Battery notes
For information on connecting your computer, see  Using TomTom HOME 
(43).
Note : Your TomTom ONE uses a small amo unt of battery power to remember 
the last screen being shown when the device is switched off.
If you do not charge your ONE for a pr olonged period of time, the next time 
you start your ONE it will show the de fault starting screen. All other device 
settings will still be maintained.
Improving reception
If your TomTom ONE takes longer than 5 minutes to find your current 
position, make sure that the device is in an open space away from tall objects, 
such as buildings or trees.
When you connect your TomTom ONE to your computer, you can use 
TomTom HOME to download information  about GPS satellite positions during 
the next 7 days. This helps your  ONE to find your position faster.
Important: Some vehicles have heat reflective shielding in the windscreen. 
This may prevent your ONE from locating your current position.
