Important Safety Notices and Warnings
Global Positioning System
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite-based system that provides location and timing information
around the globe. GPS is operated and controlled under the sole responsibility of the Government of the United
States of America, which is responsible for its availability and accuracy. Any changes in GPS availability and
accuracy, or in environmental conditions, may impact the operation of your TomTom device. TomTom does not
accept any liability for the availability and accuracy of GPS.
Use with Care
Use of a TomTom device for navigation still means that you need to drive with due care and attention.
Aircraft and Hospitals
Use of devices with an antenna is prohibited on most aircraft, in many hospitals and in many other locations. A
TomTom device must not be used in these environments.
Taking care of your TomTom device
Do not leave your TomTom device or TomTom accessories on view when you leave your car. They may become an easy
target for thieves. You can set a password for your device which must be entered every time you start your device. We
recommend that you use the safety preferences on your TomTom device, where available. The safety preferences are
available in the Preferences menu. Take care of your TomTom device and clean it correctly.
• Use a soft cloth to wipe the screen of your device; do not use any liquid cleaners.
• If your device gets wet, dry it with a soft cloth.
• Do not open the casing of your device under any circumstances. Doing so may be dangerous and will invalidate
your warranty.
• Do not use the memory card (SD card) with any device other than a TomTom device. Other devices may damage
the memory card.

• Do not expose your device to high or low temperatures, which can cause permanent damage.
For example, don't leave it in the car on hot summer days or during cold winter nights.

put, store or leave your product in or near a heat source, in a high temperature location, in strong direct sunlight,
in a microwave oven or in a pressurized container, and do not expose it to temperatures over 60 C (140 F). Failure
to follow these guidelines may cause the Lithium-Polymer battery to leak acid, become hot, explode or ignite and
cause injury and/or damage. Do not pierce, open or disassemble the battery. If the battery leaks and you come into
contact with the leaked fluids, rinse thoroughly with water and seek medical attention immediately. For safety
reasons, and to prolong the lifetime of the battery, charging will not occur at low (below 0 C/32 F) or high (over
45 C/113 F) temperatures.
