Positioning the device
Be careful where you install your Rider. The Rider shouldn't block or interfere with any of the following:
Your view of the road.
The controls in your vehicle.
Your rearview mirrors.
The airbags.
You should be able to reach your Rider easily without leaning or stretching. In a car, you can attach
your Rider to the windshield or side window or you can use a Dashboard Mount Disk to attach the
mount to your dashboard.
Turning on and off
Turning 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.
Putting your device to sleep
To put your navigation device to sleep, press the On/Off button and then release it.
You can also press the On/Off button for more than 2 seconds until you see the Sleep and Turn Off
buttons. Select Sleep to make the device sleep.
Tip: To send your navigation device to sleep when the USB cable is unplugged or whenever it is
removed from the mount, go to Battery settings in the Settings menu.
Turning your device off completely
To turn off your navigation device completely, you can do one of the following:
Press and hold the On/Off button for more than 2 seconds until you see the Sleep and Turn Off
buttons. Select Turn Off to turn off the device. Select the "back" button if you don't want to turn
your device off.
Press and hold the On/Off button for more than 5 seconds until the device turns off.
Setting up
Note: The language you choose will be used for all text on the screen. You can always change the
language later in Language and Units in the Settings menu.
When you first switch on your TomTom Rider, you have to answer a few questions to set it up. Answer
the questions by touching the screen.
GPS reception
When you first start your TomTom Rider, it may need a few minutes to determine your position. In the
future, your position will be found much faster.
