What's in the box
Installing the Dock
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 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.
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 fix it by tightening the knob. Alternatively, press the left and right buttons on the shaft of the dock to rotate the device in the vertical direction.
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.
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.
To ensure good GPS reception, you should use your device outdoors. Large objects such as tall buildings can sometimes interfere with reception.

About MyTomTom
MyTomTom helps you manage the contents and services of your Blue&Me TomTom 2 navigation device, as well as giving you access to the TomTom community. You log in to MyTomTom on the TomTom website. It is a good idea to frequently connect your navigation device to MyTomTom to ensure you always have the latest updates.
Tip: We recommend using a broadband internet connection whenever you connect your navigation device to MyTomTom.
Setting up MyTomTom
To set up MyTomTom, do the following:
1. Connect your computer to the internet.
2. Start a browser and go to tomtom.com/getstarted.
3. Click Download now. Your browser downloads the MyTomTom support application, which you need to install on your
computer in order to connect your device to MyTomTom. Follow the instructions on the screen if you are asked questions while downloading.
4. When prompted, connect your device to your computer using the USB cable. Then switch your
device on.
Important: 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.
Once the MyTomTom support application is installed, you can access MyTomTom from the notification area on your desktop.
Tip: When you connect your navigation device to your computer, MyTomTom 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 for 15 seconds and release the button when your device begins to restart.
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.
Take care of your navigation device
Never leave your Blue&Me TomTom 2 or accessories on view when you leave the car as they may become an easy target for thieves.
It is important to take care of your device: 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.
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.
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
You can also drive more safely by using voice commands to control your navigation device.

18
Driving style information
Driving style information helps you drive in a way that limits the environmental impact. It can improve the efficiency of your driving by analyzing your driving style. It helps you to use less
fuel, reduce CO2 emissions and save money. On the left of the screen for cars where a gear shift indicator is available, the indicator suggests when

The route summary shows an overview of your route, the remaining distance to your destination and the remaining estimated trip time.
To view the route summary, tap the right-hand panel on the status bar in the Driving view or tap View route in the Main menu and then tap Show route summary.
If you have a TomTom Traffic service or an RDS-TMC receiver, the route summary also shows traffic information about delays on your route.
29
Selecting a route type
Every time you plan a route, you can choose to be asked about the type of route you want to plan. To do this, tap Settings followed by Planning settings and then tap Ask me every time I plan.
The types of route you can choose from are as follows:

quickest route, especially if the shortest route is through a town or city.
Avoid highways - a route which avoids highways. Walking route - a route designed for making the trip on foot. Bicycle route - a route designed for making the trip on a bicycle.
Frequent destinations
If you often make trips to the same destinations, you can set your Blue&Me TomTom 2 to ask if you want to plan a route to one of these locations every time the device starts. This is faster than planning a route in the normal way.
To select a new destination, tap Start-up settings in the Settings menu and select Ask for a destination. Select a button to use for this destination and answer the questions about the destination.
Show my frequent destinations
You can set your Blue&Me TomTom 2 to ask if you want to plan a route to one of your frequently visited destinations every time the device starts.

8. If you want to change the image, tap Yes then follow the instructions shown on the screen.
Otherwise, tap No.
Every time your Blue&Me TomTom 2 starts, you are asked if you want to plan a route. If you tap
Cancel, you are shown the Main Menu.
Using arrival times
When you plan a route, your Blue&Me TomTom 2 asks you if you need to arrive at a particular time. Tap YES to enter a preferred arrival time. Your Blue&Me TomTom 2 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 2
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 trip. 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.
You will arrive 19 minutes late. If the estimated arrival time is later than the time you entered, it is shown in
red.
Status bar settings
Tap Status bar settings in the Settings menu, to enable or disable arrival time notifications.
To enable arrival time notifications, select Leeway.

Planning a route in advance
You can use your Blue&Me TomTom 2 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 trip is going to take before you start.  You can also compare trip times for the same route at different times of the day or on different
days of the week. Your Blue&Me TomTom 2 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 trip 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 Plan route.
This button is shown while there is no planned route on your Blue&Me TomTom 2.
3. Select the starting point for your trip in the same way that you would select your destination.
4. Set the destination for your trip.
5. If Planning settings are set to Ask me every time I plan, select the type of route you want to plan:
Fastest route - the route which takes the least time. Eco route - the most fuel-efficient route for your trip. 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 highways - a route which avoids highways. Walking route - a route designed for making the trip on foot. Bicycle route - a route designed for making the trip on a bicycle.
6. Choose the date and time that you will make the trip you are planning.
Your Blue&Me TomTom 2 uses IQ Routes to work out the best possible route at that time. This is useful to see how long a trip takes at different times of the day or on different days of the week.
Your Blue&Me TomTom 2 plans the route between the two locations you selected.

