TomTom GO User Manual

5
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.
Windshield Holder
Use the windshield holder to install your TomTom GO inside your car.
To attach the holder, press the suction cup firmly to the windshield in your car,
in an area of the windshield where the glass is flat.
Make sure that both the holder and your windshield 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 94.
Take care of your TomTom GO
Never leave your TomTom GO or accessories in 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 94.
It is important to take care of your GO.
• Your GO is not designed for use in extreme temperatures and any such
exposure may cause permanent damage.
• Do not open the casing of your GO under any circumstances. Doing so may
be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
• Wipe or dry the screen of your GO using a soft cloth. Do not use any liquid
cleaners.
