9 Installing in your car Use the supplied mount to install your TomTom GO in your vehicle. Read the instructions about positioning your device before you install your GO. To install your GO, do the following: 1. Connect the supplied USB cable to the mount. If the mount is integrated into your GO, connect the USB cable to the device. Note: Use ONLY the USB cable supplied with your GO. Other USB cables may not work. 2. Connect the USB cable to the USB car charger and plug this into the power supply on your dashboard. 3. Choose the best smooth location, on your windscreen or side window, to mount your TomTom GO. Tip: If the mount is integrated into your GO, you can easily change the rotation of your device. Push the button on the back of the device to release the mount, then slide the mount out. Insert it back into the other side of the device. 4. Make sure that both the suction cup on the mount and your windscreen are clean and dry. 5. Press the suction cup of the mount firmly against your windscreen. 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 GO, place your GO in the mount, making sure that it clicks into place. Dashboard adhesive disks are available as part of a range of accessories for your GO. For more information, go to tomtom.com/accessories. Positioning the device Be careful where you install your GO. The GO shouldnt block or interfere with any of the following: Your view of the road. The controls in your vehicle. Your rear-view mirrors. The airbags. You should be able to reach your GO easily without leaning or stretching. In a car, you can attach your GO to the windscreen or side window or you can use a Dashboard Mount Disk to attach the mount to your dashboard.

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. Setting up Note: The language you choose will be used for all text on the screen. You can always change the language later in Language and Units in the Settings menu. When you first switch on your TomTom GO, you have to answer a few questions to set it up. Answer the questions by touching the screen. GPS reception When you first start your TomTom GO, it may need a few minutes to determine your position. In future, your position will be found much faster. To ensure good satellite reception, use your GO outdoors and keep it upright. Large objects such as tall buildings can sometimes interfere with reception. Important: QuickGPSfix contains information about satellite positions which helps your GO find your position faster. QuickGPSfix information is sent to Always Connected devices in real time and to Smartphone Connected devices when connected to TomTom services using your smartphone. You can also update QuickGPSfix using MyDrive. Sending information to TomTom When you first start navigating or you have reset your GO, your GO asks for permission to collect some information about your use of the navigation device. The information is stored on your GO until we retrieve it. We use it anonymously to improve our products and services. If you use our services, we will also use your location information to deliver the services to you. You can change whether you send this information with us at any time by doing the following: 1. In the Main Menu, select the Settings button. 2. Select System. 3. Select Your information. 4. Select the button to turn sending of information on or off.
