device and a Bluetooth device that has the same passkey.

GPS receiver?

Should I keep my device and the receiver connected to the vehicle power adapter while they are in use?

If your device is fully charged, it can run for about four to five hours in the car. For longer trips, it is a good idea to keep the vehicle power adapter connected to keep both your device and the receiver charged. This prevents the batteries from getting too low for the Bluetooth connection to function.

Where can I get customer support if I need it?

See the TomTom Quick Start Guide included in this package for detailed information about NAVIGATOR 5 features. If you still need help, refer to the support section of the TomTom website at www.tomtom.com

Safety Information

Please read the following information to ensure safe use of the GPS Navigator.

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 may impact the operation of your GPS receiver. Environmental conditions will affect the operation of your GPS receiver. TomTom B.V. and Palm cannot accept any liability for the availability and accuracy of GPS.

Use With Care

Use of a GPS receiver for navigation does not by any means substitute for the need to drive with due care and attention.

WARNING!

Do not mount the GPS Navigator where the driver’s field of vision is obscured or where airbags may deploy, and do not place it on the dashboard without securing it reliably. Do not mount the unit or route the cables in such a way as to interfere with control of the vehicle. Failure to follow these guidelines could result in an accident or collision resulting in serious injury or death.

Drive safely using information from street signs and landmarks in addition to the GPS Navigator. Do not become distracted by the GPS Navigator while operating the vehicle. Use voice prompts to minimize the need to look at the display. Do not input destinations or access other functions that take time to complete unless the

vehicle is safely stopped. Make all settings before departing or pull off the road in a safe and legal manner if changes need to be made.

CAUTION

Use GPS Navigator only as an aid to navigation. It is not designed for any use requiring precise measurements. The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the government of the United States of America and is subject to changes which could affect the accuracy and performance of this GPS equipment.

NOTICE TO DRIVERS

When using this product you must obey your local vehicle codes. Some vehicle codes restrict any object or material from being placed, displayed, installed, affixed, or applied upon the windshield or side or rear windows. Where such codes exist, when using this product, the suction cup mount pad should be used instead of attaching the mount directly to the vehicle windshield or side or rear windows. Palm is not responsible for any damages, fines, or penalties that may result from disregarding this notice.

Aircraft and Hospitals

Use of devices with an antenna is prohibited on most aircraft, in many hospitals, and in many other locations. The GPS receiver must not be used in these environments.

Safety Information

Heat-Reflective Shields

Some newer-model vehicles may have a heat-reflective shield embedded in the windshield, which may prevent proper GPS signal reception if the receiver is placed behind the windshield. To enable proper reception:

• Place the receiver in a different position, or

• Place the receiver behind the rearview mirror, where many vehicles have an opening in the heat reflective shield, as indicated by a black outline.

Protect the receiver from excessive heat, extreme cold, dust, liquids, and direct sunlight. Do not use in a humid environment or on an unstable surface. Make sure the receiver is always securely mounted to prevent accidental movement. Handle all parts, cables, and connectors with care. Use only supplied and recommended accessories and power supplies. Ensure that any power supply is cooled by placing it in a ventilated area. The power supply and the receiver unit may become warm or hot during operation.
