Getting startedInstall your TomTom XL in your car following the instructions on the 
installation poster at the start of this book.
To switch on your TomTom XL, press and hold the On/Off button for 2 
seconds. The first time you switch on your device, it may take a short while to 
start.  
You have to answer a few questions to set up your device.
Having problems?
In rare cases, your XL may not start correctly or may stop responding to your 
taps.
First, check that the battery is charged properly. To fully charge the battery, 
you need to charge it for at least 2 hours.
If this doesn’t work, you can reset your device. To do this, press and hold the 
Power button for fifteen seconds. Release the Power button when device 
begins to restart.
Charging your TomTom XL
Before you use your XL for the first time, it’s a good idea to charge it fully using 
the home charger, which takes about 2 hours. 
There is no charging light on your XL. To check the battery status and see 
when your XL is charging, switch on your device and tap the bottom right-
hand corner of the screen in the Driving View. The battery status is shown on 
the next page.
Improving reception
If your TomTom XL 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 XL to your computer, you can use TomTom 
HOME to download information about GPS satellite positions during the next 
7 days. This helps your XL to find your position faster.
Important: Some vehicles have heat reflective shielding in the windshield. 
This may prevent your XL from locating your current position.
Take care of your TomTom XL
Never leave your TomTom XL or accessories in view when you leave the car 
or they may become an easy target for thieves.

exposure may cause permanent damage.

Arrival times
When you plan a route, your TomTom XL asks you if you need to arrive at a 
particular time.
Tap YES to enter a preferred arrival time.
Your XL calculates your arrival time and shows you whether you will arrive on 
time.
You can also use this information to work out when you need to leave. If your 
XL shows that you will arrive 30 minutes early, you can wait and leave in 30 
minutes time, rather than arrive early.
Your arrival time is constantly recalculated during your trip. The status bar 
shows whether you will arrive on time or if you are going to be late, as shown 
below:
What are the other navigation options?
When you tap Navigate to..., you can set your destination in many ways, not 
just by entering the address. The other options are listed below:
You will arrive 55 minutes before the arrival time you entered.
If the estimated arrival time is more than five minutes before 
the time you entered, it is shown in green.
You will arrive 3 minutes before the arrival time you entered. 
If the estimated arrival time is less than 5 minutes before the 
time you entered, it is shown in yellow.
You will arrive 19 minutes late.
If the estimated arrival time is later than the time you entered, 
it is shown in red.
