ent places.

speed check area. To change the settings, tap Alert settings in the Safety Cameras menu.

your current speed. 
As you approach the start of an average speed check zone, you see a visual warning in the Driving

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING DRIVING IN CALIFORNIA AND MINNESOTA 
California Vehicle Code Section 26708 Material Obstructing or Reducing Drivers View permits 
mounting of a navigation device on the windshield as follows: A portable Global Positioning 
System (GPS), which may be mounted in a seven-inch square in the lower corner of the wind-
shield farthest removed from the driver or in a five-inch square in the lower corner of the wind-
shield nearest to the driver and outside of an airbag deployment zone, if the system is used only 
for door-to-door navigation while the motor vehicle is being operated. Drivers in California should 
not use a suction mount on their 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 wind-
shield other than sun visors and rearview mirrors and electronic toll collection devices. 
Note: this Minnesota Stature applies to anyone driving in Minnesota, not just Minnesota 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 Alternative Mount-
ing Kit, which includes multiple options for mounting TomTom devices on the dashboard and the 
air vents. See tomtom.com for more information about these mounting options.

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 reasonable protection 
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can 
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, 
may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that 
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful inter-
ference 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 between the equipment and receiver. 
 Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver 
is connected.
