Global Positioning System
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite-based system that
provides location and timing information around the globe. GPS is
operated and controlled under the sole responsibility of the Government
of the United States of America which is responsible for its availability and
accuracy. Any changes in GPS availability and accuracy, or in
environmental conditions, may impact the operation of your
TomTom RIDER. TomTom does not accept any liability for the availability
and accuracy of GPS.
Use with Care
Use of TomTom RIDER for navigation still means that you need to drive
with due care and attention.
Aircraft and Hospitals
Use of devices with an antenna is prohibited on most aircraft, in many
hospitals and in many other locations. TomTom RIDER must not be used
in these environments.
Battery
This product uses a Lithium-Ion battery. Do not use it in a humid, wet and/
or corrosive environment. Do not put, store or leave your product in or
near a heat source, in a high temperature location, in strong direct sunlight,
in a microwave oven or in a pressurized container, and do not expose it to
temperatures over 60 C (140 F). Failure to follow these guidelines may
cause the Lithium-Ion battery to leak acid, become hot, explode or ignite
and cause injury and/or damage. Do not pierce, open or disassemble the
battery. If the battery leaks and you come into contact with the leaked
fluids, rinse thoroughly with water and seek medical attention
immediately. For safety reasons, and to prolong the lifetime of the battery,
charging will not occur at low (below 0 C/32 F) or high (over 45 C/113 F)
temperatures.
Temperatures: Standard operation: -10 C (14 F) to +55 C (131 F); short
period storage: -20 C (-4 F) to + 60 C (140 F); long period storage: -20 C (-
4 F) to +25 C (77 F).

Mounting TomTom RIDER
Extreme care must be taken when mounting TomTom RIDER on a
motorcycle. Read the description in the Quick Start Guide carefully before
mounting TomTom RIDER on your motorcycle. TomTom RIDER shall be
mounted in compliance with the relevant legislation and the vehicle
manufacturer's rules. Failure to mount TomTom RIDER correctly could
result in damage to your vehicle and serious injury to the vehicle rider and
other road users. TomTom RIDER is mounted on your motorcycle at your
own risk.
Battery cable
The power cable shall be routed to avoid sharp bends, abrasion,
overheating, exhaust gases and battery acids and other potential hazards.
It must not be strained nor distorted by e.g. excessive tightening of cable
ties. Ensure that all connections are mechanically and electrically safe and
secure. Keep away from heat sources and vehicle controls. It must not
hinder the operation of safety equipment nor interfere with the driver's
ability to control the vehicle.
SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING DRIVING IN CALIFORNIA
California Vehicle Code Section 26708 (a) (1) provides that "No persons

installed, affixed, or applied upon the windshield or side or rear windows."
Drivers in California should not use a suction mount on their windshield,
side or rear windows. TomTom Inc. bears no responsibility for any fines,
penalties or damage that may be incurred by disregarding this notice.
