Positioning the device
Read me first
Consider carefully where to install your TomTom navigation device in your car. The navigation
device 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
Any airbags
When your navigation device is installed, you should be able to reach the device easily without
leaning or stretching. You can attach the device to the windscreen or you can use a Dashboard
Mount Disk to attach the mount to your dashboard. Dashboard Mount Disks are included with
some products and are available as accessories. The following diagrams show where you can
safely attach the mount.
Installing in your car
Use the mount provided with your device to install your TomTom PRO device in your vehicle. You
can attach your device to your windscreen or use a Dashboard Mount Disk to attach your device
to your dashboard.
To install your device, do the following:
1. Choose the best location to mount your TomTom PRO device. The location should be as
smooth as possible.
2. If you are using the Dashboard Mounting Disk, clean the dashboard and install the disk.
3. Make sure that both the suction cup on the mount and your windscreen or disk are clean and
dry.
4. Connect the USB cable to the mount.
5. Press the suction cup of the mount firmly against your windscreen or disk.
6. Turn the rubber grip near the base of the mount in a clockwise direction until you feel it lock.
7. If your mount is not integrated into your device, place your device in the mount, making sure
that it clicks into place.
10
Page 11
8. Plug the USB car charger into the power supply on your dashboard.
Your navigation device is now installed. The next step is to switch it on and answer a few questions.
Switching on and off
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, you have to hold the button down for up to 15
seconds.
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 TomTom PRO 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 and keep your device upright. Large objects such as tall buildings can sometimes interfere with reception. GPS reception
can also be affected if the device is placed flat on a surface or held flat in your hand.
About MyTomTom
MyTomTom helps you manage the contents and services of your TomTom PRO 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.
11
Page 12
Setting up MyTomTom
To set up MyTomTom, do the following:
1. Connect your computer to the internet.
2. Start a browser and go to business.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 and the wind-
screen dock. 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.
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
12
Page 13
If your device supports voice control, you can also drive more safely by using voice control to
control your navigation device.
Device not starting
In rare cases, your TomTom PRO 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 until your device begins to restart.
Charging your device
The battery in your TomTom PRO navigation device charges when you connect it to the car
charger or to your computer.
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.
Sharing information with TomTom
When you first start navigating or perform a reset, your device asks for permission to collect some
information about your use of the navigation device. The information is stored on the device until
we retrieve it. We use it anonymously to improve our products and services. If you use LIVE services, we will also use your location information to deliver the services to you.
You can change whether you share this information with us at any time by doing the following:
1. In the Main Menu, tap Settings.
2. Tap Me and my device.
3. Tap My information.
4. Tap No to stop sharing or tap Yes to start sharing.
Note: If you choose not to share this information, you will no longer receive LIVE services. This
is because LIVE services need to send the location of your device to TomTom in order to receive the traffic information related to where you are. The end date of your subscription remains
the same, even if you do not share this information with us.
Additional information
Only if you give us your permission, your navigation device will continuously collect information
and send it to TomTom at regular intervals. The information is also stored on your device until you
connect it to your PC, then the information is sent to TomTom and deleted from your device. The
information includes details that identify the navigation device, details about routes and locations,
your MyTomTom account name and information entered while you were using the navigation
device.
13
Page 14
TomTom uses this information to be able to deliver LIVE services to you and to improve the HD
Traffic service.
Within twenty minutes of switching off your navigation device, TomTom automatically and irreversibly destroys any information that allows identification of you or your device. This, now anonymous, information is used to improve TomTom’s products and services, such as maps, reports
on Points of Interest and average speeds driven. These products and services are also used by
government agencies and businesses.
Using your navigation device, you can join the MapShare Community or report speed cameras. If
you choose to use either of these services, your reports, that include location information and
your MyTomTom account name, are sent to TomTom and kept together with your MyTomTom
account. TomTom then uses your information to improve its maps and speed cameras.
If you no longer allow sharing of information, none of the above information is sent to TomTom
and information previously stored on your device is deleted. You won’t be able to receive HD
Traffic or mobile speed camera locations, or use any other LIVE services.
TomTom will not give anyone else access to the information collected from your navigation device.
In choosing to provide TomTom with information you are helping to make driving better, specifically by improving maps, traffic flows and reducing congestion. We appreciate your help.
This navigation device uses a GSM network that contains location information about your navigation device. By law, the network operator may be required to retain this location and other information for law enforcement purposes and TomTom has no influence over this. If you disable information sharing the mobile network connection is not active and the network operator cannot
store location information.
