2. Important Safety Notices and Warnings
2.1 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, who are responsible for its availability and accuracy. Any changes in GPS availability and accuracy may impact the operation of your GPS receiver. Environmental conditions will affect the operation of your GPS receiver. Palmtop B.V. cannot accept any liability for the availability and accuracy of GPS.

Use With Care

Use of a GPS receiver for navigation does not by any means substitute for the 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. The TomTom Wireless GPS receiver must not be used in these environments.
2.4 Heat Reflective Shields
Newer model vehicles may have a heat reflective shield embedded in the windshield preventing proper GPS signal reception if the receiver is placed behind the windshield. To enable proper reception: (a) Use an external antenna, or (b) Place the receiver in a different position, or (c) Place the receiver behind the rearview mirror, where many vehicles have an opening in the heat reflective shield, indicated by a black outline

2.5 Magnets

The TomTom Wireless GPS receiver contains strong magnets. Do not place the receiver near any item that may be damaged by magnetic force, such as credit and debit cards.

2.6 Battery

This product uses a Lithium-Ion battery. Please charge the battery fully before first use. Refer to operational temperature ranges in the specification appendix. Operation in low (below 0C/32F) or high (over 45C/110F) temperatures will affect power supply efficiency and the ability to charge the battery. All Lithium-Ion batteries will experience power supply efficiency deterioration over time, even if not used, and have a limited life expectancy. Permanently powering the battery will reduce life expectancy. Do not continue recharging the battery if it does not recharge within the specified time. Do not pierce, open or disassemble the battery. Do not swallow the battery. If the battery leaks and you come into contact with the leaked fluids, rinse thoroughly with water and seek medical attention immediately. Do not use your product in a humid, wet and/or corrosive environment. Do not put, store or leave your product in or near a heat source; in a high temperature location; in strong direct sunlight; in a microwave oven; in a pressurized container, and do not expose it to temperatures over 60C (140F). Failure to follow these guidelines may cause the Lithium-Ion battery to leak acid; become hot; explode; or ignite and cause injury and/or damage. THE LITHIUM-ION BATTERY CONTAINED IN THE PRODUCT MUST BE RECYCLED OR DISPOSED OF PROPERLY. USE ONLY WITH SUPPLIED CHARGER(s) AND SUPPLIED AC ADAPTOR FOR BATTERY CHARGING.
2.7 Installation, Use & Maintenance
Do not attempt to service this product yourself. Do not open, puncture or disassemble the product. For permanent installation and powering in a vehicle, we recommend hiring a professional service technician.

For mobile installation, ensure that the GPS receiver has an unobstructed view of the sky, or that it is connected to an optional external antenna Protect your product from excessive heat (see previous paragraph), extreme cold (see previous paragraph), dust, liquids and direct sunlight. Do not use in a humid environment. Do not use the product on an unstable surface. When using the product in a mobile environment always fasten the product to prevent accidental movement of it. Handle all parts, cables and connectors with care. Only use supplied and suggested accessories and power supplies. Ensure that any power supply and/or AC adapter is cooled by placing it in a ventilated area. The power supply and/or AC adapter, the cradle, and the receiver unit may become warm or hot during operation. Unplug the product from any external power source before cleaning. Only clean the product with a dry cloth. Only use the supplied PDA Power Cable with PDAs that conform to the specifications of the cable. Follow the instructions in this manual carefully.

The AC adapter comes with multiple plugs for use in North America, Great Britain and Europe. Unplug the adapter before changing the plugs. Slide the appropriate plug onto the AC adapter and use the supplied plastic screw and screw driver to fasten the plug. The AC adapter can be used to charge the receiver by plugging the 5V plug into the 5V jack on the rear side of the receiver. Alternatively, insert the 5V plug into the 5V jack on the side of the cradle and insert the receiver into the cradle. Note: when inserting the receiver into a powered cradle, the receiver will switch on (to synchronize with vehicle ignition). Never use the AC adapter simultaneously with the cigarette lighter adapter or the permanent power cable.
3.3.2 Cigarette Lighter Adapter
For in-vehicle charging, insert the 5V plug of the cigarette lighter adapter into the 5V jack on the rear side of the receiver. Alternatively, insert the 5V plug into the 5V jack on the side of the cradle and insert the receiver into the cradle. Note: when inserting the receiver into a powered cradle, the receiver will switch on (to synchronize with vehicle
ignition). You can simultaneously power your PDA by using the supplied PDA Power Cable. Never use the cigarette lighter adapter simultaneously with the AC adapter or the permanent power cable.
3.3.3 Permanent power cable
A permanent power cable to directly connect the cradle to the vehicle power system is supplied. We recommend hiring a professional service technician for installation into your car. The permanent power cable is designed for 12V-24V. Never use the permanent power cable simultaneously with the AC adapter or the cigarette lighter adapter.

3.3.3 Charging

While charging the 'Charge and GPS' indicator on the front of the receiver will turn red or orange. When charging is completed, the red or orange indicator switches off.
3.3.4 Switching on and off
To switch the GPS receiver on, press the power button briefly. The 'Charge and GPS' indicator will blink once. After that, the Bluetooth indicator will start flashing. To switch the receiver off, press the power button for 3 seconds. The 'Charge and GPS' indicator will blink once. If the GPS receiver needs charging, the 'Charge and GPS' indicator will remain on. The Bluetooth indicator will switch off.

3.3.5 Setting up a connection with your PDA/Smartphone/Laptop
Please refer to the Bluetooth connection setup instructions in the documentation that comes with your PDA, Smartphone or laptop. You will need to set up a Serial Port connection between the GPS receiver and your device. The GPS receiver will appear to your device as the TomTom Wireless GPS and its GPS signal will be output on its GPS serial output. To ensure ease of use, create a Bluetooth bond between your device and the GPS receiver. The pairing code is 0000. Please check specific device setup information on our support pages at http://www.tomtom.com.
3.3.6 Configuring your software
After setting up the Bluetooth connection, you will need to modify the properties of the software on your PDA, Smartphone or laptop to use the GPS signal from the GPS
receiver. Please refer to the documentation of your device, and of your software. Choose the NMEA protocol.

4. Indicators

4.1 Bluetooth Indicator
The left indicator shows that your GPS receiver is switched on. Whenever this indicator is lit continuously or flashes, your GPS receiver is on. The indicator flashes when it is ready for connection with your PDA, Smartphone or laptop. If there is an active connection between the GPS and a device, the indicator will be lit continuously. When the battery level is low, the indicator will turn red, meaning the GPS receiver needs to be charged to guarantee continued operation.
4.2 GPS and Charge Indicator
The right indicator flashes continuously whenever the GPS receiver is determining your position (getting a fix). When the internal battery is charging the color of the indicator will turn red or orange.
