Note: If you choose not to send location information to us, you will no longer receive our
services. This is because services need to send the location of your device to TomTom in order to
receive the traffic information related to where you are. The end date of your subscription
remains the same, even if you do not send this information to us.

Memory card slot
Some TomTom navigation devices have a memory card slot that is located on the side or bottom of
the device.
Before you use the memory card slot, make sure that you have the latest version of the application
installed on your navigation device by connecting to MyDrive using a computer.
When your Rider is up-to-date, you can use a memory card as extra storage space to add extra maps
to your device. Maps can be purchased from tomtom.com.
Device not starting
In rare cases, your TomTom Rider may not start correctly or may stop responding to your taps.
First, check that the battery is charged. To charge the battery, connect your Rider to the car
charger. It can take up to 3 hours to fully charge the battery.
If this does not solve the problem, you can perform a reset. To do this, press and hold the On/Off
button until your Rider begins to restart.
Charging your device
The battery in your TomTom Rider charges when you connect it to the car charger, to your
computer or to a USB Home Charger.
You are warned when the battery level is low or critical. You lose your connection to some TomTom
services when the battery level is low or critical. When the battery is empty, your Rider goes into
sleep mode.
Note: Use ONLY the USB cable supplied with your Rider. Other USB cables may not work.
Caring for your Rider
It is important to take care of your device:
Do not open the casing of your device under any circumstances. Doing so may be dangerous and
will invalidate the warranty.
Wipe or dry the screen of your device using a soft cloth. Do not use any liquid cleaners.
