Safety Notice
Some navigation devices contain a GSM/GPRS module which can interfere with electrical devices
such as cardiac pacemakers, hearing aids and aviation equipment.
Interference with these devices may endanger the health or life of you or others.
If your device includes a GSM/GPRS module, do not use it near unprotected electrical units or in
areas where the use of mobile telephones is prohibited, such as hospitals and aircraft.
Setting up
Note: The language you choose will be used for all text on the screen. You can always change the
language later in Language and Units in the Settings menu.
When you first switch on your TomTom GO, you have to answer a few questions to set it up. Answer
the questions by touching the screen.
GPS reception
When you first start your TomTom GO, it may need a few minutes to determine your position. In
future, your position will be found much faster.
To ensure good satellite reception, use your GO outdoors and keep it upright. Large objects such as
tall buildings can sometimes interfere with reception.
Important: QuickGPSfix contains information about satellite positions which helps your GO find your
position faster. QuickGPSfix information is sent to Always Connected devices in real time and to
Smartphone Connected devices when connected to TomTom services using your smartphone. You
can also update QuickGPSfix using MyDrive.
Sending information to TomTom
When you first start navigating or you have reset your GO, your GO asks for permission to collect
some information about your use of the navigation device. The information is stored on your GO
until we retrieve it. We use it anonymously to improve our products and services. If you use our
services, we will also use your location information to deliver the services to you.
You can change whether you send this information with us at any time by doing the following:
1. In the Main Menu, select the Settings button.
2. Select System.
3. Select Your information.
4. Select the button to turn sending of information on or off.
