Important Safety Notices and Warnings
1. 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, who are responsible for its availability and accuracy.
Any changes in GPS availability and accuracy, or in environmental conditions, may impact the
operation of your TomTom RIDER. TomTom B.V. cannot accept any liability for the availability and
accuracy of GPS.
2. Use with Care
Use of TomTom RIDER for navigation still means that you need to drive with due care and
attention.
3. Aircraft and Hospitals
Use of devices with an antenna is prohibited on most aircraft, in many hospitals and in many
other locations. TomTom RIDER must not be used in these environments.
4. Battery
This product uses a Lithium-Ion battery. Do not use it in a humid, wet and/or corrosive
environment. Do not 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-Ion 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/110 F) temperatures.
Temperatures: Standard operation: - 10 C to + 55 C; short period storage: - 20 C to + 60 C; long
period storage: - 20 C to + 25 C.
5. Mounting TomTom RIDER
Extreme care must be taken when mounting TomTom RIDER on a motorcycle. Read the
description in the Quick Start Guide carefully before mounting TomTom RIDER on your motorcycle.
TomTom Rider shall be mounted in compliance with the relevant legislation and the vehicle
manufacturer's rules. Failure to mount TomTom RIDER correctly could result in damage to your
vehicle and serious injury to the vehicle rider and other road users. TomTom RIDER is mounted on
your motorcycle at your own risk.
6. Battery cable
The power cable shall be routed to avoid sharp bends, abrasion, overheating, exhaust gases and
battery acids and other potential hazards. It must not be strained nor distorted by e.g. excessive
tightening of cable ties. Ensure that all connections are mechanically and electrically safe and
secure. Keep away from heat sources and vehicle controls. It must not hinder the operation of
safety equipment nor interfere with the driver’s ability to control the vehicle.
