To attach the Dash Dock, insert the base of the dock into the dash plug on the car dash-
board.
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.
Switching on and off
To switch on your navigation device manually, 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.
With the latest version of the application for your Blue&Me-TomTom, your navigation
device starts automatically as soon as it is powered by the dock. You can update the application using TomTom HOME.
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 reception.
Take care of your device
Never leave your Blue&Me-TomTom navigation device or access ories on vi ew when you
leave the car as they may become an easy target for thieves.

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.

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 diffe rent 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:
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.
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 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.

m Map
Share™ With TomTom Map Share, you can correct errors on your map and share those correc-
tions with other people in the TomTom Map Share community, as well as receiving corrections made by others.
Note: TomTom Map Share is not available in all regions. For more information, go to tomtom.com/mapshare.
Map corrections
There are two types of map correction:
• Corrections that are immediately shown on the map. These include, changing th e traffic
flow of a street, blocking or renaming a street and adding or editing POIs.
This type of change is immediately shown on your own map. You can hide these corrections at any time in the Map Share preferences menu.
• Corrections that are reported to TomTom but not shown immediately on your map.
These include, missing streets, errors in motorway entrances and exits and missing
roundabouts.
This type of correction is investigated by TomTom and once verified, is included in the
next map release. These corrections are therefore not shared with the Map Share community.

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 names 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.
About computer voices
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 sur e 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 towns and street names. For example, the English
voice can read French street names.
Note: If you select a recorded 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
• Using an audio cable (not possible when your device is connected to Blue&Me).
• Phone calls
• The speaker inside your Blue&Me-TomTom
Note: If you wish to use an audio cable (only possible when your device is not connected
to Blue&Me), 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.

42
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 recognised.
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 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.

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.
Temperatures: Standard operation: -0 C (32 F) to +45 C (113 F); short period storage: 20 C (-4 F) to + 60 C (140 F); long period storage: -20 C (-4 F) to +25 C (77 F).
Caution: risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type.
Do not remove or attempt to remove the non-user-replaceable battery. If you have a problem with the battery, please contact TomTom customer support.