Voice control
There are two types of voice control. The first type is provided by Blue&Me and you can use it to control Blue&Me features. You do this
using a button on your steering wheel. The second type is provided by your navigation device and you can use it to plan routes and control
other features of your navigation device. You do this by initially tapping the screen on the navigation device.
About navigation device voice control
Note: Voice control is not supported on all devices or in all languages.
Instead of tapping the screen to control your Blue&Me TomTom 2, you can use your voice to control your Blue&Me TomTom 2.
For example, to increase the volume on your Blue&Me TomTom 2, you can say, "Increase volume." To view the list of available commands, tap Help in the Main menu then tap Product manuals and
then tap What to say.
Important: Voice control requires a computer voice. When there are no computer voices installed on your Blue&Me TomTom 2, this feature is not available.
To select a computer voice, tap Voices in the Settings menu, then tap Change voice and select a computer voice.
Using voice control
Voice control is switched on by default if it is supported for your chosen language. To switch off voice control and remove the button from the Driving view, tap Voice control in the
Settings menu and select Disable voice control. The following example shows how to use voice control to plan a trip to your Home address:
1. Tap the microphone button in the Driving view to turn on the microphone.
You see a screen with examples of commands you can say. Tap What to say to see a full list of commands you can say. Alternatively, tap Settings in the
Main menu, tap Voice control and then tap What to say.
2. When you hear "Say a command" followed by a tone, say a command of your choice. For
example, you can say "Drive home." Your Blue&Me TomTom 2 is only ready to listen after your hear the tone.
Voice control
35
While you are speaking the microphone monitor shows how well the device can hear your voice:
A green bar means the device can hear your voice. A red bar means your voice is too loud for the device to recognize individual
words. A gray bar means your voice is too quiet for the device to recognize individual
words.
For some phrases, your Blue&Me TomTom 2 repeats what you say and asks for confirmation. Tip: For the best recognition of what you say, speak normally without trying to articulate words in
an unnatural way.
3. If the command is correct, say "Yes." If the command is incorrect, say "No" and repeat the command after you hear the prompt and tone
again.
Your Blue&Me TomTom 2 plans a route from your current location to your destination.
Tip: To stop your Blue&Me TomTom 2 from listening for further commands, say "Cancel." To go back one step, say "Back."
Planning a trip using your voice
Important: In the interest of safety and to reduce distractions while you are driving, you should always
plan a route before you start driving.
Note: It's not possible to plan a route using your voice for all maps in all countries, or in all languages.
To plan a route to an address using speech, do the following:
1. Tap the voice control button in the Driving view.
2. When you hear the tone, say, "Navigate to address" or "Drive to address." Tip: Your device has either Navigate to or Drive to on the button in the Main Menu. When
planning a route to an address using speech, say "Navigate to address" if the button shows Navigate to or "Drive to address" if the button shows Drive to.
3. Say the name of the town.
36
Your Blue&Me TomTom 2 shows a list of towns which sound similar to what you said and tells you which town is at the top of the list.
If the town you hear is the same as the town you requested then say, "Done" or "OK" or "Yes" or "One" or tap the town at the top of the list.
If the town you hear is incorrect, but the correct town is in the list, say the number next to the correct town or tap the name of the town.
For example, if the correct city is Rotterdam and this is shown as the third item in the list, you can say, "Three" or tap the name, Rotterdam.
If the name is not in the list, then say "Back" or "No" or tap Back to return to the previous screen and say the town again when you hear the tone.
4. Say the street name. Your Blue&Me TomTom 2 shows a list of street names which sound similar to what you said and
tells you which street name is at the top of the list. If the street name you hear is the same as the street name you requested then say, "Done" or
"OK" or "Yes" or "One" or tap the street name at the top of the list. Tip: Different locations may have the same name, such as a road that spans multiple zip codes.
When this happens you need to look at the screen and tap the correct location. If the street name you hear is incorrect, but the correct street name is in the list, say the number
next to the correct street name or tap the street name in the list. If the street name is not shown in the list, say "Back" or "No" or tap Back to return to the previous
screen and then say the street name again when you hear the tone.
5. Say the house number. Important: Numbers need to been spoken in the same language as the button names and
menus on your Blue&Me TomTom 2.
37
Numbers should be pronounced in the same way you normally say a number, in one continuous sentence. So 357 is pronounced, "Three hundred and fifty seven."
If the number is shown correctly then say, "Done" or "OK" or tap the keyboard to enter the number. If the number is shown incorrectly then say, "Back" or "No" or tap the Backspace key and repeat
the number. Tip: If you say "Back" when there are no numbers on the screen, your Blue&Me TomTom 2 will
return you to the previous screen. When the number is shown correctly say, "Done" or "OK." Alternatively, enter the number by
tapping the screen.
6. When the route has been calculated and the route summary is shown, tap Done.
Your Blue&Me TomTom 2 starts to guide you to your destination, using spoken instructions and on-screen directions.
Entering addresses using your voice
Important: In the interest of safety and to reduce distractions while you are driving, you should always plan a route before you start driving.
Even if you don't use voice control to start planning a trip, you can still use your voice to enter the address.
To start planning a trip, tap Navigate to in the Main menu, then tap Spoken Address or Address. To enter the destination using your voice, tap one of the following buttons:
Spoken address
Tap this button to enter an address entirely using speech. Spoken address helps you to enter information without tapping the screen. This option recognizes the following spoken terms:
Commands: Yes, No, Back, Done, OK, Crossing.  Street names.  Cities and towns and their centers.  Favorites, zip codes and POIs.  Plan alternative route, Recalculate original, Avoid roadblock, Minimize
delays, Cancel route, Travel via... and Recent destination.
Tap this button at the base of the keyboard to use speech to enter an address. When the button is gray, you cannot use speech to enter an address.
38
Tips
Within the USA, first select a state. You can then use spoken address entry to enter the remainder
of the address.
Your Blue&Me TomTom 2 recognizes places and street names when they are spoken in the local
language using local pronunciation.
Spoken address entry is not possible for zip codes which must be entered using the keyboard.  Spoken address entry is not available for all maps in all countries.

