Before you start... Everyone loves TomTom GO So never leave your GO in your car when you're not using it - it's an easy target for thieves. Always take your GO, the windscreen mount, and the car charger with you; don't leave any TomTom products on display. Always store your GO in the carry case to protect the screen. Backup your TomTom GO It's always a good idea to make a backup of the contents of your TomTom GO. You can make a backup using TomTom HOME. For more information about TomTom HOME, see Using TomTom HOME on page 65. Look after your TomTom GO It is important to take care of your GO and to clean it correctly. · Use a soft cloth to wipe the screen of your GO; do not use any liquid cleaners. · If your GO gets wet, dry it with a soft cloth. · Do not open the casing of your GO under any circumstances. Doing so may be dangerous and will invalidate your warranty. · Do not use the memory card (SD card) with any device other than a TomTom device. Other devices may damage the memory card. · Do not expose your GO 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. · · ·5 · · · 6 · · · · · · Chapter 3 Getting started Getting started Switching on Follow the instructions on the Installation Poster to dock your TomTom GO in your car. The first time you switch on your TomTom GO, it may take up to 20 seconds to start. To switch off your TomTom GO, press and hold the On/Off button for 2 seconds. Setting up You have to answer a few questions to set up your TomTom GO. Answer the questions by tapping the screen. You will use the touchscreen for everything you do with your GO. You can change these settings at any time using the the Preferences menu. For information about the Preferences menu, see Preferences on page 51. Once you have answered the questions, your GO will display the Driving View. The Driving View is shown in black and white until your GO locates your current position. For more information about the Driving View, see Driving View on page 17. Locating your current position Your TomTom GO must be outside to locate your current position. The first time you start your GO, it can take up to 5 minutes to find your current position. If it takes longer than 5 minutes, make sure that you are in an open place without tall buildings or trees around you. In the future, your position will be found much faster, normally within a few seconds. Once your GO has located your current position, the Driving View is shown in full colour and shows your position on the map. · · ·7 · · · Finding your position faster To find your position faster, use the home dock in combination with TomTom HOME on your computer. When connected to the Internet, TomTom HOME automatically downloads information which helps your GO locate your position faster. For more information about GPS, see How does navigation work? on page 67. Note: Your TomTom GO does not transmit your position. You can however send your position to TomTom Buddies. For more information, visit www.tomtom.com/plus Note: Some vehicles have a heat reflective shield embedded in the windscreen, which may prevent TomTom GO from locating your current position. If this is a problem in your vehicle, use the TomTom External Antenna Kit (available as an accessory). 8 · · · · · · Chapter 4 Docking your TomTom GO Docking your TomTom GO Windscreen dock Use the windscreen dock to position your TomTom GO in your car.
