Switching on for the first time
Using the remote control
The remote control is included with the GO 700
model and is also available as an accessory for
GO 700 and GO 500 models.
You can use the TomTom remote control instead
of the main touchscreen in circumstances where
you’d rather not reach over and tap the screen
directly. The remote control uses radio waves so
you don’t need to point it at your TomTom GO.
Use the arrow buttons to select something on
the screen and the central ‘OK’ button to activate
the selected command button or icon.
You can change the loudness of the GO speaker
by using the volume buttons. The two keys near
the bottom of the remote control can be used
to mimic the buttons appearing at the bottom
left and right of the TomTom GO screen. Finally,
you can use the keyboard button to make an on-
screen keyboard appear or disappear, if appro-
priate, allowing you to search for something by
name.
