dumImportant Safety Notices and Warnings
Global Positioning System
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite-based system that provides location and 
timing information around the globe. GPS is operated and controlled under the sole 
responsibility of the Government of the United States of America which is responsible for 
its availability and accuracy. Any changes in GPS availability and accuracy, or in environ-
mental conditions, may impact the operation of your TomTom device. TomTom does not 
accept any liability for the availability and accuracy of GPS.
Use with Care
Use of a TomTom device for navigation still means that you need to drive with due care 
and attention. 
Aircraft and Hospitals
Use of devices with an antenna is prohibited on most aircraft, in many hospitals and in 
many other locations. A TomTom device must not be used in these environments.
Taking care of your TomTom device
Do not leave your TomTom device or TomTom accessories on view when you leave your 
car. They may become an easy target for thieves.
We recommend that you use the safety preferences on your TomTom device, where avail-
able. The safety preferences are available in the Preferences menu.
Take care of your TomTom device and clean it correctly.
• If your device gets wet, dry it with a soft cloth.
• Do not open the casing of your device under any circumstances. Doing so may be dan-
gerous and will invalidate your warranty.
• Do not expose your device to high or low temperatures, which can cause permanent 
damage. For example, don’t leave it in the car on hot summer days or during cold winter 
nights.
Battery
This product uses a Lithium-Ion battery. Do not use it in a humid, wet and/or corrosive 
environment. Do not put, store or leave your product in or near a heat source, in a high 
temperature location, in strong direct sunlight, in a microwave oven or in a pressurized 
container, and do not expose it to temperatures over 60 C (140 F). Failure to follow these 
guidelines may cause the Lithium-Ion battery to leak acid, become hot, explode or ignite 
and cause injury and/or damage. Do not pierce, open or disassemble the battery. If the 
battery leaks and you come into contact with the leaked fluids, rinse thoroughly with water 
and seek medical attention immediately. For safety reasons, and to prolong the lifetime of 
the battery, charging will not occur at low (below 0 C/32 F) or high (over 45 C/113 F) tem-
peratures.
