Important: The Speed Cameras service isn't available in all countries. For example, in France,
TomTom offers a Danger Zone service and in Switzerland, no speed camera services are permitted
at all. In Germany, you are responsible for switching the Speed Cameras service on or off. The issue
of the legality of using speed camera services in Germany and other EU countries is not unique. You
therefore use this service at your own risk. TomTom accepts no liability arising from the use of this
service.

Dashboard adhesive disks are available as part of a range of accessories for your TomTom GO
Camper. For more information, go to tomtom.com/accessories.

interfere with any of the following:
Your view of the road.
The controls in your vehicle.
Your rear-view mirrors.
The airbags.

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

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 Camper, 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 Camper, 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 Camper 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
Camper 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).
Sending information to TomTom
When you first start navigating or you have reset your TomTom GO Camper, your TomTom GO
Camper asks for permission to collect some information about your use of the navigation device.
The information is stored on your TomTom GO Camper 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.

13
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 Camper 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 Camper 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 Camper
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 Camper begins to restart.
Charging your device
The battery in your TomTom GO Camper charges when you connect it to your TomTom vehicle
charger, to your computer or to a USB Home Charger.
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
Camper goes into sleep mode.
Important: On device models START 42/52, START 40/50/60, and GO 51/61, the screen intentional-
ly 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 Camper. Other USB cables may not
work.

14
Caring for your TomTom GO Camper
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.

15

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.

About Wi-Fi®
The easiest way to manage your maps, software and all your device content is over a Wi-Fi
connection.
Your device can be updated using Wi-Fi without the need to connect to a computer. It remembers
previously connected Wi-Fi networks so you can keep your device up to date when you are in range
of that network.
Before you begin, make sure that you have access to an unrestricted Wi-Fi network, such as a
personal home network. Please be aware that updating over a public Wi-Fi network, such as in an
airport or hotel, is not recommended because the updates can be large and the network connection
may not be stable.
Tip: If you don’t have access to a Wi-Fi network or your Wi-Fi network is slow or not stable, you
can use a USB connection to update using MyDrive Connect on your computer.
Connecting to Wi-Fi
Important: Wi-Fi connections that require a web sign-in are not supported on the TomTom GO
Camper. These types of Wi-Fi connections are frequently found in public places, for example in
hotels, shops and restaurants.
To connect to a Wi-Fi network, do the following:
1. Select Settings in the Main Menu, then select Wi-Fi.
You see a list of available Wi-Fi networks and saved Wi-Fi networks that are currently out of
range.
Tip: Scroll down to go to the list of out-of-range saved networks.
2. Select the Wi-Fi network that you want to connect to. If the network is secure enter the
password. If no password is required, you are connected straight away.
Tip: For advanced options for a Wi-Fi network see Wi-Fi in the Settings menu.
3. Select Done, then select Connect.
It may take a few moments for your device to connect to the Wi-Fi network. If it takes too long,
please check the identity and password you used for the Wi-Fi network.
Once your device has successfully connected to the Wi-Fi network, you see the status Connected
under the Wi-Fi network name.
Forgetting a Wi-Fi network
To forget a Wi-Fi network from your list of available networks do the following:
