Before you start

Type of Dock

Your product includes either the Dash Dock or the Active Dock. Use the
images above to see which Dock is included in your product. Follow the
instructions below to install your Dock in your car. Alternatively, follow the vis­ual instructions at the start of this guide.

Installing the Dash Dock (A)

Use the dash dock to install your Blue&Me-TomTom navigation device inside
the car.

To attach the dash dock, insert the base of the dock into the dash plug on the
car dashboard.

To insert your navigation device into the dock, push the button on the front of
the dock to open the top bracket. Place the bottom of the device into the dock
and then push the top bracket of the dock down until it clicks into place. Rotate
your device to a position that suits you best.

To remove the navigation device, press the button on the front of the dock and
lift the navigation device out.

To release the dock from the dashboard, push the lower button on each side
of the shaft and pull out the dock.

Installing the Active Dock (B)

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

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

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

The Active Dock is now installed.

Positioning the Active Dock

Consider carefully where to attach the dock in your car. The dock 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 dock, you should be able to reach the
device easily without leaning or stretching. The diagrams show where you can
safely attach the dock.

3

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

Switching on and off

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

To set up your navigation device you need to answer a few questions by tap­ping the screen. You then need to connect your navigation device to Blue&Me
in your car.

Note: Your dealer may have connected your navigation device to Blue&Me for
you. If this is the case, you can already start using your device.

Device not starting

In rare cases, your Blue&Me-TomTom navigation device may not start cor­rectly or may stop responding to your taps.

First, check that the battery is properly charged. 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 Blue&Me-TomTom 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 rece ptio n.

Take care of your device

Never leave your Blue&Me-TomTom navigation device or accessories on view
when you leave the car as they may become an easy target for thieves.

You can set a password which must be entered every time you start your
device.

It is important to take care of your device.

• Your device is not designed for use in ext reme temperatures and any s uch
exposure may cause permanent damage.

• 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 li q­uid cleaners.

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
Blue&Me-TomTom.

at a particular time.

Tap YES to enter a preferred arrival time.
Your Blue&Me-TomTom calculates your arrival time and shows you whether

you will arrive on time.
You can also use this information to work out when you need to leave. If your

Blue&Me-TomTom shows that you will arrive 30 minutes early, you can wait
and leave in 30 minutes time, rather than arrive early.

Your arrival time is constantly recalculated during your journey. The status bar
shows whether you will arrive on time or if you are going to be late, as shown
below:

You will arrive 55 minutes before the arrival time you entered.
If the estimated arrival time is more than five minutes before

the time you entered, it is shown in green.
You will arrive 3 minutes before the arrival time you entered.

If the estimated arrival time is less than 5 minutes before the
time you entered, it is shown in yellow.

Planning a route in advance

You can use your Blue&Me-TomTom to plan a route in advance, selecting your
starting point and your destination.

Here are some more reasons to plan a route in advance:

• Find out how long a journey is going to take before you start.
You can also compare journey times for the same route at different times of

the day or on different days of the week. Your Blue&Me-TomTom uses IQ
Routes when planning a route. IQ Routes calculates routes based on the real
average speeds measured on roads.

• Study the route of a journey you are planning.

• Check a route for someone who is coming to visit you and then explain the
route to them in detail.

To plan a route in advance, follow these steps:

Prepare route

1. Tap the screen to bring up the main menu.

2. Tap the arrow button to move to the next menu screen and tap Prepare
route.

3. Select the starting point for your journey in the same way that you would
select your destination.

4. Set the destination for your journey.

5. Choose the type of route that should be planned.

• Fastest route - the route which takes the least time.

• Eco route - the most fuel-efficient route for your journey.

• Shortest route - the shortest distance between the locations you set. This

may not be the quickest route, especially if the shortest route is through
a town or city.

• Avoid motorways - a route which avoids motorways.

• Walking route - a route designed for making the journey on foot.

• Bicycle route - a route designed for making the journey on a bicycle.

• Limited speed - a route for a vehicle which can only be driven at a limited

speed. You have to specify the maximum speed.

