Before You Start.

Switching on and off

To switch your TomTom GO on or off, press and hold the On/Off button for 2 seconds. The first time you switch on, it may take a short while for your device to start. Note: In rare cases, your GO may not start correctly. If this happens, press the reset button, then switch on the device again.

Setting up

To set up your TomTom GO you need to answer a few questions by tapping the screen. Important: Take care to select the correct language, since the language you choose will be used for all menus and written instructions.

Battery notes

We recommend that you fully charge your TomTom GO the first time that you connect it to your computer. It takes up to 2 hours to charge the battery completely. When you place your GO in the Home Dock or use the USB cable to connect to your computer, you are asked if you wish to connect to the computer. If you select No, the device will switch off if you do not tap the screen for three minutes. This happens so that the battery can recharge at a faster rate. For information on connecting to your computer, see Using TomTom HOME on page 94. Note: Your TomTom GO uses a small amount of battery power to remember the last screen being shown when the device is switched off. If you do not charge your GO for a prolonged period of time, the next time you start your GO it will show the default starting screen. All other device settings will still be maintained.

Improving reception

If your TomTom GO takes longer than 5 minutes to find your current position, make sure that the device is in an open space away from tall objects such as buildings or trees.
When you connect your TomTom GO to your computer, you can use TomTom HOME to download information about GPS satellite positions during the next 7 days. This helps your GO to find your position faster. Important: Some vehicles have heat reflective shielding in the windshield. This may prevent your GO from locating your current position. The TomTom External Antenna Kit (available for purchase as an accessory) can help to improve reception.

Windshield mount

Use the windshield mount to install your TomTom GO inside your car. To attach the mount, press the suction cup firmly to the windshield in your car, in an area of the windshield where the glass is flat. Make sure that both the holder and your windshield are clean and dry before you attach the mount. Place the mount so that it does not interfere with your view of the road.

Home Dock / USB cable

The Home Dock or USB cable is used for charging your TomTom GO when it is not in the car and for connecting your GO to your computer. When connected to your computer, you can use TomTom HOME to manage your GO. For information about TomTom HOME, see Using TomTom HOME on page 94.
Take care of your TomTom GO
Never leave your TomTom GO or accessories in view when you leave the car or they may become an easy target for thieves. You can set a password for your TomTom GO which must be entered every time you start your GO. For more information, see Using TomTom HOME on page 94. It is important to take care of your GO.
