Mounting on a motorcycle
Installing your Rider
1. Attach the RAM™ mount kit to your motorcycle.
2. Fix the holder to the mount and connect the wires to your motorcycle's wiring system.
Important: The red POS (+) contact needs to be connected to the motorcycle's wiring loom at
a point between the ignition and the +12V battery supply. The black NEG (-) wire needs to be
connected to the motorcycle's wiring loom at a point between the ignition and the -(GND)
battery supply. Attach to a 12V point that can be switched off by the ignition such as the light
circuit.
When you are attaching the mount kit to your motorcycle, follow these guidelines:
If you are unsure about attaching the mount kit yourself, ask a professional to fit it for you.
If you choose to attach the mount kit yourself, note that the Active Dock has a built-in fuse.
This means that you don’t need to add a fuse between the device and the motorcycle battery.
Make sure that the mount kit does not interfere with any of the controls on the motorcycle.
Always use the correct tools. If you use unsuitable tools, you may damage or break the
mount kit.
10
Do not overtighten nuts and screws. You may crack parts of the mount kit or damage your
handlebars if you overtighten nuts or screws.
If you are using the u-bolt, don’t forget to put the rubber caps provided over the exposed
threads.
Important: Damage due to modifications, improper installation, road hazards or accident, are
not covered. Neither RAM nor TomTom shall be liable for any injury, loss, or damage, direct or
con-sequential, arising out of improper installation, or inability to use product. Before use, the
user shall determine the suitability of the product for its intended use. The user assumes all
risk and liability, whatsoever, in connection with the mount.
3. Place your TomTom Rider in the holder.
4. You can rotate your device by ninety degrees to get your preferred view.
Using the anti-theft solution
If your box includes an anti-theft solution, it is supplied in two parts:
11
A RAM lock for the mount.
This lock prevents the unscrewing of the RAM arm from the motorcycle.
A RAM Pin-Lock™ for the TomTom Rider itself.
This lock prevents the disconnection of the TomTom Rider from the dock.
Important: Both locks have keys so you need to make sure that you keep these two extra keys with
you at all times!
To use the anti-theft solution, do the following:
1. Lock the RAM mount to your motorcycle as shown below.
Note: Make sure you use the longer screws provided with your Rider lock.
2. Unscrew the wingnut from the RAM arm.
12
3. Attach the RAM Pin-Lock.
4. Attach the RAM arm to the RAM mount and the active dock.
13
5. Attach the RAM Pin-Lock cap on to the RAM Pin-Lock.
6. Tighten the RAM Pin-Lock as shown.
7. Remove the RAM Pin-Lock cap.
14
8. Lock your TomTom Rider with the key to prevent removal from the mount
Installing in your car
If your box contains a car mount, use the supplied mount to install your TomTom Rider in your
vehicle. Read the instructions about positioning your device before you install your Rider.
If your box contains a car mount, install your Rider by doing the following:
1. Connect the supplied USB cable to the mount.
Note: Use ONLY the USB cable supplied with your Rider. Other USB cables may not work.
2. Connect the USB cable to any of the USB sockets on the USB dual charger and plug this into the
power supply on your dashboard.
3. Choose the best smooth location, on your windshield or side window, to mount your TomTom
Rider.
4. Make sure that both the suction cup on the mount and your windscreen are clean and dry.
5. Press the suction cup of the mount firmly against your windscreen.
15
6. Turn the grip near the base of the mount in a clockwise direction until you feel it lock.
7. Place your Rider in the mount, making sure that it clicks into place.
Tip: With the High-Speed Dual Charger you can charge your TomTom Rider and smartphone at
the same time.
Switching on and off
Switching your device on
Press the On/Off button until your device starts. If the device was off you see the map view. If your
device was sleeping you see the last screen you were looking at.
Sending your device to sleep
To send your navigation device to sleep, press the On/Off button and then release it.
You can also press the On/Off button for more than 2 seconds until you see the Sleep and Turn Off
buttons. Select Sleep to make the device sleep.
Tip: To send your navigation device to sleep when the USB cable is unplugged or whenever it is
removed from the mount, go to Battery settings in the Settings menu.
Switching your device off completely
To switch off your navigation device completely, you can do one of the following:
Press and hold the On/Off button for more than 2 seconds until you see the Sleep and Turn Off
buttons. Select Turn Off to switch off the device. Select the "back" button if you don't want to
switch your device off.
Press and hold the On/Off button for more than 5 seconds until the device switches off.
16
Setting up
Note: The language you choose will be used for all text on the screen. You can always change the
language later in Language and Units in the Settings menu.
When you first switch on your TomTom Rider, you have to answer a few questions to set it up.
Answer the questions by touching the screen.
GPS reception
When you first start your TomTom Rider, it may need a few minutes to determine your position. In
future, your position will be found much faster.
To ensure good satellite reception, use your Rider outdoors and keep it upright. Large objects such
as tall buildings can sometimes interfere with reception.
Important: QuickGPSfix contains information about satellite positions which helps your Rider find
your position faster. QuickGPSfix information is sent to Always Connected devices in real time and
to Smartphone Connected devices when connected to TomTom services using your smartphone. You
can also update QuickGPSfix using MyDrive.
Sending information to TomTom
When you first start navigating or you have reset your Rider, your Rider asks for permission to
collect some information about your use of the navigation device. The information is stored on your
Rider until we retrieve it. We use it anonymously to improve our products and services. If you use
our services, we will also use your location information to deliver the services to you.
You can change whether you send this information with us at any time by doing the following:
1. In the Main Menu, select the Settings button.
2. Select System.
3. Select Your information & privacy.
4. Select the button to turn sending of information on or off.
Note: If you choose not to send location information to us, you will no longer receive our
services. This is because services need to send the location of your device to TomTom in order to
receive the traffic information related to where you are. The end date of your subscription
remains the same, even if you do not send this information to us.
You can find current and more detailed information at tomtom.com/privacy.
Memory card slot
Some TomTom navigation devices have a memory card slot that is located on the side or 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 using a computer.
When your Rider is up-to-date, you can use a memory card as extra storage space to add extra maps
or to store routes and tracks to your device. Maps can be purchased from tomtom.com.
Important: Routes and tracks cannot be stored on the same memory card as maps because different
memory card formatting is used.
Device not starting
In rare cases, your Rider device may not start correctly or may stop responding to your taps.
17
First, check that the battery is charged. To charge the battery, connect your Rider device to the car
charger. It can take 3 - 5 hours to fully charge the battery depending on the type of device.
Important: Do not charge your device using your vehicle's own USB port because it is not powerful
enough.
If this does not solve the problem, you can perform a reset. To do this, press and hold the On/Off
button until your Rider begins to restart.
Charging your device
The battery in your TomTom Rider charges when you connect it to your TomTom vehicle charger, to
your computer or to a USB Home Charger.
Important: Do not charge your device using your vehicle's own USB port because it is not powerful
enough.
You are warned when the battery level is low or critical. You lose your connection to some TomTom
services when the battery level is low or critical. When the battery is empty, your Rider goes into
sleep mode.
Important: On device models START 42/52, START 40/50/60, and GO 51/61, the screen intentionally dims when you connect your device to your computer. The screen also dims if you use a
non-TomTom charger that does not provide enough power when charging.
Note: Use ONLY the USB cable supplied with your Rider. Other USB cables may not work.
Caring for your Rider
It is important to take care of your device:
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 liquid cleaners.
18
We recommend using a headset with your TomTom Rider to hear spoken instructions, and to hear
Connecting a headset
warning sounds on your Rider. You can also use your headset for making and receiving calls in
conjunction with your phone. This makes riding with your Rider as safe as possible.
Note: To hear voice instructions as well as phone calls, your headset must support multiple
channels. For more information and a full list of compatible headsets, go to Headset Compatibil-
ity.
The instructions below describe how to connect a Bluetooth® headset:
1. Make sure your headset is fully charged using the charger supplied with your headset.
2. Switch on the headset and make it discoverable by following the user instructions supplied with
your headset.
3. From the Main Menu, select Settings.
4. Select Bluetooth.
5. Select Add Headset.
6. Select Continue and then Search for Headset and follow the instructions to establish the
connection.
7. Attach your headset to your helmet following the instructions in your headset manual.
Make sure you position the microphone correctly. For best results, don’t position the microphone directly in front of your mouth, position it just to the side of your mouth.
Important: When using a headset, the volume control may not be available because your headset
doesn't support remote volume control. If this is the case, use the volume control button on the
headset itself to change the volume.

