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.

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.

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.
