Switching on and off

Install your TomTom GO navigation device in your car following the instructions in the installation section at the start of this book.

To switch on your navigation device, press and hold the On/Off button until you see the start-up screen. The first time you switch on your device, it may take a short time to start.

Setting up

When you first switch on your device, you have to answer a few questions to set up the device. Answer the questions by tapping the screen.

You are asked whether you make regular trips to the same locations. If you tap YES, you can enter these destinations as your favourite destinations. Every time you switch on your device, you can immediately select one of these locations as your destination.

To change these destinations or select a new destination, tap Start-up preferences in the Preferences menu, then select Ask for a destination.

Device not starting

In rare cases, your TomTom GO navigation device may not start correctly or may stop responding to your taps.

First, check that the battery is properly charged. To charge the battery, connect your device to the car charger. It can take up to 2 hours to fully charge the battery.

If this does not solve the problem, you can reset the device. To do this, press and hold the On/Off button for 15 seconds and release the button when your device begins to restart.

Getting started

Battery notes

The battery in your TomTom GO navigation device charges when you connect it to the car charger or to your computer.

When you connect your device to a computer, you are asked if you want to connect to the computer. If you select No and then do not tap the screen within three minutes, the device will automatically switch off. This happens so that the battery can charge faster.

Note: You should plug the USB connector directly into a USB port on your computer and not into a USB hub or USB port on a keyboard or monitor.

GPS reception

When you first start your TomTom GO navigation device, the device may need a few minutes to determine your GPS position and show your current position on the map. In future, your position will be found much faster, usually within a few seconds.

To ensure good GPS reception, you should use your device outdoors. Large objects such as tall buildings can sometimes interfere with reception.

The TomTom GO 950 includes Enhanced Positioning Technology or EPT. EPT automatically estimates your position when the GPS signal is lost while you are driving, such as when you are in a tunnel. When EPT is in use, the EPT symbol is shown in the Driving View.

Positioning the dock

Consider carefully where to attach the dock in your car. The dock should not block or interfere with any of the following:

• Your view of the road
  Any of the controls in your car
  Any of your mirrors
  The airbag

When your navigation device is in the dock, you should be able to reach the device easily without leaning or stretching. The diagrams show where you can safely attach the dock.

You can attach the dock to the windscreen, side window or use a Dashboard Mount Disk to attach the dock to your dashboard. TomTom also offers alternative mounting solutions for your TomTom navigation device. For more information about Dash

board Mount Disks and alternative mounting solutions, go to tomtom.com/ accessories.

Installing the Active Dock

Make sure that both the Active Dock and your window are clean and dry.

1. Press the suction cup firmly against the window on an area where the glass is flat.
2. Twist the rubber grip near the base of the Active Dock in a clockwise direction until you hear a click.

The Active Dock is now installed.
