Installation
Assembly
1. Assemble the suction-mount cradle as shown
in the installation poster.
2. Plug the small plug end of the DC power lead
into the socket on the back of the
cradle. Plug the other end into your vehicle's
12V (cigarette lighter) socket.
3. Ease TomTom GO onto its cradle by locating
its front edge first and then rotating back firmly
until you hear a click. You'll feel TomTom GO
lock into place. The green LED on TomTom
GO's front panel will light up if the cradle is
also connected to your vehicle's 12V socket.
4. Clean the inside of your windscreen (or side
window), to remove any dust and grease.
Place the cradle in a suitable location on your
windscreen and push the black plastic lever
to the right, fixing the cradle in position.
NOTE: Some newer vehicles may have a heat reflec-
tive shield embedded in the windscreen. In some
cases this can prevent proper GPS signal reception.
If this turns out to be a problem in your vehicle,
you will need to purchase and install the TomTom
External Antenna Kit (available as an accessory).
Tip:You don't have to use the cradle if you don't want
to. If necessary, TomTom GO can be positioned on its
own anywhere that's convenient, provided that it's safely
secured.
Under normal journey conditions, the suction
mount is perfectly sufficient to hold the cradle
in position. Note that suction may be lost if
left overnight, due to condensation and low
temperature. For this reason, and for security,
we recommend removing both the suction
mount cradle and TomTom GO when leaving
your vehicle overnight. To remove the cradle,
pull the suction mount lever to the left. If the
cradle still doesn't detach from your winds-
creen, tug gently on the clear plastic tab at
the edge of the suction mount, to break the
vacuum seal.
Tip: To activate your 12V socket, you may need to set
your ignition key in an 'Accessories' position. Please
consult your vehicle handbook. In addition, TomTom GO
contains a rechargeable battery and can be used for up
to 4 hours without charging, so for short journeys it may
be possible to do without the DC power lead for simpler
and tidier operation.
To adjust the angle of TomTom GO, slacken
the adjustable knobs on the cradle and then
turn it gently. In addition to tilting the cradle
up and down and from side to side, you can
also rotate TomTom GO in the cradle, from
left to right, ±45°. When you're happy, tighten
up the knobs again.
Tip: After using TomTom GO, remove it from the cradle
by pressing the release button while rotating the unit
forward gently. Put it in the supplied bag. If you want
to clean it, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use water or
a solvent. If you'd rather pick a crossing than a house
number, just select the 'Crossing' button.

Switching on for the first time

Starting up

1. Refer to your installation poster for setup
instructions.
2. Follow the on-screen instructions, using your
finger on the touchscreen to select your prefe-
rences.
Using TomTom GO
TomTom GO starts by displaying the navigation
view. The screen will appear in black and white
until your TomTom GO locates your current
position. Once this is done, the navigation view
is shown in full colour. In future, your position
will be found much faster, normally within a few
seconds. Everything on TomTom GO can be
accomplished easily using just your finger on the
touchscreen. Importantly, you can bring up the
main options menu by tapping your
finger somewhere in the middle of the screen.
As with many of the menus in TomTom GO,
there are more options than can be shown on
one screen. Try tapping on a few times, to cycle
through all the different things you can do.
Note: Your TomTom GO does not transmit your location,
so others cannot use it to track you while driving.
