Unpacking
Unpack your TomTom GO box and identify the
contents. The model number of your TomTom
GO can be found on the bottom of the device
itself. You should have:
• TomTom GO (1). Its main features are a
touch-sensitive LCD screen, a power (On/
Off) button, a release button (for removing
TomTom GO from its cradle) and a Secure
Digital (SD) memory card slot (included in
GO 500 and GO 300 models).
• A pre-installed SD card (2) (included with
GO 500 and GO 300 models). The GO 700
includes a pre-installed hard disk.
• The component parts (3/4) of a suction-mount
cradle, for attaching to your windscreen.
• A DC power lead (5), with 12V cigarette
lighter adaptor. This is the normal way of providing power to TomTom GO when it’s in your
vehicle.
• An installation poster (6), showing how to
assemble the cradle, how to fix it to your
windscreen and how to insert TomTom GO.
• A carry case (7), for storing TomTom GO when
it’s not in your vehicle.
• A USB data cable (8) for connecting TomTom
GO to a Windows PC or Mac.
• A Microsoft® Windows® and Mac®
compatible CD (9) containing documentation
and optional extras.
• A Product Code Card (10) for product
activation, support and future map
upgrades.
• This Quick Start Guide (11).
• An AC adaptor (12) , included for you to charge and work with TomTom GO even when it’s
not in your vehicle (included with GO 700 and
GO 500 models). Note that this comes with
several international pin adaptors, for use anywhere in the world. When you use the adaptor,
please make sure it is cooled by placing it in a
ventilated area.
• A remote control (13) (included with GO 700
model), for operating TomTom GO when out
of reach. This is available as an accessory for
GO 700 and GO 500 models.

What's in the box?
NOTE: Do not expose TomTom GO to high or low temperatures. We recommend that you do not leave TomTom GO in
direct sunlight for long periods or in an unattended car on sunny days. High or low temperatures can cause permanent
damage. Do not attempt to service TomTom GO yourself! Do not open, puncture or disassemble it. Doing so may be
dangerous and will invalidate your warranty. Do not leave your TomTom GO in your glove box when driving.

Assembly
1. Assemble the suction-mount cradle as shown
in the installation poster.
2. Plug the small plug end of the DC power lead
into the socket on the back of the
cradle. Plug the other end into your vehicle’s
12V (cigarette lighter) socket.
3. Ease TomTom GO onto its cradle by locating
its front edge first and then rotating back firmly
until you hear a click. You’ll feel TomTom GO
lock into place. The green LED on TomTom
GO’s front panel will light up if the cradle is
also connected to your vehicle’s 12V socket.
4. Clean the inside of your windscreen (or side
window), to remove any dust and grease.
Place the cradle in a suitable location on your
windscreen and push the black plastic lever
to the right, fixing the cradle in position.
NOTE: Some newer vehicles may have a heat reflective shield embedded in the windscreen. In some
cases this can prevent proper GPS signal reception.
If this turns out to be a problem in your vehicle,
you will need to purchase and install the TomTom
Exter nal Antenna Kit (available as an accessory).
Tip:You don’t have to use the cradle if you don’t want
to. If necessary, TomTom GO can be positioned on its
own anywhere that’s convenient, provided that it’s safely
secured.
Under normal journey conditions, the suction
mount is perfectly sufficient to hold the cradle
in position. Note that suction may be lost if
left overnight, due to condensation and low
Installation
temperature. For this reason, and for security,
we recommend removing both the suction
mount cradle and TomTom GO when leaving
your vehicle overnight. To remove the cradle,
pull the suction mount lever to the left. If the
cradle still doesn’t detach from your windscreen, tug gently on the clear plastic tab at
the edge of the suction mount, to break the
vacuum seal.
Tip: To activate your 12V socket, you may need to set
your ignition key in an ‘Accessories’ position. Please
consult your vehicle handbook. In addition, TomTom GO
contains a rechargeable battery and can be used for up
to 4 hours without charging, so for short journeys it may
be possible to do without the DC power lead for simpler
and tidier operation.
To adjust the angle of TomTom GO, slacken
the adjustable knobs on the cradle and then
turn it gently. In addition to tilting the cradle
up and down and from side to side, you can
also rotate TomTom GO in the cradle, from
left to right, ±45°. When you’re happy, tighten
up the knobs again.
Tip: After using TomTom GO, remove it from the cradle
by pressing the release button while rotating the unit
forward gently. Put it in the supplied bag. If you want
to clean it, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use water or a
solvent.

Switching on for the first time
Starting up
1. Refer to your installation poster for setup
instructions.
2. Follow the on-screen instructions, using your
finger on the touchscreen to select your
preferences.
Using TomTom GO
Note: Your TomTom GO does not transmit your location,
so others cannot use it to track you while driving.
TomTom GO starts by displaying the navigation
view. The screen will appear in black and white
until your TomTom GO locates your current
position. Once this is done, the navigation view
is shown in full colour. In future, your position
will be found much faster, normally within a few
seconds. Everything on TomTom GO can be
accomplished easily using just your finger on the
touchscreen. Importantly, you can bring up the
main options menu by tapping your
finger somewhere in the middle of the screen.
Note: When you use the GO for the first time we advise
you to make a backup of your SD card using the backup
option on the CD.
As with many of the menus in TomTom GO, there
are more options than can be shown on one
screen. Try tapping on
a few times, to cycle
through all the different things you can do.
Note that this image of the main menu may vary per
model and region.

Switching on for the first time
Using the remote control
The remote control is included with the GO 700
model and is also available as an accessory for
GO 700 and GO 500 models.
You can use the TomTom remote control instead
of the main touchscreen in circumstances where
you’d rather not reach over and tap the screen
directly. The remote control uses radio waves so
you don’t need to point it at your TomTom GO.
Use the arrow buttons to select something on the
screen and the central ‘OK’ button to activate the
selected command button or icon.
You can change the loudness of the GO speaker
by using the volume buttons. The two keys near
the bottom of the remote control can be used
to mimic the buttons appearing at the bottom
left and right of the TomTom GO screen. Finally,
you can use the keyboard button to make an
on-screen keyboard appear or disappear, if
appropriate, allowing you to search for something
by name.