6. Choose when you will make the journey you are planning. There are three
options:

• Now

• Specific date and time - you will be asked to enter the date and time.

• No specific date and time
If you select either Now or Specific date and time, your Blue&Me-TomTom

uses IQ Routes to work out the best possible route at that time, using the
real average speeds measured on roads. In this way you can compare how

17

long a journey takes at different times of day, or on different days of the
week.

7. Your Blue&Me-TomTom plans the route between the two locations you
selected.

Finding alternative routes11.

Finding alternative routes

Once you have planned a route, you may want to change something about the
route, without changing your destination.

Why change the route?

Maybe for one of these reasons:

• You can see a roadblock or a line of traffic ahead.

• You want to travel via a particular location, to pick someone up, stop for
lunch or fill up with petrol.

• You want to avoid a difficult junction or a road you don’t like.

Tap Find alternative... in the Main Menu to change the route that is cur­rently planned.

Find alterna-

tive...

Calculate

alternative

The Find alternative... button is also shown in the route summary screen
after you plan a route.

Tap this button to calculate an alternative to the route already planned.
Your Blue&Me-TomTom will look for another route from your current loca-

tion to your destination.
If you decide you would prefer to use the original route after all, tap Recal-

culate original.

Avoid

roadblock

Why would I need to do this?

Apart from the roads near your position and near your destination, the new
route will use totally different roads to reach your destination. This is an
easy way of calculating a totally different route.

Tap this button if you can see a roadblock or a line of traffic ahead. You then
have to choose how much of the route ahead you want to avoid.

Choose from the different options: 100m, 500m, 2000m, 5000m. Your
Blue&Me-TomTom will recalculate your route avoiding the section of the
route for the distance you selected.

Don’t forget that once a new route is calculated, you may have to turn off
the road you are on very soon.

If the roadblock suddenly clears, tap Recalculate original to return to your
original route.

24

Travel via...

Recalculate

original

Avoid part of

route

Tap this button to change your route so that it passes a particular location,
perhaps to pick someone up on the way. When you do this, a marker is
shown on the map for the location you choose the travel via.

You choose the location you want to pass in the same way as you choose a
destination. So you can select from all the same options: for example,
Address, Favourite, Point of Interest and Point on map.

Your Blue&Me-TomTom will calculate a new route to your destination that
passes the location you chose. Unlike your final destination, your Blue&Me­TomTom does not inform you when you pass by this location.

Using this button, you can only travel via one location. If you want to pass
more than one, use an Itinerary.

Tap this button to return to the original route without deviations to avoid
roadblocks or travelling via particular locations.

Tap this button to avoid a part of the route. Use this button if you see that
your route includes a road or junction you don’t like, or which is well­known for traffic problems.

You then choose the road you want to avoid from a list of the roads on your
route.

Selecting a voice

To change the voice being used by your Blue&Me-TomTom, tap Voices in
the Preferences menu, then tap Change voice. Select a voice from the list.

Voice

preferences

Your Blue&Me-TomTom has two different kinds of voices:

• Computer voices
These are generated by your Blue&Me-TomTom. They provide spoken

instructions while you are driving and can pronounce street n ames and
announce messages, traffic reports, weather reports, tips and tutorials.

•Human voices
These are recorded by an actor.

Note: Human voices only provide spoken instructions.

How do computer voices work?

Your Blue&Me-TomTom makes use of text-to-speech technology to generate
computer voices. A text-to-speech program converts written text, for example
an instruction like “Turn right”, into the sound of a human voice.

The text-to-speech program looks at the whole sentence to make sure that the
sound you hear is as close to the real thing as possible. The program is also
able to recognise and quite accurately pronounce foreign place and street
names. For example, the English voice can read French street names.

Note: If you select a Human voice, this will only be able to announce com­mands, but not street names. If you would like street names to be announced,
you will need to select a computer voice.

Internal and external speakers

Your Blue&Me-TomTom contains a high quality speaker. This is used to play
all the sounds on your Blue&Me-TomTom unless you select to play some
sounds through external speakers.

