Push your TomTom navigation module into the car dock in your car. To remove your nav-
igation module from the car dock, press the release button on the car dock. Your dealer 
can install the car dock and connect it to the Sony XNV.
The display of the Sony XNV is also used as the navigation module display. Use the Sony 
XNV touch screen to operate your navigation module.
Switching on and off
The TomTom navigation module switches on simultaneously with the Sony XNV. Select 
Navi in the main menu of the Sony XNV.
Until a connection has been established between the Sony XNV and the navigation mod-
ule, waiting for Navi connection is displayed. In the case of a cold boot of the navigation 
module,the start-up image of the module is visible as soon as a connection has been 
established.
Under extreme temperature conditions or if the battery of the navigation module is empty, 
a warning screen will be displayed. The module will start-up as soon as the battery tem-
perature is within specifications and the battery is charged sufficiently.
Setting up
Important: Take care to select the correct language, since the language you choose will 
be used for all menus and written instructions.
When you first switch on your device, you have to answer a few questions to set up the 
device. Answer the questions by tapping the screen.
GPS reception
When you first start your TomTom navigation module, 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.

Setting up MyTomTom
To set up MyTomTom, do the following:
1. Connect your computer to the internet.
2. Start a browser and go to tomtom.com/getstarted. 
3. Click Download now.
Your browser downloads the MyTomTom support application, which you need to 
install on your computer in order to connect your device to MyTomTom. Follow the 
instructions on the screen if you are asked questions while downloading.
4. Connect your device to your computer using the USB cable.
Your device is then recognised, and possible updates are offered.
Important: You should plug the USB connector directly into a USB port on your computer 
and not into a USB hub or USB port on a keyboard or monitor.
Once the MyTomTom support application is installed on your computer, you can access 
MyTomTom from the system tray on your computer.
Tip: When you connect your navigation device to your computer, MyTomTom tells you if 
there are any updates for your device.
Device not starting
In rare cases, your TomTom navigation module may not start correctly or may stop 
responding to your taps.
The battery may not be charged enough. The battery charges when the navigation module 
is docked in the car dock and the Sony XNV is powered, or when the module is connected 
to the computer. The screen shows a warning if there is a problem with the battery.
The battery temperature may be too high or too low. Also in this case the screen shows a 
warning. The navigation module will start-up if the battery temperature is within the spec-
ifications.
If the battery is charged but navigation is still not available, you may need to reset the nav-
igation module. To reset your navigation module, first remove it from the car dock by 
pressing the release button. Then press the reset button on the back of the navigation 
module for at least 10 seconds. Push the navigation module back into the car dock.

and not into a USB hub or USB port on a keyboard or monitor.
Safety Notice
Your TomTom navigation module contains 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, so in 
these cases remove your TomTom navigation module from the car dock.
As your TomTom navigation module 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 airplanes.
Take care of your navigation device
Never leave your TomTom navigation module or accessories on view when you leave the 
car as they may become an easy target for thieves.
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. Extended exposure to sun light may lead to early dete-
rioration in battery performance. 
• Do not open the casing of your device under any circumstances. Doing so may be dan-
gerous and will invalidate the warranty.
