Before you start

Switching on and off

Install your TomTom GO in your car following the instructions on the installation poster at the start of this book.

Before you start

Battery notes

The battery in your TomTom GO charges when you connect it to the car charger or to your computer.

To switch on your TomTom GO, press and hold the On/Off button until you see the startup screen. The first time you switch on your device, it may take a short while to start.

You have to answer a few questions to set up your device.

Having problems?

In rare ca ses, your TomT om GO may not start correctly or may stop responding to your taps.

First, check that the battery is properly charged. To charge the battery, connect your device to the TomTom Home charger, the TomTom Car charger or to your computer. It can take up to 2 hours to fully charge the battery.

If this does not solve the problem, you can reset the device. To do this, press and hold the On/Off button for fifteen seconds and release the button when your GO begins to restart.

The light next to the On/Off button is orange while the battery is charging and is green when the battery is fully charged.

When you connect your GO to a computer using the home dock, you are asked if you want to connect to the computer. If you select

No and do not tap the screen within three minutes, the device will automatically switch off. This happens so that the battery can

charge faster.

Important: You should plug the USB

connector directly into a USB port on your computer and not into a USB hub or USB port on a keyboard or monitor.

Before you start

PowerDock

Use the PowerDock to install your TomTom GO inside your car.

Make sure that both the PowerDock and your windshield are clean and dry before you attach the holder. Place the PowerDock so that it does not interfere with your view of the road or of any of the controls in your car.

To attach the PowerDock, press the suction cup firmly against the windscreen on an area where the glass is flat. Then twist the rubber grip near the base of the PowerDock in a clockwise direction until you hear a click.

GPS reception

When you first start your TomTom GO, the device may need a few minutes to determine your GPS position and show your current location on the map. In the future, your position will be found much faster, usually within a few seconds.

To ensure reception of a strong GPS signal, your GO should be used outdoors. Large objects such as tall buildings can sometimes interfere with reception.

Safety Notice

Your TomTom GO contains a GSM/GPRS module which can interfere with electrical devices such as cardiac pacemakers, hearing aids and aviation equipment.

Interference with these devices may endanger the health or life of others.

Do not use near unprotected electrical units nor in areas where the use of mobile telephones is prohibited, such as hospitals and airplanes.

Take care of your TomTom GO

Never leave your TomTom GO or accessories in view when you leave the car or they may become an easy target for thieves.

You can set a password for your TomTom GO which must be entered every time you start your GO.

It is important to take care of your GO.

• Your GO is not designed for use in extreme temperatures and any such exposure may cause permanent damage.

• Do not open the casing of your GO under any circumstances. Doing so may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.

• Wipe or dry the screen of your GO using a soft cloth. Do not use any liquid cleaners.

Ravenna-UG.book Page 11 Wednesday, August 20, 2008 1:26 PM

Safety

Choosing where to attach the PowerDock

Consider carefully where you place the PowerDock in your car. The PowerDock should not block or interfere in any way with the following:

• Your view of the road

• Any of the controls in your car

• Any of your mirrors

• The airbag

You should be able to reach your GO easily when it is in the PowerDock without leaning or stretching. The diagram shows where you can safely attach the PowerDock.

You can attach the PowerDock to the windshield, side window or use a Dashboard Mount Disk to attach the PowerDock to your dashboard. TomTom also offers alternative mounting solutions for your TomTom device. For more information about Dashboard Mount Disks and alternative mounting solutions, go to www.tomtom.com/accessories.

Safety

Installing the PowerDock

Make sure that both the Powerdock and your window are clean and dry.

1. Press the suction cup firmly against the window on an area where the glass is flat.

2. Twist the rubber grip near the base of the Powerdock in a clockwise direction until you hear a click.

The PowerDock is now installed.

Safety preferences

We recommend using the safety preferences to make your driving as safe as possible. The safety preferences include, for example, the following options:

• Hide most menu options when driving

•Show safety reminders

• Warn when driving faster than allowed

You can also drive more safely by using voice commands to control your TomTom GO.

Planning a route with your TomTom GO is easy. To plan your first route, follow the steps below.

Important: For safety reasons, you should

always plan a route before you start your trip and not when you are driving.

Voice control

Instead of tapping the screen to control your TomTom GO, you can now give instructions to your GO using your voice.

For example, to increase the volume on your GO, you can say, "Increase volume."

Important: To use voice control, you must

have a computer voice installed on your TomTom GO. If you don’t have a computer voice installed, use TomTom HOME to install one.

To view the list of available commands, tap voice control preferences in the Preferences menu and then tap What can I say?

Voice control

2. When you hear a beep, say, "Navigate to Home."

When you speak, the voice control monitor shows if you are talking too loudly or quietly:

A green bar means your voice is at the right level for your GO to hear your commands.

A red bar means your voice is too loud.

A grey bar means your voice is too quiet.

For some phrases, your GO will always repeat the command and then ask you if the command has been correctly recognized.

3. If the command is correct, say, "Yes."

If the command is incorrect, say, "No" and when prompted, say the command again after the beep .

Your GO plans a route from your current position to your Home address.

Tips

• Voice control switches off after a few seconds if you don’t say anything. For example, if your GO asks you to confirm the last command you gave and you don’t say anything, voice control switches off after a few seconds.

• You can stop your GO from listening for commands either by tapping the screen or by saying any of the following commands: Back, Cancel, Quit.

• To select an item from a list, tap the screen to select the item. Voice control cannot be used to select items from a list.
