Before You Start ...
Important: You are currently reading the
Quick Start Guide. There is afull version
of the
manual available
as a PDF file on the CD.
Switching on and off
To switch your TomTom GO on or off, press
and hold the On/Off button for 2seconds. The
first
time you switch on, it may take a short
while for your device to start.
Note: In rare cases, your GO may not start correctly.
If this happens, press the reset button, then switch
on the device again.
Setting up
To set up your TomTom GO you need to
answer a few questions by tapping the screen.
Important: Take care to select the correct
language, since the language you choose will
be used
for all menus and written instructions.
See
the Installation Poster for information on
installing your TomTom GO in your car.

Battery notes
We recommend that you fully charge your
TomTom GO the first time that you connect it
to the
home dock. It takes up to 2hours to
charge the battery completely.
When you place your GO in the Home Dock,
you are asked if you wish to connect to the
computer. If you select No, the device will
switch off if you do not tap the screen for three
minutes. This happens so that the battery can
recharge at afaster rate.
For
information on connecting to a computer,
refer to the installation poster.
Note: Your TomTom GO uses a small amount of
battery power to remember the last screen being
shown when the device is switched off.
If you do not charge your GO for a prolonged period
of time, the next time you start your GO it will show
the default starting screen. All other device settings
will still be maintained.

Improving reception
If
your TomTom GO 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 GO to your
computer, you can use TomTom HOME to
download information about GPS satellite
positions during the next 7days. This helps
your GO to find your position faster.
Important: Some vehicles have heatreflective
shielding in the windscreen. This may prevent
your GO from locating your current position.
The
TomTom External Antenna Kit (available
for purchase as an accessory) can help to
improve reception.
Windshield
mount
Use the windshield mount to install your
TomTom GO inside your car.
To attach the mount, press the suction cup
firmly to the windshield in your car, in an area
of the windshield where the glass is flat.
Make sure that both the
mount and your
windshield are clean and dry before you attach
the mount. Place the
mount so that it does not
interfere with
your view of the road.

for yourTomTom GO
which must be entered every time you start
your GO. For more information, see Using
TomTom HOME on page 20.
It is important to take care of your GO.
•Your GO is not designed for use in extreme
temperatures and any such exposure may
cause permanent damage.

not open the casing of your GO under

Enhanced Positioning Technology
Note: Enhanced Positioning Technology is available
on the
Tom Tom GO 930 and 930T.
Enhanced Positioning Technology or EPT
estimates your location when GPS reception is
poor, such as when you drive between tall
buildings.
Your
GO uses positioning sensors to monitor
your acceleration and direction and then
estimates
your current location.
EPT only helps your GO to estimate your
location. Calculating your precise location is
only possible when your GO receives astrong
GPS signal.
When
your GO is using EPT to estimate your
location, the EPT icon is shown on the status
bar.
Your
GO calibrates EPT automatically. If
calibration
is not complete when your GO
loses GPS reception, EPT cannot be used and
the screen
is shown in grey, for example,
when there
is no GPS reception at the
beginning
of atrip.
