Safety And Regulatory Information - TomTom GO Quick Start Manual

Important Safety Notices and Warnings
1. Global Positioning System
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satel-
lite-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, who
are responsible for its availability and accuracy.
Any changes in GPS availability and accuracy, or in
environmental conditions, may impact the operation
of your TomTom GO. TomTom B.V. cannot accept any
liability for the availability and accuracy of GPS.
2. Use with Care
Use of TomTom GO for navigation still means that
you need to drive with due care and attention.
3. Aircraft and Hospitals
Use of devices with an antenna is prohibited on
most aircraft, in many hospitals and in many other
locations. TomTom GO must not be used in these
environments.