About Wi-Fi®
Wi-Fi connection
The easiest way to manage your maps, software and all your device content is over a Wi-Fi
connection.
Your device can be updated using Wi-Fi without the need to connect to a computer. It remembers
previously connected Wi-Fi networks so you can keep your device up to date when you are in range
of that network.
Before you begin, make sure that you have access to an unrestricted Wi-Fi network, such as a
personal home network. Please be aware that updating over a public Wi-Fi network, such as in an
airport or hotel, is not recommended because the updates can be large and the network connection
may not be stable.
Tip: If you don’t have access to a Wi-Fi network or your Wi-Fi network is slow or not stable, you
can use a USB connection to update using MyDrive Connect on your computer.
Connecting to Wi-Fi
Important: Wi-Fi connections that require a web sign-in are not supported on the Rider. These types
of Wi-Fi connections are frequently found in public places, for example in hotels, shops and
restaurants.
To connect to a Wi-Fi network, do the following:
1. Select Settings in the Main Menu, then select Wi-Fi.
You see a list of available Wi-Fi networks and saved Wi-Fi networks that are currently out of
range.
Tip: Scroll down to go to the list of out-of-range saved networks.
2. Select the Wi-Fi network that you want to connect to. If the network is secure enter the
password. If no password is required, you are connected straight away.
Tip: For advanced options for a Wi-Fi network see Wi-Fi in the Settings menu.
3. Select Done, then select Connect.
It may take a few moments for your device to connect to the Wi-Fi network. If it takes too long,
please check the identity and password you used for the Wi-Fi network.
Once your device has successfully connected to the Wi-Fi network, you see the status Connected
under the Wi-Fi network name.
Forgetting a Wi-Fi network
To forget a Wi-Fi network from your list of available networks do the following:
24
1. Select Settings in the Main Menu, then select Wi-Fi.