About RDS-TMC
The Traffic Message Channel (TMC), also known as RDS-TMC, transmits traffic information as a radio signal and is available free of charge in many countries.
TMC is not a TomTom Service, but is available when using the TomTom RDS-TMC Traffic Receiver.
Note: TomTom is not responsible for the availability or quality of traffic information provided by the Traffic Message Channel.
The Traffic Message Channel (TMC) is not available in all countries. To check the availability of TMC services in your country, go to tomtom.com/5826.
Using traffic information
If you are using an RDS-TMC receiver to view TMC traffic information on your Blue&Me TomTom 2, connect the TomTom RDS-TMC Traffic Receiver to the USB connector on your Blue&Me TomTom 2.
The traffic sidebar is shown on the right side of the Driving view. The sidebar informs you about traffic delays while you drive, using glowing dots to show you where each traffic incident is located on your route.
The top of the traffic sidebar represents your destination and shows the total time delay due to traffic jams and other incidents on your route.
The central section of the traffic sidebar shows individual traffic incidents in the order they occur on your route.
The bottom of the traffic sidebar represents your current location and shows the distance to the next incident on your route.
To make the traffic sidebar more readable some incidents may not be shown. These incidents will always be of minor importance and only cause short delays.
The color of the pointers, as shown below, gives you an instant indication of the type of incident:
Unknown or undetermined situation.
Slow traffic.
Developing traffic jam.

78
Stationary traffic or road closure.
Taking the fastest route
Your Blue&Me TomTom 2 regularly looks for a faster route to your destination. If the traffic situation changes and a faster route is found, your Blue&Me TomTom 2 will offer to replan your trip so you can use the faster route.

To manually find and replan the fastest route to your destination, do the following:
1. Tap the traffic sidebar.
Tip: If you find that tapping the sidebar opens the Main menu instead of the traffic menu, try tapping the sidebar with your finger resting on the edge of the screen.
2. Tap Minimize delays.
Your Blue&Me TomTom 2 searches for the fastest route to your destination. The new route may include traffic delays. You can replan the route to avoid all traffic delays, but a
route which avoids all delays will usually take longer than the fastest route.
3. Tap Done.
Setting the radio frequency for RDS-TMC information