If you think that your information is not being used for the purpose for which you have provided it
to TomTom, contact us at tomtom.com/support.
See our privacy policy at tomtom.com/privacy.
Safety Notice
Some navigation devices contain a GSM/GPRS module which can interfere with electrical devices
such as cardiac pacemakers, hearing aids and aviation equipment.
Interference with these devices may endanger the health or life of you or others.
If your device includes a GSM/GPRS module, do not use it near unprotected electrical units or in
areas where the use of mobile telephones is prohibited, such as hospitals and aircraft.
Take care of your navigation device
It is important to take care of your device:
Do not open the casing of your device under any circumstances. Doing so may be dangerous
and will invalidate the warranty.
Wipe or dry the screen of your device using a soft cloth. Do not use any liquid cleaners.

About truck navigation
Truck navigation
When planning a route for a large vehicle such as a truck or a bus, TomTom Truck Navigation
helps you to avoid potential hazards such as low bridges.
Important: You must pay attention to all traffic signs, especially those relating to your vehicle’s
dimensions and weight. We cannot guarantee you will never encounter them on your route and
ignoring such restrictions can be dangerous.
Where truck-specific information is included in the map, truck navigation takes this into account
together with your vehicle profile.
The enhanced truck navigation routing also works independently of the truck-specific map information. It favours major roads, assumes you are travelling at a lower average speed and also selects routes without sharp turns.
Important: Truck-specific features are only supported when using a truck map.
Setting a vehicle profile
To use truck navigation, you need to set your vehicle profile. A vehicle profile is a collection of
information about the vehicle you are driving or planning a route for.
To set your profile in the Settings menu, follow the steps below.
1. Tap the screen to bring up the Main Menu.
2. Tap Settings.
3. Tap Edit vehicle profile.
4. Tap the vehicle type that you are using for this journey.
5. If you selected the Truck profile for your vehicle, you can then set the following information:
16
Page 17
Vehicle weight and maximum weight per axle
Vehicle length, height and width
Vehicle maximum speed
Hazardous materials (HAZMAT)
Note: You can't set this information if you selected Car as your vehicle profile.
The next time you plan a trip, a route that is suitable for your vehicle will be calculated.
Note: If no large vehicle route is possible because your starting point or destination is limited
by a restriction, you are warned and offered a truck route ignoring the applicable restriction.
6. You are asked if you want to switch on restriction or dead end warnings. Tap Yes to switch
warnings on. Tap No to switch warnings off.
Note: You can change the settings for restriction and dead end warnings at any time.
You can also change your vehicle profile when planning a route. After choosing an address option, tap Change to change your vehicle profile. You can also change your vehicle profile when
planning an itinerary or when planning a route as described below. Plan your route in the normal
way and after choosing an address option, you’ll see a screen with your current vehicle profile.
Tap Change to change it.
Restriction and dead end warnings
Safety can be increased by the prevention of unnecessary manouevres. Restriction warnings are
given if you are driving without instructions or if you are disregarding instructions. Dead end
warnings are given if the destination of your route ends in a street with a dead end.
Restriction and dead end warnings are switched on by default. To change the warning sound or
switch off the warnings, edit your vehicle profile using the Settings menu.
17
Page 18
If warnings are switched on and your destination is located in a dead end road, a warning message is shown after route planning. Before entering the dead end road, you are reminded by a
warning icon shown in the Driving View so that you can react in time. A restriction warning is
shown if you drive without navigation instructions and a restriction on the road you are driving on
conflicts with your vehicle profile.
Viewing blocked truck routes
If your vehicle profile is set to truck, you can see when a road is blocked due to truck-related restrictions on the map.
The blocked road sections are coloured in purple as shown below and indicate potential hazards
for trucks such as low bridges.
18
Page 19
You can see blocked truck routes in the map browser, the route summary screen and when indi-
cating a map correction on the map.

23
Page 24
To take the alternative route, tap the balloon at the top of the screen. If you don't want to follow
the alternative route, keep driving to continue to receive instructions for your original route.
Tip: The alternative route disappears when it is no longer faster than your original route or it is
too late for you to choose it.
To change how you are asked about alternative routes, tap Settings and then Route planning. Tap
Next until you reach Replanning settings.
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 Route planning, then Route types. Tap Ask me every time I
plan.
