startInstalling the Dash Dock
Use the Dash Dock to install your Blue&Me-TomTom navigation device inside the car.
To attach the Dash Dock, insert the base of the dock into the dash plug on the car dash-
board. 
To insert your navigation device into the dock, push the button on the front of the dock to 
open the top bracket. Place the bottom of the device into the dock and then push the top 
bracket of the dock down until it clicks into place. Rotate your device to a position that suits 
you best.
To remove the navigation device, press the button on the front of the dock and lift the nav-
igation device out. 
To release the dock from the dashboard, push the lower button on each side of the shaft 
and pull out the dock.
Switching on and off
To switch on your navigation device manually, press and hold the On/Off button until you 
see the start-up screen. The first time you switch on your navigation device, it may take a 
short time to start.
With the latest version of the application for your Blue&Me-TomTom, your navigation 
device starts automatically as soon as it is powered by the dock. You can update the appli-
cation using TomTom HOME.
To set up your navigation device you need to answer a few questions by tapping the 
screen. You then need to connect your navigation device to Blue&Me in your car.
Note: Your dealer may have connected your navigation device to Blue&Me for you. If this 
is the case, you can already start using your device.
Device not starting
In rare cases, your Blue&Me-TomTom navigation device may not start correctly or may 
stop responding to your taps.
First, check that the battery is properly charged. 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 for 15 seconds and release the button when your device begins to restart.
GPS reception
When you first start your Blue&Me-TomTom 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. Large objects such 
as tall buildings can sometimes interfere with reception.
Take care of your device
Never leave your Blue&Me-TomTom navigation device or accessories on view when you 
leave the car as they may become an easy target for thieves.
You can set a password which must be entered every time you start your device.
It is important to take care of your device.
• Your device is not designed for use in extreme temperatures and any such exposure 
may cause permanent damage.
• Do not open the casing of your device under any circumstances. Doing so may be dan-
gerous and will invalidate the warranty.
• Wipe or dry the screen of your device using a soft cloth. Do not use any liquid cleaners.
Safety preferences
We recommend using the safety preferences to make your driving as safe as 
possible. The safety preferences include, for example, the following options:
• Hide most menu options when driving
• Show safety reminders
• Warn when driving faster than allowed
You can also drive more safely by using voice commands to control your Blue&Me-
TomTom.

each other using a Bluetooth connection.
To pair your navigation device with Blue&Me, do the following:
1. Turn your car key to the MAR position.
2. Press the MAIN/MENU button on your steering wheel to open the Blue&Me Main Menu 
on the cluster display in your car.
3. Use the arrow buttons on the steering wheel to navigate to the Settings Menu.
4. Select Settings, then select Pairing.
A 4-digit PIN code appears on the cluster display. You will use this PIN in a later step.
5. On your navigation device, tap Change preferences, then tap Blue&Me.
6. Tap Find Blue&Me.
7. When your navigation device asks if you want to establish a connection, tap Yes.
8. When your navigation device asks if you want to start searching for Blue&Me, tap Yes.
9. Enter the Blue&Me PIN on your navigation device. This is the PIN that was shown on the 
cluster display of your car (see Step 4 above).
A message on the navigation device and the cluster display confirms that the connec-
tion is successful. A confirmation message is shown each time the Blue&Me-TomTom 
device is connected or disconnected from Blue&Me.
When your navigation device and your car have been paired, the Car Menu button appears 
in the Main Menu of your navigation device.
Occasionally, you may need to repeat the pairing procedure. Take note that the PIN code 
will change every time the procedure is repeated. To connect your Blue&Me-TomTom 
device to a different car, you need to carry out the full pairing and connection procedure.
