Before You Start ...
Important: You are currently reading the
Quick Start Guide. There is afull version
ofthe
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 acomputer,
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 heat reflective
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 itdoes not
interfere with your view of the road.
