Yo
ur navigation device is able to provide spoken instructions and
warnings using voices which are stored on the device. Some voices
have been recorded by actors and other voices are computer-gene-
rated.
The recorded voices are only used for spoken instructions while the
computer voices are used for both spoken instructions and for rea-
ding aloud information stored on your map, such as street names.
To select a different voice on your device, tap Change voice in the
Options menu or in the Voices and images menu. Then select a voice
from the list. Computer voices are clearly marked.
You can add and remove voices using TomTom HOME.
Note:
If you select a recorded voice, this will only be able to
announce commands, but not street names. If you would like street
names
to be announced, you will need to select a computer voice.

p this button to select the time format and to set the time.
The easiest way to set the time is by tapping the Sync button. Your START
will then take the time from GPS information.

e:
You can only use Sync if you have GPS reception, so you cannot
set the clock in this way when you are indoors.
After using Sync to set the time, you may have to adjust the hours
depending on your time zone. Your
START works out your time zone and
always
keeps the time correct using GPS information.
