To switch off your TomTom RIDER, press and hold the On/Off button for 2 seconds.

Setting up

First, you have to answer a few questions to set up your device and your Bluetooth
headset module. Answer the questions by tapping the screen. You will use the
touchscreen for everything you do with your TomTom RIDER.

Follow the instructions to establish a Bluetooth connection between your TomTom RIDER
and your Bluetooth headset module. See the Bluetooth headset module section below for
more information about your Bluetooth headset module.

Once you have answered the questions, your TomTom RIDER will display the Driving
View.

The screen is shown in black and white until your TomTom RIDER locates your current
position. Once this is done, the Driving View is shown in full colour.

Locating your current position

Your TomTom RIDER must be outside to be able to locate your current position. The first
time you start your TomTom RIDER, it takes up to 5 minutes for the device to find your
current position. In future, your position will be found much faster, normally within a few
seconds. If your TomTom RIDER takes longer than 5 minutes to locate your current
position, make sure that you are in an open place without tall buildings or trees around
you.

Your TomTom RIDER does not transmit your location, so others cannot use it to track
you while you are driving.

Note: Before driving with your TomTom RIDER, we recommend that yo u charge it
fully using the home charger.

TomTom RIDER uses a GPS receiver to locate your current position. For more information
about GPS, see this chapter: What is GPS?

To turn your Bluetooth headset module on, press and hold
the On/Off button until you see the blue indicator light.

To turn your Bluetooth headset module off, press and hold
the On/Off button until you see the red indicator light.

If you did not establish a Bluetooth connection between

establish the connection at any time. From the main
menu, tap Change Preferences. Tap the arrow twice to
open the third preferences menu. Tap Connect to

connection.

Taking care of your TomTom RIDER

It is important to take care of your TomTom RIDER and to clean it correctly.
 Use the screen cloth provided to wipe the screen of your TomTom RIDER; do not use

any liquid cleaners.

 Only open the compartment that contains the memory card slot when you are

indoors. Do not open the compartment when your TomTom RIDER is wet.

 When carrying your TomTom RIDER, always use the TomTom RIDER case provided.
 If your TomTom RIDER gets wet, dry it with a soft cloth.
 Do not open the casing of your TomTom RIDER under any circumstances.
 Do not use the memory card (SD card) with any device other than your TomTom

RIDER. Other devices may damage the memory card.

Mounting the TomTom RIDER on your
motorcycle

Where should I mount my TomTom RIDER?

When you choose where to mount your device, think about the following:

 The mounting options available
 The most comfortable position

Spend some time thinking about where to mount your TomTom RIDER on your
motorcycle. Not all mounts are suitable for all bikes. It should be in a position where you
can see it easily and where it does not block your vision.

Warning: The Adhesive Mount is very strong and it is very difficult to remove once it
has been attached to your motorcycle. Before attaching the Adhesive Mount to your
motorcycle, be sure that you have chosen the position where you finally want to
mount your TomTom RIDER.

Mounting your TomTom RIDER

There are four different mounts:

 Handlebar Mount
 Handlebar Adaptor
 Mirror Mount
 Adhesive Mount

The sections below describe how to use each mount. Make sure that you screw all parts
of the mounts together very tightly, otherwise the mount may move while you are
driving.

Handlebar Mount

[handlebarmount.jpg]

[Clampmount5.jpg]

The Handlebar Mount is attached directly onto the handlebars.
To use this mount, follow these steps:

1. Unscrew the Handlebar Mount using the Allen key .

2. Wrap the piece of rubber provided around the handlebars to
make the handlebars thick enough for the Handlebar Mount.
Cut the piece of rubber to adjust the thickness.

Note: The piece of rubber helps prevent vibration and
stops the Handlebar Mount from slipping while you are
driving.

3. Place the Handlebar Mount around the handlebars and over
the piece of rubber.

4. Screw the Handlebar mount together tightly using the Allen
key provided.

5. Screw the Holder to the Handlebar Mount using four of the
small screws included with the mounting kit.

If your TomTom RIDER is not in a comfortable position,
unscrew the Handlebar Mount slightly and adjust the angle

Handlebar adaptor

of the mount and the holder. Then screw the Handlebar
Mount together tightly again.

You can now place your TomTom RIDER in the Holder. See this
section: Placing your TomTom RIDER in the Holder

Mirror Mount

[mirrormount2.jpg]

The Handlebar Adaptor is secured by bolts next to the grip, as
shown. To use this mount, follow these steps:

1. Carefully remove the bolts that hold the grip in place. Do not
remove the grip from the handlebars.

2. Place the Handlebar Adaptor over the bolt holes.

3. Use the extra-long bolts provided to attach the Handlebar
Adaptor and the grip to the handlebars. Use an Allen key (not
provided) to tighten the bolts.

4. Attach the Handlebar Mount to the Handlebar Adapter. Follow
steps 2 – 4 in the section Handlebar Mount above.

You can now place your TomTom RIDER in the Holder. See this
section: Placing your TomTom RIDER in the Holder

The Mirror Mount is held in place by the wing mirror. If your
motorcycle or scooter has no mirrors but has the bolt holes for a
wing mirror, you can still use the Mirror Mount. To use this mount,
follow these steps:

[mirrormount7.jpg]

1. Unscrew one of the wing mirrors on your motorcycle.

2. Place first the rubber washer, then the Mirror Mount and finally
the metal washer over the bolt hole, as shown in the diagram.

Note: The washers help to prevent the mirror mount from
moving or from being damaged. Select the diameter of the
washers according to the diameter of the bolt hole.

3. Screw the wing mirror back into place. The wing mirror holds
