Backing up

Select 'Backup/restore settings' to make a backup copy of your Home and Favorite locations,

plus your TomTom system Preferences. In the event of trouble, all of these can be restored to your

device, potentially saving you a lot of time and effort setting things up again.

Voice prompts and more

You can add extra voice prompts by selecting 'Add/remove extra features' and then 'Add a

voice prompt', provided there is room on your memory card. Use 'Remove a voice prompt' to

delete a voice that you don't want anymore, to save space.

The option 'Install free demos, etc.' will take you online, to www.tomtom.com.

Other selections

The remaining selections, 'Read the manual', 'Visit www.tomtom.com' and 'Quit' are all self-

explanatory.

Connecting to your phone

If you have a Bluetooth-capable mobile phone then you can use your TomTom GO 700 or GO 500 as

a hands-free car kit. Although some functions are dependent on your phone's capabilities, you

should usually be able to:

Accept incoming calls on the TomTom GO screen with a single tap of the screen.

See that a new SMS message has arrived and read its contents, again with a single tap.

Dial out, using contact details retrieved from your phone's SIM card.

Get your call history, contact phone numbers and SMS messages from your phone.
