What's in the box

Dock
USB cable
Documentation
8

Installing the Dock

Read me first

Use the Dock to install your Blue&Me-TomTom 2 navigation device inside the car.
To attach the Dock, insert the base of the dock into the dash plug on the car dashboard or A-pillar.
To insert your navigation device into the dock, push the two small buttons on the bottom 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.
To adjust the position of the device, unscrew the knob on the back of the device to adjust the position using the ball joint and secure it by tightening the knob.
To remove the navigation device, press the two small buttons on the bottom 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.
Your Blue&Me-TomTom 2 navigation device starts automatically as soon as it is powered by the dock.
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 start using your device right away.

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 reception

When you first start your Blue&Me-TomTom 2 navigation device, the device may need a few minutes to determine your GPS position and show your current position on the map. In the future, your position will be found much faster, usually within a few seconds.
9
To ensure good GPS reception, you should use your device outdoors and keep your device upright. Large objects such as tall buildings can sometimes interfere with reception. GPS reception can also be affected if the device is placed flat on a surface or held flat in your hand.

About MyDrive

MyDrive is a web-based tool that helps you manage the contents and services of your Blue&Me-TomTom 2 navigation device. You use MyDrive to get map updates as well as lots of other things.
You log in to MyDrive on the TomTom website. It is a good idea to frequently connect your navigation device to MyDrive to ensure you always have the latest updates.
Tip: We recommend using a broadband internet connection whenever you connect your navi­gation device to MyDrive.

About MyDrive Connect

In order to use MyDrive, you need to install MyDrive Connect on your computer.
MyDrive Connect is an application that allows your navigation device to communicate with the MyDrive website. MyDrive Connect needs to be running the entire time that your device is con­nected to your computer.

Setting up MyDrive

To get ready to use MyDrive for the first time, do the following:
1. On your computer, open a web browser and go to tomtom.com/getstarted.
2. Click Get Started.
3. Click Download MyDrive Connect.
Follow the instructions on the screen.
4. When prompted, connect your device to your computer using the USB cable supplied with
your device, then switch your device on.
Note: Use ONLY the USB cable supplied with your device. Other USB cables may not work.
Note: You should plug the USB cable directly into a USB port on your computer and not into
a USB hub or USB port on a keyboard or monitor.
5. Enter the requested information for account creation, including your country.
10
When set-up is complete, a MyTomTom account is created and your navigation device is linked to that account.
You can now access MyDrive Connect from the notification area on your desktop.
MyDrive starts automatically after the account is created.
Note: Next time you want to access MyDrive, go to tomtom.com/mydrive in a web browser.
Tip: When you connect your navigation device to your computer, MyDrive Connect tells you
if there are any updates for your device.

Device not starting

In rare cases, your Blue&Me-TomTom 2 navigation device may not start correctly or may stop responding to your taps.
First, check that the battery is 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 until you hear the drum sound and your device restarts. This can take 30 seconds or more.

Charging your device

The battery in your Blue&Me-TomTom 2 navigation device charges when you connect it to the dock or to your computer.
The light on the On/Off button is orange while the battery is charging and is green when the battery is fully charged.
Important: 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.

Sharing information with TomTom

When you first start navigating or perform a reset, your device asks for permission to collect some information about your use of the navigation device. The information is stored on the device until we retrieve it. We use it anonymously to improve our products and services.
You can change whether you share this information with us at any time by doing the following:
1. In the Main Menu, tap Settings.
2. Tap Me and my device.
3. Tap My information.
4. Tap No to stop sharing or tap Yes to start sharing.
For more information, see our privacy policy at tomtom.com/privacy.

Take care of your navigation device

It is important to take care of your device:
11
Do not open the casing of your device under any circumstances. Doing so may be dangerous
and will void the warranty.
Wipe or dry the screen of your device using a soft cloth. Do not use any liquid cleaners. Your device is not designed for use in extreme temperatures, and any such exposure may
cause permanent damage. Extended exposure to sunlight may lead to premature degradation of battery performance.

Safety settings

We recommend using the safety settings to make your driving as safe as possible.
These are some of the options included in the safety settings:
Show essential menu buttons while driving Show safety reminders Warn when driving faster than allowed
If your device supports voice control, you can also drive more safely by using voice control to control your navigation device.
