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 COMFORT 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 COMFORT 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 COMFORT
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 COMFORT begins to restart.
Charging your device
The battery in your TomTom GO COMFORT 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
COMFORT 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.
Note: Use ONLY the USB cable supplied with your TomTom GO COMFORT when charging your
device. Other USB cables may not work.
Caring for your TomTom GO COMFORT
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 void the warranty.
Wipe or dry the screen of your device using a soft cloth. Do not use any liquid cleaners.
