m RiderSwitching on
Press and hold the On/Off button for 2 seconds, or until your TomTom Rider starts.
The first time you switch on your TomTom Rider, it may take up to 20 seconds to start. To 
switch off your TomTom Rider, press and hold the On/Off button for 2 seconds.
Before you use your Rider for the first time, it’s a good idea to charge it fully. 
The battery in your TomTom Rider navigation device charges when you connect it to the 
home charger or to your computer.
Note: 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.
Setting up
First, you have to answer a few questions to set up your device. Answer the questions by 
tapping the screen. You will use the touchscreen for everything you do with your TomTom 
Rider.
Locating your current position
Your TomTom Rider must be outside to be able to locate your current position. Make sure 
that you are in an open place without tall buildings or trees around you.
The first time you start your Rider, it can take a few minutes for the device to find your 
current position. In the future, your position will be found much faster, normally within a 
few seconds.
Your Rider does not transmit your location, so others cannot use it to track you while you 
are driving.
TomTom Rider uses a GPS receiver to locate your current position.
Mounting your navigation device
Attach the RAM™ mount kit to your motorcycle as shown on the Installation Poster, then 
place your Rider in the holder. When you are attaching the mount kit to your motorcycle, 
follow these guidelines:
• If you are unsure about attaching the mount kit yourself, ask a professional to fit it for 
you.
• If you choose to attach the mount kit yourself, note that the Active Dock has a built-in 
fuse. This means that you don’t need to add a fuse yourself while performing the con-
nection between the device and the motorcycle battery. 
• Make sure that the mount kit does not interfere with any of the controls on the motor-
cycle.

• Always use the correct tools. If you use unsuitable tools, you may damage or break the 
mount kit.
• Do not overtighten nuts. You may crack parts of the mount kit or damage your handle-
bars if you overtighten the nuts.
• If you are using the u-bolt, don’t forget to put the rubber caps provided over the 
exposed threads.
Damage due to modifications, improper installation, road hazards or accident, are not cov-
ered. Neither RAM nor TomTom shall be liable for any injury, loss, or damage, direct or 
consequential, arising out of improper installation, or inability to use product. Before use, 
the user shall determine the suitability of the product for its intended use. The user 
assumes all risk and liability, whatsoever, in connection with the mount.
Using a headset
We recommend using a compatible headset with your TomTom Rider to hear spoken 
instructions, make and receive hands-free phonecalls and hear warning sounds on your 
Rider. This makes riding with your Rider as safe as possible. TomTom recommends the 
Cardo scala-rider™ Bluetooth® headset. For more information and a full list of compatible 
headsets, go to tomtom.com/riderheadsets.
The Cardo scala-rider™ Bluetooth® headset is included in some products. The instruc-
tions below describe how to set up this headset.
To turn the headset on, press and hold the on/off button for 10 seconds, until the LED 
flashes blue 3 times. An ascending alert tone is played. When the headset is on, the LED 
flashes blue every 3 seconds.
To turn the headset off, press and hold the on/off button for 3 seconds, until the LED 
flashes red 3 times. A descending alert tone is played.
If you did not establish a Bluetooth connection between your Bluetooth headset and your 
TomTom Rider when you first turned your Rider on, you can establish the connection at 
any time.
From the Main Menu, tap options. Tap Connect to headset and follow the instructions to 
establish the connection.
Attach your headset to your helmet as shown at the start of this guide. Make sure you posi-
tion the microphone correctly. For best results, don’t position the microphone directly in 
front of your mouth, position it just to the side of your mouth.

Quick 
MenuAbout the Quick Menu
The Quick Menu offers a fast and safe way to use your TomTom Rider. 
When you use the Quick Menu, the number of taps you need to make is reduced and this 
makes the device easier to use with gloves.
There are over twenty Quick Menu items to choose from. You can choose just one or sev-
eral depending on the features you use the most.
Tip: When you see this symbol in the guide, it means that this is an option that can 
be added to your Quick Menu for easy access.
Setting up the Quick Menu
To set up the Quick Menu, do the following:
1. Tap the screen to bring up the Main Menu.
2. Tap options in the Main Menu.
3. Tap Quick menu preferences.
4. Select one or more checkboxes next to the options you want to include in your Quick 
Menu.
5. Tap Done.
Your Quick Menu is now ready to use. To use the Quick Menu, go to the Driving View and 
tap this button:
Using the Quick Menu
Here are some examples of how you can use the Quick Menu:
• Changing a route to include a petrol station normally requires 5-6 taps but when you 
use the Quick menu, you only need to tap twice.
• When you use the Call button in the Mobile phone menu, you can call any phone 
number, but it requires several taps. The Call button in the Quick Menu, however, is like 
a speed-dial button and allows you to call a pre-set number with very few taps.
• If you want to skip a waypoint on your scenic route, you can do with this with two taps 
in the Quick Menu by using Go to previous waypoint or Go to next waypoint. It takes at 
least six taps using the Main Menu.
