mand has been correctly recognised.
3. If the command is correct, say, "Yes."
If the command is incorrect, say, "No"
and when prompted, say the command
again after the beep .
Your device plans a route from your current
position to your Home address.
