Before you start
Switching on and off
Install your TomTom GO navigation device in your car following the instruc-
tions in the installation section at the start of this book.
To switch on your navigation device, press and hold the On/Off button until
you see the start-up screen. The first time you switch on your device, it may
take a short time to start.
Setting up
When you first switch on your device, you have to answer a few questions to
set up the device. Answer the questions by tapping the screen.
You are asked whether you make regular trips to the same locations. If you tap
YES, you can enter these destinations as your favourite destinations. Every
time you switch on your device, you can immediately select one of these loca-
tions as your destination.
To change these destinations or select a new destination, tap Start-up
preferences in the Preferences menu, then select Ask for a destination.
Device not starting
In rare cases, your TomTom GO navigation device may not start correctly or
may stop responding to your taps.
First, check that the battery is properly charged. To charge the battery, con-
nect your device to the car charger. It can take up to 2 hours to fully charge the
battery.
If this does not solve the problem, you can reset the device. To do this, press
and hold the On/Off button for 15 seconds and release the button when your
device begins to restart.
Battery notes
The battery in your TomTom GO navigation device charges when you connect
it to the car charger or to your computer.
When you connect your device to a computer, you are asked if you want to
connect to the computer. If you select No and then do not tap the screen
within three minutes, the device will automatically switch off. This happens so
that the battery can charge faster.
Note: You should plug the USB connector directly into a USB port on your
computer and not into a USB hub or USB port on a keyboard or monitor.
