Before you start... Before you start... Switching on and off To switch your TomTom GO on or off, press and hold the On/Off button for 2 seconds. The first time you switch on, it may take a short while for your device to start. Note: In rare cases, your GO may not start correctly. If this happens, press the reset button, then switch on the device again. Setting up To set up your TomTom GO you need to answer a few questions by tapping the screen. Important: Take care to select the correct language, since the language you choose will be used for all menus and written instructions. Battery notes We recommend that you fully charge your TomTom GO the first time that you connect it to the Home dock. It takes up to 2 hours to charge the battery completely. When you place your GO in the Home dock, you are asked if you wish to connect to the computer. If you select No, the device will switch off if you do not tap the screen for three minutes. This happens so that the battery can recharge at a faster rate. For information on connecting your computer, see Using TomTom HOME on page 101. Note: Your TomTom GO uses a small amount of battery power to remember the last screen being shown when the device is switched off. If you do not charge your GO for a prolonged period of time, the next time you start your GO it will show the default starting screen. All other device settings will still be maintained. Improving reception If your TomTom GO 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. 4 When you connect your TomTom GO to your computer, you can use TomTom HOME to download information about GPS satellite positions during the next 7 days. This helps your GO to find your position faster. Important: Some vehicles have heat reflective shielding in the windscreen. This may prevent your GO from locating your current position. The TomTom External Antenna Kit (available for purchase as an accessory) can help to improve reception. Windscreen holder Use the windscreen holder to install your TomTom GO inside your car. To attach the holder, press the suction cup firmly to the windscreen in your car, in an area of the windscreen where the glass is flat. Make sure that both the holder and your windscreen are clean and dry before you attach the holder. Place the holder so that it does not interfere with your view of the road. Home dock The Home dock is used for charging your TomTom GO when it is not in the car and for connecting your GO to your computer. When connected to your computer, you can use TomTom HOME to manage your GO. For information about TomTom HOME, see Using TomTom HOME on page 101. Take care of your TomTom GO Never leave your TomTom GO or accessories on view when you leave the car or they may become an easy target for thieves. You can set a password for your TomTom GO which must be entered every time you start your GO. For more information, see Using TomTom HOME on page 101.

Enhanced Positioning Technology Enhanced Positioning Technology Note: Enhanced Positioning Technology is available on the TomTom GO 930 and 930T. Enhanced Positioning Technology or EPT estimates your location when GPS reception is poor, such as when you drive between tall buildings. Your GO uses positioning sensors to monitor your acceleration and direction and then estimates your current location. EPT only helps your GO to estimate your location. Calculating your precise location is only possible when your GO receives a strong GPS signal. When your GO is using EPT to estimate your location, the EPT icon is shown on the status bar. Your GO calibrates EPT automatically. If calibration is not complete when your GO loses GPS reception, EPT cannot be used and the screen is shown in grey, for example, when there is no GPS reception at the beginning of a journey. A EPT icon. B Your current position. Calibration Calibration is done automatically and requires no interaction from you. However, it is useful to have basic understanding of the calibration procedure. Your TomTom GO resets the positioning sensors each time the device is switched on. To help improve accuracy in estimating your location, your GO calibrates the sensors throughout your journey. The following conditions are required for successful calibration: · Your GO is receiving a strong GPS signal. · The car has been stationary for at least 5 seconds and then travels along a straight and level section of road for at least one minute. 7 5.

Finding alternative routes Finding alternative routes Once you have planned a route, you may want to change something about the route, without changing your destination. Why change the route? Maybe for one of these reasons: · You can see a roadblock or a line of traffic ahead. · You want to travel via a particular location, to pick someone up, stop for lunch or fill up with petrol. · You want to avoid a difficult junction or a road you don't like. Tap Find alternative... in the Main Menu to change the route that is currently planned. Find alternative... Then tap one of the options below. Tap this button to calculate an alternative to the route already planned. Calculate alternative Your GO will look for another route from your current location to your destination. If you decide you would prefer to use the original route after all, tap Recalculate original. Why would I need to do this? Apart from the roads near your position and near your destination, the new route will use totally different roads to reach your destination. This is an easy way of calculating a totally different route. Tap this button if you can see a roadblock or a line of traffic ahead. You then have to choose how much of the route ahead you want to avoid. Avoid roadblock Choose from the different options: 100m, 500m, 2000m, 5000m. Your GO will recalculate your route avoiding the section of the route for the distance you selected. Don't forget that once a new route is calculated, you may have to turn off the road you are on very soon. If the roadblock suddenly clears, tap Recalculate original to return to your original route. 14 Tap this button to change your route so that it passes a particular location, perhaps to pick someone up on the way. Travel via... You choose the location you want to pass in the same way as you choose a destination. So you can select from all the same options: for example, Address, Favourite, Point of Interest and Point on map. Your GO will calculate a new route to your destination that passes the location you chose. Using this button, you can only travel via one location. If you want to pass more than one, use an Itinerary. For more information, see Itinerary planning on page 42. Tap this button to return to the original route without deviations to avoid roadblocks or travelling via particular locations. Recalculate original Tap this button to avoid a part of the route. Use this button if you see that your route includes a road or junction you don't like, or which is wellknown for traffic problems. Avoid part of route You then choose the road you want to avoid from a list of the roads on your route. Tap this button to recalculate your route so that it avoids traffic problems as much as possible. Your GO will check if there are any traffic problems on your route and work out the best route to avoid the problems.

