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.
• 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 dan-
gerous 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.
Battery
This product uses a Lithium-Polymer battery. Do not use it in a humid, wet and/or corro-
sive 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 pressu-
rized container, and do not expose it to temperatures over 60 C (140 F). Failure to follow 
these guidelines may cause the Lithium-Polymer battery to leak acid, become hot, explode  
						

							64
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 life-
time of the battery, charging will not occur at low (below 0 C/32 F) or high (over 45 C/
113 F) temperatures.

lem with the battery, please contact TomTom customer support.

upon the windshield or side or rear windows.” Drivers in California should not use a suc-
tion mount on their windshield, side or rear windows.
Note: this section of the California Vehicle Code applies to anyone driving in California, not 
just California residents.
Minnesota State Legislature Statutes Section 169.71, subdivision 1, section 2 provides that 
“A person shall not drive or operate with any objects suspended between the driver and 
the windshield other than sun visors and rearview mirrors and electronic toll collection 
devices.”

residents.
TomTom Inc. bears no responsibility for any fines, penalties or damage that may be 
incurred by disregarding this notice. While driving in any state with windshield mounting 
restrictions, TomTom recommends the use of the supplied Adhesive Mounting Disk or its

This device complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled envi-
ronment. In order to avoid the possibility of exceeding the FCC radio frequency exposure 
limits, human proximity to the antenna shall not be less than 20cm (8 inches) during nor-
mal operation.
Radio and Television Interference
This equipment radiates radio frequency energy and if not used properly - that is, in strict 
accordance with the instructions in this manual - may cause interference to radio commu-
nications and television reception.
This device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital 
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reason-
able protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment 
generates, uses and can radiated radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in 
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communica-
tions. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular instal-
lation If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, 
which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to 
try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation distance between the equipment and the receiver. 
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the 
receiver is connected.
• Consult an experienced radio/TV technician for help. 
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance 
could void the user‘s authority to operate the equipment.
Important
This equipment was tested for FCC compliance under conditions that included the use of 
shielded cables and connectors between it and the peripherals. It is important that you use 
shielded cable and connectors to reduce the possibility of causing radio and television 
interference. Shielded cables, suitable for the product range, can be obtained from an 
authorised dealer. If the user modifies the equipment or its peripherals in any way, and 
these modifications are not approved by TomTom, the FCC may withdraw the user’s right 
to operate the equipment. For customers in the USA, the following booklet prepared by 
the Federal Communications Commission may be of help: “How to Identify and Resolve 
Radio-TV Interference Problems”. This booklet is available from the US Government Print-
ing Office, Washington, DC 20402. Stock No 004-000-00345-4.
