Active Dock
Use the Active Dock to install your TomTom GO inside your car.
Make sure that both the Active Dock and your windscreen are clean and dry
before you attach the holder. Place the Active Dock so that it does not interfere
with your view of the road or of any of the controls in your car.
To attach the Active Dock, press the suction cup firmly against the windscreen
on an area where the glass is flat. Then twist the rubber grip near the base of
the Active Dock in a clockwise direction until you hear a click.
GPS reception
When you first start your TomTom GO navigation device, the device may
need a few minutes to determine your GPS position and show your current
position on the map. In future, your position will be found much faster, usually
within a few seconds.
To ensure good GPS reception, you should use your device outdoors. Large
objects such as tall buildings can sometimes interfere with reception.
The TomTom GO 950 includes Enhanced Positioning Technology or EPT. EPT
automatically estimates your position when the GPS signal is lost while you
are driving, such as when you are in a tunnel. When EPT is in use, the EPT
symbol is shown in the Driving View.
Safety Notice
Your TomTom navigation device contains 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 others.
Do not use near unprotected electrical units or in areas where the use of
mobile telephones is prohibited, such as hospitals and airplanes.
Take care of your device
Never leave your TomTom GO navigation device or accessories on view when
you leave the car as they may become an easy target for thieves.
You can set a password which must be entered every time you start your
device.
It is important to take care of your device.
• Your device is not designed for use in extreme temperatures and any such
exposure may cause permanent damage.
• Do not open the casing of your device under any circumstances. Doing so
may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
• Wipe or dry the screen of your device using a soft cloth. Do not use any liq-
uid cleaners.
