9 Positioning the device Consider carefully where to install your TomTom navigation device in your car. The navigation device should not block or interfere with any of the following: Your view of the road Any of the controls in your car Any of your mirrors Any airbags When your navigation device is installed, you should be able to reach the device easily without leaning or stretching. You can attach the device to the windscreen or you can use a Dashboard Mount Disk to attach the mount to your dashboard. Dashboard Mount Disks are included with some products and are available as accessories. The following diagrams show where you can safely attach the mount. TomTom also offers alternative mounting solutions for your TomTom navigation device. For more information about Dashboard Mount Disks and alternative mounting solutions, go to tomtom.com/accessories. Installing in your car Use the mount provided with your device to install your TomTom device in your vehicle. You can attach your device to your windscreen or use a Dashboard Mount Disk to attach your device to your dashboard. See the printed installation instructions included with your product for more information. Read the instructions about positioning your device before you install your device. To install your device, do the following: 1. Choose the best location to mount your TomTom device. The location should be as smooth as possible. 2. If you are using the Dashboard Mounting Disk, clean the dashboard and install the disk. 3. Make sure that both the suction cup on the mount and your windscreen or disk are clean and dry. 4. Press the suction cup of the mount firmly against your windscreen or disk. 5. Turn the rubber grip near the base of the mount in a clockwise direction until you feel it lock. 6. If your mount is not integrated into your device, place your device in the mount, making sure that it clicks into place. Read me first
10 7. Plug the USB car charger into the power supply on your dashboard. 8. Connect the USB cable to the car charger and your device. Your navigation device is now installed. The next step is to switch it on and answer a few ques- tions. Switching on and off 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, you have to hold the button down for up to 15 seconds. 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 TomTom 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 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. Micro-SD card slot Some types of TomTom navigation devices have a micro-SD card slot that is located on the side or on the bottom of the device. Before you use the memory card slot, make sure that you have the latest version of the application installed on your navigation device by connecting to MyDrive. When your device is up-to-date, you can use a memory card as extra storage space to add extra maps to your device. Maps can be purchased from tomtom.com. About MyDrive MyDrive is a web-based tool that helps you manage the contents and services of your TomTom navigation device. You use MyDrive to get map updates as well as lots of other things. You log in to MyDrive on the TomTom website. It is a good idea to frequently connect your navigation device to MyDrive to ensure you always have the latest updates. Tip: We recommend using a broadband internet connection whenever you connect your navi- gation device to MyDrive.
