1. Getting Started

1.1 Unpacking

Unpack your TomTom GO box and identify the

contents. You should have:

• (1) TomTom GO itself. Its main features are a

touch-sensitive LCD screen, a power (On/Off)

button, a release button (for removing TomTom

GO from its cradle) and a Secure Digital (SD)

memory card slot.

• A (2) carry case, for storing TomTom GO when it's

not in your vehicle.

• An (3) AC adapter, included for you to charge and

work with TomTom GO even when it's not in your

vehicle. Note that this comes with several inter-

national pin adapters, for use anywhere in the

world. When you use the adaptor, please make

sure it is cooled by placing it in a ventilated area.

• An (4) SD card, containing map data.

• An (5) installation poster, showing how to

assemble the cradle, how to fix it to your wind-

screen and how to insert TomTom GO.

• An (6) installation CD, containing PC connection

software and extra maps.

• The component parts of a suction-mount (7/8)

cradle, for attaching to your windscreen.

• A (9) DC power lead, with 12V cigarette lighter

adapter. This is the normal way of providing

power to TomTom GO when it's in your vehicle.

• A (10) USB data cable for connecting TomTom GO

to a Windows PC.

• This (11) manual.

• A (12) registration card. You can use it to register

your unit or, if you prefer, enter the same infor-

mation online at www.tomtom.com

Do not expose TomTom GO to high temperatures.

We recommend that you do not leave TomTom GO

in direct sunlight for long periods or in an

unattended car on sunny days. High temperatures

can cause permanent damage.

Do not attempt to service TomTom GO yourself! Do

not open, puncture or disassemble it. Doing so may

be dangerous and will invalidate your warranty.

1.2 Assembly

To get started, assemble the suction-mount cradle

as shown in the installation poster. Place the cradle

in a suitable location on your windscreen or side

window and push the black plastic lever away

from you, fixing the cradle in position.

Note that some newer vehicles may have a heat

reflective shield embedded in the windscreen. In

some cases this can prevent proper GPS signal

reception. If this turns out to be a problem in your

vehicle, you will need to purchase and install the

TomTom active antenna kit.

You don't have to use the cradle if you don't want

to. If necessary, TomTom GO can be positioned on

its own anywhere that's convenient, provided that

it's safely secured.

Under normal journey conditions, the suction mount

is perfectly sufficient to hold the cradle in position.

Note that suction may be lost if left overnight, due

to condensation and low temperature. For this

reason, and for security, we recommend removing

both the suction mount cradle and TomTom GO

when leaving your vehicle overnight.

To remove the cradle, pull the suction mount lever

towards you. If the cradle still doesn't detach from

your windscreen, tug gently on the clear plastic

tab at the edge of the suction mount, to break the

vacuum seal.

Plug the small plug end of the DC power lead into

the socket on the back of the cradle. Plug the

other end into your vehicle's 12V (cigarette lighter)

socket.

To activate your 12V socket, you may need to use

your ignition key in an 'Accessories' position.

Please consult your vehicle handbook.

Note that TomTom GO contains its own internal

rechargeable battery. For short journeys it may

be possible to do without the DC power lead for

simpler and tidier operation.

Ease TomTom Go onto its cradle by locating its

front edge first and then rotating back firmly until

you hear a click. You'll feel TomTom GO lock into

place. The green LED on TomTom GO's front panel

will light up if the cradle is also connected to your

vehicle's 12V socket.

To adjust the angle of TomTom GO, slacken the

three adjustable knobs on the cradle and then turn

it gently. In addition to tilting the cradle up and

down and from side to side, you can also rotate

TomTom GO in the cradle, from left to right, ±45°.

When you're happy, tighten up the three knobs

again.

After using TomTom GO, remove it from the cradle

by pressing the release button while rotating the

unit forward gently. Put it in the supplied bag. If

you want to clean it, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not

use water or a solvent.
