Before You Start...

Switching on and off

To switch your TomTom GO on or off, press and hold the On/Off button for 2

seconds. The first time you switch on, it may take a short while for your device

to start.

Note: In rare cases, your GO may not start correctly. If this happens, press the

reset button, then switch on the device again.

Setting up

To set up your TomTom GO you need to answer a few questions by tapping

the screen.

Important: Take care to select the correct language, since the language you

choose will be used for all menus and written instructions.

Battery notes

We recommend that you fully charge your TomTom GO the first time that you

connect it to your computer. It takes up to 2 hours to charge the battery

completely.

When you place your GO in the Home Dock or use the USB cable to connect

to your computer, you are asked if you wish to connect to the computer. If you

select No, the device will switch off if you do not tap the screen for three

minutes. This happens so that the battery can recharge at a faster rate.

For information on connecting to your computer, see Using TomTom HOME

on page 94.

Note: Your TomTom GO uses a small amount of battery power to remember

the last screen being shown when the device is switched off.

If you do not charge your GO for a prolonged period of time, the next time you

start your GO it will show the default starting screen. All other device settings

will still be maintained.

Improving reception

If your TomTom GO takes longer than 5 minutes to find your current position,

make sure that the device is in an open space away from tall objects such as

buildings or trees.
