Important safety notices and warnings

Important: Read the following safety instructions carefully. Read the instructions in this document

carefully.

TomTom Telematics accept no liability for damage that results from disregarding the safety instructions. This document is part of the product. Keep it in a safe place. If you pass the unit on to a new user, make sure you give them this document as well.

Positioning

Position the device in such a way that it doesn’t block or interfere with your view of the road, the controls in your vehicle, or the rear-view mirrors and airbags.

Danger of explosion

Parts of the TomTom LINK 610 can cause sparks that can lead to explosions. This may endanger human health and life. Do not use the unit in areas with high risk of explosion. When using a TomTom LINK 610 in a vehicle fuelled by liquefied gas, follow the safety regulations of the country in which the vehicle is operated.

Damage caused through improper installation

The installation and initial operation of the unit must be performed by authorised personnel only, for example, a qualified radio dealer or an automotive electronics workshop.

Risk of injury in case of accidents

Do not mount the unit or accessories in the inflation area of airbags or in the impact area for the head or knees. Choose an installation location that will avoid interference with displays, safety equipment and controls.

Damage to the chassis

Make sure you do not drill into parts of the chassis that have structural or security-related functions. This is because you cannot be certain that they will function properly after modification.

Risk of fire

Make sure you do not drill into covered wiring harnesses, fuel lines or similar components. Drilling into these can cause fire.

Repair and replacement

Repairs must be carried out by authorised and qualified personnel only. Never replace damaged parts of the unit yourself. Send the defective unit to TomTom Telematics for repair. Only the qualified staff of TomTom Telematics are authorised to repair or replace parts.

Safety first

Damage to the device

Short-circuits inside the unit can be caused by contact with water or other liquids. The unit may be damaged by contact with water. Use and store the unit in an area protected from water.

* Make sure this wire is fused with max. 10A.

** Twisted pair. Loose ends of CAN L/CAN H wires must be protected against short circuits. Separate by using a heat shrink tube.

Connection overview

Please refer to the TomTom Telematics tooling for the CAN configuration of your specific vehicle.

Tips for the installation

▪ For direct connection to the CAN bus select the wire to be as short as possible and needed.

Do not wind the CAN wires.

▪ Always read the vehicle manufacturer manual for working on the electric BUS system of the

vehicle.

▪ Do not cut the vehicle's wire harness but use a special wire stripper. ▪ If you have to remove the insulation of wires that are close to each other (e.g. CAN wires),

make sure that the places where the insulation is removed are at least 2 cm away from each other to avoid short circuits.

▪ After the installation, places with removed insulation need to be secured with electrical

insulation tape (if possible with heat shrink) and afterwards with a layer of fabric insulation tape.

Note: You can use the TomTom LINK CAN Sensor 100 accessory to establish a contactless connection to the CAN 1 or CAN 2 bus.