2. Select the Wi-Fi network that you want to forget.
3. Select Modify then select Forget.
Your device is disconnected from the Wi-Fi network.
Note: The Wi-Fi network still appears in the list, but your device will not automatically connect to it.

Traffic
TomTom Traffic is a TomTom service providing real-time traffic information.
In combination with historical road usage data, TomTom Traffic helps you plan the optimum route
to your destination taking into account the current local traffic conditions and the weather.
Your TomTom Rider regularly receives information about the changing traffic conditions. If traffic
jams, heavy rain, snow or other incidents are found on your current route, your Rider will offer to
replan your route to try and avoid any delays.
Important: When you approach a faster alternative route, you get a warning in the route bar and
you can see the alternative route in both the guidance view and the map view. To accept a faster
route, just steer towards the alternative route as you approach it and your device will select it.
To get TomTom services on your Rider, you must be connected to TomTom services and logged in to
a TomTom account.
Note: TomTom services are not available on all devices.
Note: Some TomTom services might not be available in your current location.

About postcodes
When searching using a postcode, your results depend on the type of postcode used in the country
that you are searching in.
The following types of postcodes are used:
Postcodes that navigate you to a street or part of a street.
Postcodes that navigate you to an area comprising, for example, a single town, several villages
in a rural area or a district in a large city.
Postcodes for streets
Countries such as the Netherlands and the United Kingdom use this type of postcode. When you
search using this type of postcode, enter the postcode, then leave a space and then optionally enter
the house number. For example, "1017CT 35". Your device then plans a route to a specific house or
building on a specific street.
Postcodes for areas
Countries such as Germany, France and Belgium use this type of postcode. If you search using a
postcode for an area, your results include all the streets in a city district, the whole town, or the
villages within that postcode.
When using quick search, you may get results from multiple countries if you enter a postcode for an
area.
Note: If you search using a postcode for an area, you will not get a specific address in your
results.
This type of postcode is still very useful in reducing the number of search results. For example, a
search for Neustadt in Germany returns a long list of possible results. Adding a space followed by
the postcode for an area narrows the results down to the Neustadt that you are looking for.
As another example, if you want to search in a city, enter a postcode for an area and select the city
centre you are searching for from the results.

QUICK SEARCH ONLY
In countries where roads and houses have no names or addresses, you can use a mapcode instead. A
mapcode represents a location.
Every location on Earth, including those in the sea like islands and oil rigs, can be represented by a
mapcode. Mapcodes are short, and easy to recognise, remember and communicate. They are
precise to a few metres, which is good enough for every-day use.
Go to mapcode.com for instructions on how to find the mapcode for a location.
Mapcodes are more precise and more flexible than the address on a business card. You can choose a
location that you want to associate with your address, for example, the main entrance or the
entrance to a car park.

Planning a route using quick search
Using destination prediction
What is destination prediction?
Your Rider can learn your daily driving habits to saved favourite Places and it can also suggest
destinations when you start the device from sleep mode, for example, when driving to Work in the
morning.
Getting ready for destination prediction
Before you get your first suggested destination, your device needs some time to learn about your
habits. The more regularly you drive with your Rider, the faster you will get suggestions and the
more accurate the suggested destinations will be.
To receive predicted destinations, you need to do the following:
Destination prediction is switched ON by default but if it has been switched off, go to Settings >
System > Your information and privacy, switch on Keep journey history on this device for
optional features.
Make sure no route is planned.
If your device has voice control, switch voice control ON. Make sure that your volume is not
muted and is set higher than 20%.
Do some driving for a few days, planning routes to your favourite My Places destinations.
Using destination prediction
Important: If your device has voice control, you can say "Yes" or "No" or select the Yes or No button.
If your device prompts "Going to X?", where X is a destination, you have 12 seconds to respond yes or
no.
Tip: If you don't respond yes or no, your Rider assumes a yes.
To respond yes, say "Yes" or select Yes. Your device plans a route to your destination.
To respond no, say "No", select No or tap the screen to return to the map.
Switching destination prediction on or off
You can turn destination prediction on or off at any time. See Route planning and Voice Control (if
your device has voice control) for information on how to switch this feature on or off.