Select a voice from the list. Voice preferences Your TomTom GO has two different kinds of voices: · Computer voices These are generated by your GO. They provide spoken instructions while you are driving and can pronounce street names and announce messages, traffic reports, weather reports, tips and tutorials. · Human voices These are recorded by an actor. Note: Human voices only provide spoken instructions. How do computer voices work? Your TomTom GO makes use of text-to-speech technology to generate computer voices. A text-to-speech program converts written text, for example an instruction like "Turn right", into the sound of a human voice. The text-to-speech program looks at the whole sentence to make sure that the sound you hear is as close to the real thing as possible. The program is also able to recognise and quite accurately pronounce foreign place and street names. For example, the English voice can read French street names. Note: If you select a Human voice, this will only be able to announce commands, but not street names. If you would like street names to be announced, you will need to select a computer voice. Internal and external speakers Your TomTom GO contains a high quality speaker. This is used to play all the sounds on your GO unless you connect to external speakers. You can connect external speakers to your GO in the following ways: · Using an audio cable. Note: If your car stereo has a line-in connector, you can play sound from your GO through your car speakers. · Connecting a Bluetooth® Hi-Fi headset or speakers. · Tuning the FM Transmitter in your GO to use your car radio speakers. FM transmitter There is an FM Transmitter inside your GO that works like a radio station. This means you can hear the instructions made by your GO and play your mp3 songs through your car radio speakers. Setting up · In the Main Menu tap Change preferences, then tap Speaker preferences. 17 · Switch on your car radio. · Tune your car radio to a frequency that is not being used by a radio station. · Tap Change and set the frequency on your GO to use the same frequency as your car radio. If you drive into an area where a radio station transmits on the same frequency you are using for the FM Transmitter, you may have to use another frequency. Using more than one speaker You can select different speakers to be used for specific events, such as using the internal speaker for TomTom GO instructions and external speakers for hearing handsfree phone calls and listening to music. · Internal speaker · Bluetooth Hi-Fi device · Line-out (audio cable) · FM to your car radio Is it difficult to hear spoken instructions when music is playing? When you choose to use a Bluetooth® Hi-Fi device for music and spoken instructions, you are asked if you want to pause music when spoken instructions are announced. By default, music is always paused for spoken instructions. When you receive a hands-free phonecall, music is always paused and spoken instructions are not given. For information about making hands-free calls on your GO, see Hands-free calling on page 45. Using the audio cable To play sound through your car stereo or other external speaker using an audio cable, do the following: 1. Plug the audio cable into the audio out connector on your GO. 2.

Voice address input Voice address input Important: You should always plan your journey before you start driving. It is dangerous to plan a route while driving. When you plan a journey with your TomTom GO, instead of tapping the screen to type in an address, you can use voice address input to say the address. Tap this button to enter an address using only speech. Using this option, your GO can recognise the following: Spoken address (dialogue) · Commands: Yes, No, Back, Done, OK, Crossing. · Street names. · Place names. · Numbers: Numbers should be pronounced as individual numerals. For example, to say the number 35, say, "Three" and then say, "Five." Using Spoken address (dialogue), you can enter information without tapping the screen. Tap this button to enter an address using both speech and by tapping the screen. Using this option your GO can recognise the following: Spoken address · Street names. · Place names. Using Spoken address is typically faster than using Spoken address (dialogue). When this button is shown on the keyboard you can enter information by speaking instead of typing. Tap this button to enter information using voice address input. Tip: When this button is shown in grey, you cannot use speech to enter an address. Your GO recognises place and street names spoken using the local language and pronunciation. It is not possible to use voice address input to say place and street names in all countries. 21 Planning a journey using voice address input Important: You should always plan your journey before you start driving. It is dangerous to plan a route while driving. To plan a route using speech, do the following: 1. Tap Navigate to... in the Main menu. 2. Tap Address. For this example, we will navigate to an address using only speech to enter the address. 3. Tap Spoken address (dialogue). 4. Say the city name. When you say the city name, you are then shown a list of six names that match what you said. 22 Your GO tells you the name at the top of the list. If the name you hear is correct, then say, "Done" or "OK" or "Yes" or "One" or tap on the name. If the city name you hear is not correct, but the name appears in the list, then say the number next to the correct name or tap on the correct name. For example, if the correct name is Rotterdam and this name is number two in the list, you could say, "Two" or tap on the name, Rotterdam. If the city name is not shown in the list, then say "Back" or "No" or tap the Back button to return to the previous screen. Then say the city name again. Note: You need to say numbers in the same language that is used for menu buttons. 5. Say the street name. As with city name, you are then shown a list of six names that closely match what you said. Your GO tells you the name at the top of the list. If the name you hear is correct, then say, "Done" or "OK" or "Yes" or "One" or tap on the name. Note: Different locations may have similar names, such as a road that has multiple postcode locations. In such cases, all of these locations are shown in the list and you need to look at the screen and select the correct location. If the street name you hear is not correct, but the name appears in the list, then say the number next to the correct name or tap on the name. For example, if the correct name is Rembrandtplein and this name is number three in the list, you could say, "Three" or tap on the name, Rembrandtplein. For example, looking at the list shown here, if the correct name is Rembrandtplein, you could say, "Two" or tap on the name, Rembrandtplein. If the street name is not shown in the list, then say "Back" or "No" or tap the Back button to return to the previous screen. Then say the street name again. 6. Say the house number. Numbers should be pronounced normally. For example, you would say the number 357 as one continuous sentence, "Three hundred and fifty seven." If the number is shown incorrectly, say, "Back" or "No" or tap the Backspace key. Then say the number again. Tip: If you say, "Back" when there are no numbers shown on the screen, then your GO will return you to the previous screen. 23 When the number is shown correctly say, "Done" or "OK." Alternatively, enter the number by tapping the screen. To select a crossroads as the location, say, "Crossing". Note: You need to say numbers in the same language that is used for menu buttons. 7.
