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 your navigation device has the latest software
version installed by selecting Updates & New Items in the Settings menu.
When your TomTom GO BASIC is up to date, you can use a memory card as extra storage space to
store downloaded maps or to store routes and tracks on your device.
Important: Routes and tracks cannot be stored on the same memory card as maps because different
memory card formatting is used.
Device not starting
In rare cases, your TomTom GO BASIC device may not start correctly or may stop responding to your
taps.
First, check that the battery is charged. To charge the battery, connect your TomTom GO device to
the car charger. It can take 3 - 5 hours to fully charge the battery depending on the type of device.
Important: Do not charge your device using your vehicle's own USB port because it is not powerful
enough.
If this does not solve the problem, you can perform a reset. To do this, press and hold the On/Off
button until your TomTom GO begins to restart.
Charging your device
The battery in your TomTom GO BASIC charges when you connect it to your TomTom vehicle
charger, to your computer or to a USB Home Charger.
Important: Do not charge your device using your vehicle's own USB port because it is not powerful
enough.
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 TomTom GO goes
into sleep mode.
Important: On device models TomTom START 42/52, TomTom START 40/50/60, and TomTom GO
51/61, the screen intentionally dims when you connect your device to your computer. The screen
also dims if you use a non-TomTom charger that does not provide enough power when charging.
Caring for your TomTom GO BASIC
It is important to take care of your device:
Note: Use ONLY the USB cable supplied with your TomTom GO when charging your device. Other
USB cables may not work.
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.
