Getting
started
Switching on and off
Install your TomTom GO navigation device
in your car following the instructions in the
installation section at the start of this book.
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 device, it may take a short time to start.
Setting up
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.
You are asked whether you make regular
trips to the same locations. If you tap YES,
you can enter these destinations as your
favourite destinations. Every time you
switch on your device, you can immediately
select one of these locations as your destination.
To change these destinations or select a
new destination, tap Start-up preferences in
the Preferences menu, then select Ask for a
destination.
Getting started
Device not starting
In rare cases, your TomTom GO navigation
device may not start correctly or may stop
responding to your taps.
First, check that the battery is properly
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.

Battery notes
The battery in your TomTom GO navigation
device charges when you connect it to the
car charger or to your computer.
When you connect your device to a computer, you are asked if you want to connect to
the computer. If you select No and then do
not tap the screen within three minutes, the
device will automatically switch off. This
happens so that the battery can charge
faster.
Note: 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.
GPS reception
When you first start your TomTom GO 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.
The TomTom GO 950 includes Enhanced
Positioning Technology or EPT. EPT automatically estimates your position when the
GPS signal is lost while you are driving,
such as when you are in a tunnel. When EPT
is in use, the EPT symbol is shown in the
Driving View.

Safety
Positioning the 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.
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 Dash-
Safety
board Mount Disks and alternative mounting solutions, go to tomtom.com/
accessories.
Installing the Active Dock
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 glass 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.
