Mounting your navigation device

Attach the RAM™ mount kit to your motorcycle as shown on the Installation Poster, then place

Draft

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 o fit it for you.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you choose to attach the mount kit yoursel , note

hat he Ac ive Dock has a built-in fuse.

 

 

 

 

This means that you don’t need to add a use yourself while per orming he connec ion be-

 

 

 

 

tween the device and the motorcycle battery.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Make sure that the mount kit does not inter ere wi h any of he con rols on he mo orcycle.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Always use the correct tools. If you use unsuitable ools, you may damage or break he mount

 

kit.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Do not overtighten nuts. You m y cr ck p rts of the mount kit or d m ge your handlebars if

 

 

you overtighten the nuts.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you are using the u-bolt, don’t forget to put the rubber c ps provided over the exposed

 

 

 

 

threads.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Damage due to modific tions, imp oper inst ll tion, o d h z rds or ccident, are not cov-

 

 

 

ered. Neither RAM nor TomTom sh ll be li ble for

ny injury, loss, or d mage, direct or con-

 

 

sequential, a ising out of imp oper inst ll tion, or in

bility to use product. Before use, the user

shall determine the suit bility of the p oduct for its intended use. The user assumes all risk and liability, whatsoeve , in connection with the mount.

Using a headset

We recommend using a compatible headset with your TomTom RIDER to hear spoken instructions, make and eceive hands-f ee phonecalls and hear warning sounds on your TomTom RIDER. This makes riding with your TomTom RI ER 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.

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.

Charging connector

Draft

 

 

 

Before you can use your Bluetooth he dset, fully ch ge the he dset using the charger supplied with the headset.

To fully charge the headset takes between 2 and 3 hou s. When charging, the LED is a steady red. When charging is finished, the LED tu ns off.

When the batteries are running low, an alert tone is played.

Switching on

Your TomTom RI ER switches on when you switch your motorcycle ignition on. Your TomTom RI ER switches off when you switch your ignition off.

The first time you switch on your TomTom RI ER, 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.

9

Tip: To switch your TomTom RIDER on when your motorcycle engine is not running, press and 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 Draftall text on the screen.

When you first switch on your device, you have to answer a few ques ions o set up he device. Answer the questions by tapping the screen.

GPS receeption

Your TomTom RIDER must be outside to be able to loca e your current posi ion. Make sure hat 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 ew minu es or he device o find your

current position. In the future, your position will be ound much s er, norm lly wi hin a few seconds.

Your TomTom RIDER does not tr nsmit your loc tion, so others c nnot use it to track you while you are driving.

TomTom RIDER uses a GPS eceiver to loc te your cu ent position.

Using the anti-theft solution

If your box includes an anti-theft solution, it is supplied in two p rts: A RAM lock for the mount.

This lock prevents the unsc ewing of the RAM a m f om the bike. A lock for the TomTom RI ER 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!

Quick Menu

About the Quick Menu

DraftThe 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 o make is reduced and his 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.

Tip: When you see this symbol in he guide, it means hat his is an option that can be added to your Quick Menu or easy access.

Setting up the Quick Menu

To set up the Quick Menu, do the following:

1. Tap the screen to b ing up the M in Menu. 2. Tap options in the Main Menu.

3. Tap Quick menu p efe ences.

4. Select one or mo e checkboxes next to the options you w nt to include in your Quick Menu. 5. Tap Done.

Your Quick Menu is now eady to use. To use the Quick Menu, go to the Driving View and tap this 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.

Winding routes

About winding roads

DraftThe 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 en er aining ride. When planning the route, your TomTom RIDER tries to guide you out of he ci y as quickly as possible.

Winding roads and itine a ies

You can also use the winding outes featu e 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.

Itinerary planning

About Itineraries

An Itinerary is a plan for a journey including more locations than your final destination. You could use an Itinerary for trips such as:

A riding holiday through a country with lots of stops.

A two day bike ride with an overnight stop.

A short ride which passes by Points of Interest.

A scenic route from a friend that you downloaded using HOME or he in ernet.

In all these examples you could tap Navigate to... or each place. However, if you use an I inerary, you can save time by planning everything in advance.

An Itinerary can include the following items:

Destination - a location on your journey where you w nt o s op.

Waypoint - a location on your journey where you w nt to tr vel through without stopping.

When you have passed a waypoint or reached a destination, it is marked as visited.

Waypoints are shown on the map. Your device will not warn you when you are approaching a waypoint or when you arrive at a waypoint.
