To attach the Dock, insert the base of the dock into the dash plug on the car dashboard or A-pillar. To insert your navigation device into the dock, push the button on the front of the dock to open the top bracket. Place the bottom of the device into the dock and then push the top bracket of the dock down until it clicks into place. To adjust the position of the device, unscrew the knob on the back of the device to adjust the position using the ball joint and fix it by tightening the knob. Alternatively, press the left and right buttons on the shaft of the dock to rotate the device in the vertical direction. To remove the navigation device, press the button on the front of the dock and lift the navigation device out. To release the dock from the dashboard, push the lower button on each side of the shaft and pull out the dock. Switching on and off To switch on your navigation device manually, press and hold the On/Off button until you see the start-up screen. The first time you switch on your navigation device, it may take a short time to start. Your Blue&Me-TomTom 2 navigation device starts automatically as soon as it is powered by the dock. To set up your navigation device you need to answer a few questions by tapping the screen. You then need to connect your navigation device to Blue&Me in your car. Note: Your dealer may have connected your navigation device to Blue&Me for you. If this is the case, you can already start using your device. Setting up Important: Take care to select the correct language as the language you choose will be used for all text on the screen. 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. GPS reception When you first start your Blue&Me-TomTom 2 LIVE 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. Read me first
10 To ensure good GPS reception, you should use your device outdoors and keep your device upright. Large objects such as tall buildings can sometimes interfere with reception. GPS reception can also be affected if the device is placed flat on a surface or held flat in your hand.
