Important Safety Notices and Warnings
Global Positioning System
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite-based system that provides 
location and timing information around the globe. GPS is operated and 
controlled under the sole responsibility of the Government of the United 
States of America, which is responsible for its availability and accuracy. Any 
changes in GPS availability and accuracy, or in environmental conditions, may 
impact the operation of your TomTom device. TomTom does not accept any 
liability for the availability and accuracy of GPS.
Use with Care
Use of a TomTom device for navigation still means that you need to drive with 
due care and attention. 
Aircraft and Hospitals
Use of devices with an antenna is prohibited on most aircraft, in many 
hospitals and in many other locations. A TomTom device must not be used in 
these environments.
Taking care of your TomTom device
Do not leave your TomTom device or TomTom accessories on view when you 
leave your car. They may become an easy target for thieves.
You can set a password for your device which must be entered every time you 
start your device.
We recommend that you use the safety preferences on your TomTom device, 
where available. The safety preferences are available in the Preferences menu.
Take care of your TomTom device and clean it correctly.
• Use a soft cloth to wipe the screen of your device; do not use any liquid 
cleaners.
• If your device gets wet, dry it with a soft cloth.
• Do not open the casing of your device under any circumstances. Doing so 
may be dangerous and will invalidate your warranty.
• Do not use the memory card (SD card) with any device other than a 
TomTom device. Other devices may damage the memory card.
• Do not expose your device to high or low temperatures, which can cause 
permanent damage. For example, don’t leave it in the car on hot summer 
days or during cold winter nights.

Battery
This product uses a Lithium-Polymer battery. Do not use it in a humid, wet 
and/or corrosive environment. Do not put, store or leave your product in or 
near a heat source, in a high temperature location, in strong direct sunlight, in 
a microwave oven or in a pressurized container, and do not expose it to 
temperatures over 60 C (140 F). Failure to follow these guidelines may cause 
the Lithium-Polymer battery to leak acid, become hot, explode or ignite and 
cause injury and/or damage. Do not pierce, open or disassemble the battery. 
If the battery leaks and you come into contact with the leaked fluids, rinse 
thoroughly with water and seek medical attention immediately. For safety 
reasons, and to prolong the lifetime of the battery, charging will not occur at 
low (below 0C/32F) or high (over 45C/113F) temperatures. 
Temperatures: Standard operation: -10 C (14 F) to +55 C (131 F); short period 
storage: -20 C (-4 F) to + 60 C (140 F); long period storage: -20 C (-4 F) to 
+25 C (77 F).
THE LITHIUM-POLYMER BATTERY CONTAINED IN THE PRODUCT 
MUST BE RECYCLED OR DISPOSED OF PROPERLY. USE YOUR 
TOMTOM ONLY WITH THE SUPPLIED DC POWER LEAD (CAR 
CHARGER/BATTERY CABLE) AND AC ADAPTER (HOME CHARGER) 
FOR BATTERY CHARGING.
To recycle your TomTom unit please see your local approved TomTom 
service center.
The stated battery life is a maximum possible battery life. The maximum 
battery life will only be achieved under specific atmospheric conditions. The 
estimated maximum battery life is based on an average usage profile.

California should not use a suction mount on their windshield, side or rear 
windows.
Note: this section of the California Vehicle Code applies to anyone driving in 
California, not just California residents.
Minnesota State Legislature Statutes Section 169.71, subdivision 1, section 2

							83
between the driver and the windshield other than sun visors and rearview

TomTom Inc. bears no responsibility for any fines, penalties or damage that 
may be incurred by disregarding this notice.  While driving in any state with 
windshield mounting restrictions, TomTom recommends the use of the

FCC Information for the User
This product contains a transmitter which must not be co-located or 
simultaneously operated in conjunction with any other transmitter.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation
This device complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an 
uncontrolled environment. In order to avoid the possibility of exceeding the 
FCC radio frequency exposure limits, human proximity to the antenna shall 
not be less than 8 inches (20 cm) during normal operation.
Radio and Television Interference
This equipment radiates radio frequency energy and if not used properly - that 
is, in strict accordance with the instructions in this manual - may cause 
interference to radio communications and television reception.
This device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B 
digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed 
to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential 
installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency 
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may 
cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no 
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this 
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, 
which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is 
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following 
measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation distance between the equipment and the receiver. 
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to 
which the receiver is connected.
• Consult an experienced radio/TV technician for help. 
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for 
compliance could void the user‘s authority to operate the equipment.
Important
This equipment was tested for FCC compliance under conditions that included 
the use of shielded cables and connectors between it and the peripherals. It is 
important that you use shielded cables and connectors to reduce the 
possibility of causing radio and television interference. Shielded cables 
suitable for the product range can be obtained from an authorised dealer. If 
the user modifies the equipment or its peripherals in any way, and these 
modifications are not approved by TomTom, the FCC may withdraw the user’s 
right to operate the equipment. For customers in the USA, the following 
booklet prepared by the Federal Communications Commission may be of 
help: “How to Identify and Resolve Radio-TV Interference Problems”. This
