Installing in your car
Use the supplied mount to install your TomTom GO BASIC in your vehicle. Read the instructions
about positioning your device
before you install your TomTom GO.
To install your TomTom GO, do the following:
1. Connect the supplied USB cable to the mount. If the mount is integrated into your TomTom GO,
connect the USB cable to the device.
Note: Use ONLY the USB cable supplied with your TomTom GO. Other USB cables may not
work.
2. Connect the USB cable to the USB car charger and plug this into the power supply on your
dashboard.
3. Choose the best smooth location, on your windscreen or side window, to mount your TomTom
GO BASIC.
Tip: If the mount is integrated into your TomTom GO, you can easily change the rotation of
your device. Release the mount from the TomTom GO using the thumb indent. Turn the mount
around and clip it back onto the device until you hear it click.
4. Make sure that both the suction cup on the mount and your windscreen are clean and dry.
5. Press the suction cup of the mount firmly against your windscreen.
6. Turn the rubber grip near the base of the mount in a clockwise direction until you feel it lock.
7. If your mount is not integrated into your TomTom GO, place your TomTom GO in the mount,
making sure that it clicks into place.
Dashboard adhesive disks are available as part of a range of accessories for your TomTom GO. For
more information, go to tomtom.com/accessories
.
Positioning the device
Be careful where you install your TomTom GO. The TomTom GO shouldn't block or interfere with
any of the following:
Your view of the road.
The controls in your vehicle.
Your rear-view mirrors.
The airbags.
You should be able to reach your TomTom GO easily without leaning or stretching. In a car, you can
attach your TomTom GO to the windscreen or side window or you can use a Dashboard Mount Disk to
attach the mount to your dashboard.
Switching on and off
Switching your device on
Press the On/Off button until your device starts. If the device was off you see the map view. If your
device was sleeping you see the last screen you were looking at.
