Connecting to your phone
Using GO 700 or GO 500
If you have a Bluetooth-capable mobile phone
then you can use your TomTom GO 700 or GO
500 as a hands-free car kit. Although some
functions are dependent on your phone’s capabi-
lities, you should usually be able to:
• Accept incoming calls on the TomTom GO
screen with a single tap of the screen.
• See that a new SMS message has arrived and
read its contents, again with a single tap.
• Dial out, using contact details retrieved from
your phone’s SIM card.
• Get your call history, contact phone numbers
and SMS messages from your phone.
Visit www.tomtom.com/phones for a list of compatible
Bluetooth-enabled phones.
This is the very first time you have used
TomTom GO with your phone and there are a
few steps needed to ‘pair’ the two devices, i.e.
make a connection.
1. Choose ‘Mobile phone’
to get started.
2. Select ‘Connect to your phone’
and
TomTom GO will search for your mobile phone.
3. Pick your phone from the list displayed.
Here’s the main mobile phone ‘hands-free’ menu.
The connection to your phone is also used when
communicating with our Internet-based TomTom
PLUS service using GPRS (see the manual on CD
for more details).
