Operation Manual

Personal Area Networks

Your phone shares its internet connection by using the phone's Bluetooth and Personal Area Network

(PAN) functions.

Depending on your phone's Operating System, this network, or PAN, might be called one of the

following names:

 Personal Hotspot

 Tethering or Bluetooth Tethering

 Tether or Bluetooth Tether

The PAN function is probably already in your phone's Operating System, or you can download an app

to create a PAN.

Note: Some mobile service providers don't allow their users to use a PAN. If your phone doesn't

have the PAN function, you should contact your service provider for more information.

Please check the user guide for your phone if you are having trouble finding the settings.

Reconnecting your smartphone

You do not need to do anything to reconnect your GO to your phone.

Your GO will remember your phone and will find it automatically when you have Personal Area

Network (PAN) and Bluetooth switched on and you are in range of your navigation device. If you

have a valid TomTom services subscription, the service will start automatically.

The Bluetooth icon at the top of the main menu screen shows the status of the Bluetooth
