Before You Start...

Switching on and off

To switch your TomTom GO on or off, press and hold the On/Off button for 2
seconds. The first time you switch on, it may take a short while for your device
to start.
Note: In rare cases, your GO may not start correctly. If this happens, press the
reset button, then switch on the device again.
Setting up
To set up your TomTom GO you need to answer a few questions by tapping
the screen.
Important: Take care to select the correct language, since the language you
choose will be used for all menus and written instructions.

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 your computer, see Using TomTom HOME on
page 94.
Note: Your TomTom 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.

Improving reception

If your TomTom GO takes longer than 5 minutes to find your current position,
make sure that the device is in an open space away from tall objects such as
buildings or trees.
