    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 windshield 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 windshield are clean and dry. 
    5. Press the suction cup of the mount firmly against your windshield.  
    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 rearview 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 windshield or side window or you can use a Dashboard Mount Disk to attach the 
    mount to your dashboard.   
    Switching on and off 
    Switching your device on 
    Press the On/Off button until your device starts. If the device was off you see the map view. If your 
    device was sleeping you see the last screen you were looking at.  
    Putting your device to sleep 
    To put your navigation device to sleep, press the On/Off button and then release it.  
    Get going  
    						
    							10 
     
     
     
    You can also press the On/Off button for more than 2 seconds until you see the Sleep and Turn Off 
    buttons. Select Sleep to make the device sleep. 
    Tip: To send your navigation device to sleep when the USB cable is unplugged or whenever it is 
    removed from the mount, go to Battery settings in the Settings menu. 
    Switching your device off completely 
    To switch off your navigation device completely, you can do one of the following: 
     Press and hold the On/Off button for more than 2 seconds until you see the Sleep and Turn Off 
    buttons. Select Turn Off to switch off the device. Select the back button if you dont want to 
    switch your device off. 
     Press and hold the On/Off button for more than 5 seconds until the device switches off.  
    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 the 
    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 to 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. 
    Note: If you choose not to send location information to us, you will no longer receive our 
    services. This is because 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 send this information to us. 
    Additional 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.
