Assembly - TomTom GO Quick Start Manual

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 vehi-
cle's 12V (cigarette lighter) socket.
3. Ease TomTom GO onto its cradle by loca-
ting its front edge first and then pushing
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 windshield (or
side window), to remove any dust and
grease. Place the cradle in a suitable
location on your windshield 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 windshield. 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 travelling conditions, the
suction mount is 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 wind-
shield, 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. Also, TomTom GO con-
tains a rechargeable battery which can be used for up
to 4 hours without charging. For short trips it may be
possible to do without the DC power lead for simpler
and neater operation.
To adjust the angle of TomTom GO, loosen
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 tipping 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
