Important Safety Notices and Warnings
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 device. TomTom does not accept
any liability for the availability and accuracy of GPS.
Use with Care
Use of a TomTom device 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. A TomTom device must not be used in
these environments.

use it in a humid, wet and/or corrosive environment.

these guidelines may cause the Lithium-Polymer
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
