Take care of your TomTom RIDER
It is important to take care of your RIDER and to clean it correctly. 
• Use a soft cloth to wipe the screen of your RIDER; do not use any liquid 
cleaners.
• If your RIDER gets wet, dry it with a soft cloth. 
• Do not open the casing of your RIDER under any circumstances. Doing so 
may be dangerous and will invalidate your warranty.
• Do not use the memory card (SD card) with any device other than a 
TomTom device. Other devices may damage the memory card.
• Do not expose your RIDER 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.

Setting up
First, you have to answer a few questions to set up your device and your 
Bluetooth headset module. Answer the questions by tapping the screen. You 
will use the touchscreen for everything you do with your TomTom RIDER.
Follow the instructions to establish a Bluetooth connection between your 
TomTom RIDER and your Bluetooth headset module.
See the Bluetooth headset module section below for more information about 
your Bluetooth headset module.
Once you have answered the questions, your TomTom RIDER will display the 
Driving View.
The screen is shown in black and white until your TomTom RIDER locates 
your current position. Once this is done, the Driving View is shown in full 
colour.
Locating your current position
Your TomTom RIDER must be outside to be able to locate your current 
position. The first time you start your RIDER, it takes up to 5 minutes for the 
device to find your current position.
In future, your position will be found much faster, normally within a few 
seconds. If your RIDER takes longer than 5 minutes to locate your current

position, make sure that you are in an open place without tall buildings or trees 
around you.
Your RIDER does not transmit your location, so others cannot use it to track 
you while you are driving.

information about GPS, see How does navigation work? on page 67.
