SAFETY
Positioning the mount
Consider carefully where to attach the mount in your car. The mount 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
• The airbag
When your navigation device is in the mount, you should be able to reach the device easily without leaning or stretching. The diagrams show where you can safely attach the mount. You can attach the
mount to the windshield, side window or use the Adhesive Disk to
attach the mount to your dashboard. TomTom also offers alternative mounting solutions for your TomTom navigation device.
For more information about Adhesive Disks and alternative mounting
solutions, go to www.tomtom.com/accessories.

TRAFFIC UPDATES
APPLIES TO: ALL TRAFFIC EDITION DEVICES
USING TRAFFIC INFORMATION
To view traffic information on your TomTom GO, connect the TomTom Car Charger with Integrated Traffic Receiver to your GO.
Important: You will not recieve updates unless your car charger with integrated traffic receiver is connected to your vehicle, via the charging socket.
The trafc sidebar is shown on the right side of the Driving view. The sidebar
informs you about traffic delays while you drive, using glowing dots to show you where each traffic incident is located on your route.
The top of the traffic sidebar represents your destination and shows the total time delay due to traffic jams and other incidents on your route.
The central section of the traffic sidebar shows individual traffic incidents in the order they occur on your route.
The bottom of the traffic sidebar represents your current location and shows the distance to the next incident on your route.
Note: TomTom is not responsible for the availability or quality of traffic information provided by the Traffic Message Channel.

The color of the pointers, as shown below, gives you an instant indication of the type of incident:
Unknown or undetermined situation.
Slow traffic.
Traffic lining up.
Stationary traffic or road closure.

TRAFFIC UPDATES
TAKING THE FASTEST ROUTE
Your GO regularly looks for a faster route to your destination. If the traffic situation changes and a faster route is found, your GO will offer to re-plan your trip so you can use the faster route.
You can also set your GO to automatically re-plan your trip whenever a faster route is found. To apply this setting, tap Traffic settings in the Traffic menu.
MINIMIZING DELAYS
You can use traffic updates to minimize the impact of traffic delays on your route. To minimize delays automatically, do the following:
1. Tap Services in the Main Menu.
2. Tap Traf fic.
3. Tap Traffic settings.
4. Choose between always taking the faster route automatically, being asked or never changing your route.
5. Tap Next and then Done.
13
To manually minimize traffic delays at any time, do the following:
1. Tap the Trafc bar in the Driving View.
2. Tap Minimize traffic delays.
Your GO plans the quickest route to your destination. The new route may include traffic delays and may remain the same as the original route.
You can re-plan the route to avoid all delays, but this route is unlikely to be the quickest possible route.

VOICE RECOGNITION
ABOUT VOICE RECOGNITION
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.”
To view the list of available commands, tap Command and control in the Preferences menu and then tap What can I say?
USING VOICE RECOGNITION
Note: You must select a computer voice in order to use voice recognition. To select a computer voice, tap Voices in the Preferences menu, then tap Change voice. Select a computer voice.
In this example, you will use voice recognition to plan a trip to your
Home address.
1. Tap the microphone button in the Driving View. The microphone
monitor is shown in color, unless voice recognition is busy with another task.
2. When you hear a beep, say, “Navigate to Home.” When you speak, the microphone monitor shows if you are
talking too loudly or quietly:
17
A green bar means your voice is at the right level for your device 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 device repeats the command, then asks 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 device plans a route from your current position to your Home address.
TIPS:
• The microphone switches off after a few seconds if you don’t say anything.
• You can stop your device 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 recognition cannot be used to select items from a list.

TROUBLESHOOTING
DEVICE NOT STARTING
In rare cases, your TomTom GO navigation device 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 car charger. 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 15 seconds and release the button when your device begins to restart.
GPS RECEPTION
When you first start your TomTom GO 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. Large objects such as tall buildings can sometimes interfere with reception.
