The TomTom Wireless GPS Mk II receiver

Congratulations with the purchase of your TomTom Wireless GPS Mk II receiver. You
now have one of the smallest and most versatile wireless GPS receivers available today.

Your TomTom Wireless GPS Mk II uses Bluetooth technology to eliminate the need for
connecting cables, and a new, high performance GPS receiver to ensure the best possible
reception wherever you go.

This high performance GPS receiver is ideal for use in urban environments. The high
sensitivity assures safe navigation even when you do not have a clear view of the sky. On
the road or walking around the city streets, it will make sure you find your way with ease.

Note: In certain situations the GPS signal strength drops so low that even the
TomTom Wireless GPS MkII can find it difficult to keep you located. When this
happens you may see a “spinning” effect in the 3D view, as the direction in which
you are traveling becomes more difficult to calculate. In this situation you may
find that the “top-down” navigation view is easier to understand. To switch to
this view, use the “Turn off 3D display” preference.

The GPS receiver has an high capacity battery that can be used all day on a single charge.

Use the cigarette lighter adapter to easily power and charge your TomTom Wireless GPS
Mk II receiver in your car. An AC power adapter is also available.

Please take some time to study this manual. It contains important safety and regulatory
information.

2.1 Global Positioning System

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite-based system that provides location
and timing information around the globe. GPS is operated and controlled under the sole
responsibility of the Government of the United States of America, who are responsible
for its availability and accuracy. Any changes in GPS availability and accuracy may
impact the operation of your GPS receiver. Environmental conditions will affect the
operation of your GPS receiver. TomTom B.V. cannot accept any liability for the
availability and accuracy of GPS.

2.2 Use With Care

Use of a GPS receiver for navigation does not by any means substitute for the need to
drive with due care and attention.

2.3 Aircraft and Hospitals

Use of devices with an antenna is prohibited on most aircraft, in many hospitals and in
many other locations. The TomTom Wireless GPS Mk II receiver must not be used in
these environments.
