6
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
to
a
computer,
refer to the installation poster.
Note:
Your Tom Tom 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.