The following types of sound can be played through the speakers as listed
below:

• Spoken instructions and warnings:

• The speaker inside your Blue&Me-TomTom

• An external Bluetooth® Hi-Fi headset or speakers

• Using an audio cable.

• Phone calls

• The speaker inside your Blue&Me-TomTom

Note: If you wish to use an audio cable, an Active Dock with an audio connec­tor is available as an accessory. Your car stereo needs a line-in connector. Not
all car stereos have line-in connectors. Check the instructions for you car
stereo for more information.

Using Bluetooth® Hi-Fi speakers

Your Blue&Me-TomTom can play sound through Bluetooth® Hi-Fi speakers,
such as a Bluetooth® Hi-Fi headset, or a car stereo which uses Bluetooth®.

Note: Bluetooth needs to be enabled before you can use a Bluetooth Hi-Fi
speaker. Tap Change preferences, followed by Bluetooth preferences to ena­ble Bluetooth.

Your device may ask you to enter a password on your Blue&Me-TomTom
before a Bluetooth® connection can be established. See the documentation
for your Bluetooth® Hi-Fi device for more information.

Once connected, sound is be played through the external Bluetooth® Hi-Fi

Navigating to POIs

POIs

Points of Interest or POIs are useful places on the map. Here are some exam­ples:

• FIAT service points

•Hotels

• Restaurants

• Parking garages

• Petrol stations
Your Blue&Me-TomTom navigation device comes with a European-wide list of

service centres and LPG/CNG petrol stations. These are all stored as POIs and
you can navigate to any of them as a destination.

When you need to service or repair your car or fill it up with fuel, you can
choose a POI, view the contact information and then navigate to it.

Low Fuel Warning

When the amount of fuel in your car drops into the reserve, your Blue&Me­TomTom navigation device gives you a warning.

Tap Yes to be routed to the petrol station that is closest to your route. If you
do not have a route planned, tap Yes to be taken to the closest petrol station
to your current location.

Your Blue&Me-TomTom navigation device knows which type of fuel your car
uses and guides you to a petrol station that offers you the correct fuel type.

Note: The Low Fuel Warning is not available in all cars.

Why would I want to create my own POIs?

A POI acts like a shortcut - once you have saved a location as a POI you never
have to type the address of that POI again. But when you create a POI you can
save more than just the location.

• Phone number - when you create a POI, you can save a phone number with
it.

• Categories - when you create a POI you have to put it in a category.

For example, you could create a category of POIs called ‘Favourite restau­rants’. With each POI, save their phone number so that you can call them to
reserve a table.

Note: You can report missing POIs or edit existing POIs using Map Share and
share your corrections with the Map Share community.

Important Safety Notices and Warnings

Global Positioning System

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite-based system that provides
location and timing information around the globe. GPS is operated and con­trolled under the sole responsibility of the Government of the United States of
America which is responsible for its availability and accuracy. Any changes in
GPS availability and accuracy, or in environmental conditions, may impact the
operation of your TomTom device. TomTom does not accept any liability for
the availability and accuracy of GPS.

Use with Care

Use of a TomTom device for navigation still means that you need to drive with
due care and attention.

Aircraft and Hospitals

Use of devices with an antenna is prohibited on most aircraft, in many hospi­tals and in many other locations. A TomTom device must not be used in these
environments.

Battery

This product uses a Lithium-Polymer battery. Do not use it in a humid, wet
and/or corrosive environment. Do not put, store or leave your product in or
near a heat source, in a high temperature location, in strong direct sunlight, in
a microwave oven or in a pressurized container, and do not expose it to tem­peratures over 60 C (140 F). Failure to follow these guidelines may cause the
Lithium-Polymer battery to leak acid, become hot, explode or ignite and cause
injury and/or damage. Do not pierce, open or disassemble the battery. If the
battery leaks and you come into contact with the leaked fluids, rinse thor­oughly with water and seek medical attention immediately. For safety reasons ,
and to prolong the lifetime of the battery, charging will not occur at low (below
0 C/32 F) or high (over 45 C/113 F) temperatures.
