You are warned in three ways:

shown in the Driving View. If a speed restriction has been reported for the 
camera, the speed is also shown in the Driving View.

Important 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 con-
trolled 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 environmental 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 hospi-
tals 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 available. The safety preferences are available in the Preferences menu.
Take care of your TomTom device and clean it correctly.
• Use a soft cloth to wipe the screen of your device; do not use any liquid 
cleaners.
• 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 dangerous and will invalidate your warranty.
• If your device includes a memory card, do not use the memory card with 
any device other than a TomTom device. Other devices may damage the 
memory card.
• 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.
