Mounting your navigation device
Read me first
Draft
Attach the RAM™ mount kit to your motorcycle as shown on the Installation Poster, then place
your TomTom RIDER in the holder. 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 yourself while performing the connection 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.
Do not overtighten nuts. You may crack parts of the mount kit or damage your handlebars if
you overtighten the nuts.
If you are using the u-bolt, don’t forget to put the rubber caps provided over the exposed
threads.
Damage due to modifications, improper installation, road hazards or accident, are not cov-
ered. Neither RAM nor TomTom shall be liable for any injury, loss, or damage, direct or consequential, 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.
Using a headset
We recommend using a compatible headset with your TomTom RIDER to hear spoken instructions, make and receive hands-free phonecalls and hear warning sounds on your TomTom RIDER.
This makes riding with your TomTom RIDER as safe as possible. For more information and a full
list of compatible headsets, go to tomtom.com/riderheadsets.
The instructions below describe how to set up a Bluetooth® headset.
1. To turn the headset on, press and hold the on/off button for 10 seconds, until the LED flashes
blue 3 times.
An ascending alert tone is played. When the headset is on, the LED flashes blue every 3 seconds.
2. To turn the headset off, press and hold the on/off button for 3 seconds, until the LED flashes
red 3 times.
A descending alert tone is played.
If you did not establish a Bluetooth connection between your Bluetooth headset and your
TomTom RIDER when you first turned your TomTom RIDER on, you can establish the connection at any time.
3. From the Main Menu, tap options.
4. Tap Connect to headset and follow the instructions to establish the connection.
8
5. Attach your headset to your helmet as shown at the start of this guide.
Draft
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.

7. Charging connector
Before you can use your Bluetooth headset, fully charge the headset using the charger supplied
with the headset.
To fully charge the headset takes between 2 and 3 hours. When charging, the LED is a steady red.
When charging is finished, the LED turns off.
When the batteries are running low, an alert tone is played.
Switching on
Your TomTom RIDER switches on when you switch your motorcycle ignition on. Your TomTom
RIDER switches off when you switch your ignition off.
The first time you switch on your TomTom RIDER, it may take up to 20 seconds to start.
Before you use your TomTom RIDER for the first time, it’s a good idea to charge it fully.
The battery in your TomTom RIDER navigation device charges when you connect it to the home
charger or to your computer.
Note: 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.

Tip: To switch your TomTom RIDER on when your motorcycle engine is not running, press and
Draft
hold the On/Off button for 2 seconds, or until your TomTom RIDER starts. To switch off your
TomTom RIDER, press and hold the On/Off button for 2 seconds.
Setting up
Important: Take care to select the correct language as the language you choose will be used for
all text on the screen.
When you first switch on your device, you have to answer a few questions to set up the device.
Answer the questions by tapping the screen.
GPS receeption
Your TomTom RIDER must be outside to be able to locate your current position. Make sure that
you are in an open place without tall buildings or trees around you.
The first time you start your TomTom RIDER, it can take a few minutes for the device to find your
current position. In the future, your position will be found much faster, normally within a few seconds.
Your TomTom RIDER does not transmit your location, so others cannot use it to track you while
you are driving.
TomTom RIDER uses a GPS receiver to locate your current position.
Using the anti-theft solution
If your box includes an anti-theft solution, it is supplied in two parts:
A RAM lock for the mount.
This lock prevents the unscrewing of the RAM arm from the bike.
A 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!

About the Quick Menu
Tip: When you see this symbol in the guide, it means that this is an
option that can be added to your Quick Menu for easy access.
Quick Menu
Draft
The Quick Menu offers a fast and safe way to use your TomTom RIDER.
When you use the Quick Menu, the number of taps you need to make is reduced and this makes
the device easier to use with gloves.
There are several Quick Menu items to choose from. You can choose just one or several depending on the features you use the most.
Setting up the Quick Menu
To set up the Quick Menu, do the following:
1. Tap the screen to bring up the Main Menu.
2. Tap options in the Main Menu.
3. Tap Quick menu preferences.

button:
Using the Quick Menu
Here are some examples of how you can use the Quick Menu:
Changing a route to include a petrol station normally requires 5-6 taps but when you use the
Quick menu, you only need to tap twice.
When you use the Call button in the Mobile phone menu, you can call any phone number, but
it requires several taps. The Call button in the Quick Menu, however, is like a speed-dial button
and allows you to call a pre-set number with very few taps.
If you want to skip a waypoint on your scenic route, you can do with this with two taps in the
Quick Menu by using Go to previous waypoint or Go to next waypoint. It takes at least six taps
using the Main Menu.

About winding roads
Winding routes
Draft
The winding routes feature is for planning a route that avoids unnecessary motorways and includes winding roads, with the aim of making the route a fun and entertaining ride. When planning
the route, your TomTom RIDER tries to guide you out of the city as quickly as possible.
Switching on winding roads
1. Tap the screen to bring up the Main Menu.
2. Tap options.
3. Tap Winding routes preferences.
Some locations in the world have a lot of winding roads, others have very few due to larger
populations or lots of cities. If you think that the winding roads suggested in your area are too
winding or not winding enough, you can change the relative amounts of different types of
roads in your route.
Move the slider to choose the extent to which minor or major roads are part of your route.
Move the slider to the left to choose more winding roads.

Winding roads and itineraries
You can also use the winding routes feature in combination with the itinerary planner.
There are two methods for using winding routes with itineraries. The first is to select just city centres and a route is planned bypassing those cities but using them as a guide. For example:
1. City centre 1
2. City centre 2
3. City centre 3
4. Home location
The first method, as shown in the example above, calculates a route from your current position
using the three city centres as a guide and finishes at your Home location.
The second method uses actual locations that you know you want to visit.

A scenic route from a friend that you downloaded using HOME or the internet.
In all these examples you could tap Navigate to... for each place. However, if you use an Itinerary,
you can save time by planning everything in advance.
An Itinerary can include the following items:
Destination - a location on your journey where you want to stop.
Waypoint - a location on your journey where you want to travel through without stopping.
