Getting started

Getting started
Switching on
Follow the instructions at the start of this manual to dock your TomTom in
your car stereo. Your TomTom can also be used without docking it in your car
stereo. A mount is available as an accessory so that you can use your
TomTom in other cars.
The first time you switch on your TomTom, it may take up to 20 seconds to
start. To switch off your TomTom, press and hold the On/Off button for 2
seconds.
Setting up
You have to answer a few questions to set up your TomTom. Answer the
questions by tapping the screen. You will use the touchscreen for everything
you do with your TomTom.
You can change these settings at any time using the Preferences menu. For
information about the Preferences menu, see Preferences on page 38.
Once you have answered the questions, your TomTom will display the Driving
View. The Driving View is shown in black and white until your TomTom
locates your current position.
For more information about the Driving View, see Driving View on page 14.

Locating your current position

Your TomTom must be outdoors to locate your current position. The first time
you start your TomTom, it can take up to 5 minutes to find your current
position. If it takes longer than 5 minutes, make sure that you are in an open
place without tall buildings or trees around you.
In the future, your position will be found much faster, normally within a few
seconds.
Once your TomTom has located your current position, the Driving View is
shown in full colour and shows your position on the map.

Night view

When you switch on the headlights in your car, your TomTom will switch to
night view. In night view, the brightness of the screen on your TomTom is
dimmed so it's easier to see when it's dark outside.
Night view on your TomTom is linked to the dimmer setting on your car
stereo. See the manual for your car stereo for information about the dimmer
setting.
