3. Place the mount onto the handle bars so that the piece of rubber is sandwiched between the 
mount and the bars. 
 
4. Wrap the O-ring around the handle bars and lift it over the back hooks.

About activity tracking 
You can use your TomTom GPS watch to track how active you are. Here are some of things you can 
do:

 Set a daily goal for one of these metrics on your watch. 
 Use a weekly goal that is automatically generated based on your daily goal multiplied by 7. 
 See your daily and weekly progress for your set goal. 
 Upload your activity tracking metrics to the TomTom MySports  website and TomTom MySports 
mobile app.

sleep, distance and calorie data.
