Switching on and off

Install your TomTom GO in your car following the instructions on the installation poster at the start of the User Guide.

To switch on your TomTom GO, press and hold the On/Off button until you see the start-up screen. The first time you switch on your device, it may take a short while to start.

You have to answer a few questions to set up your device.

Important: Take care to select the correct language, since the language you choose will be used for all menus and written instructions.

Having problems?

In rare cases, your TomTom GO may not start correctly or may stop responding to your taps.

First, check that the battery is properly charged. To charge the battery, connect your device to the TomTom Home charger, the TomTom Car charger or to your computer. It can take up to 2 hours to fully charge the battery.

If this does not solve the problem, you can reset the device. To do this, press and hold the On/Off button for fifteen seconds and release the button when your GO begins to restart.

Battery notes

The battery in your TomTom GO charges when you connect it to the car charger or to your computer.

The light next to the On/Off button is orange while the battery is charging and is green when the battery is fully charged.

When you connect your GO to a computer using the home dock, you are asked if you want to connect to the computer. If you select No and do not tap the screen within three minutes, the device will automatically switch off. This happens so that the battery can charge faster.

Important: You should plug the USB connector directly into a USB port on your computer and not into a USB hub or USB port on a keyboard or monitor.

Active Dock

Use the Active Dock to install your TomTom GO inside your car.

Make sure that both the Active Dock and your windscreen are clean and dry before you attach the holder. Place the Active Dock so that it does not interfere with your view of the road or of any of the controls in your car.

To attach the Active Dock, press the suction cup firmly against the windscreen on an area where the glass is flat. Then twist the rubber grip near the base of the Active Dock in a clockwise direction until you hear a click.

Home dock

The Home dock is used for charging your TomTom GO when it is not in the car and for connecting your GO to your computer.

When connected to your computer, you can use TomTom HOME to manage your GO.

GPS reception

When you first start your TomTom GO, the device may need a few minutes to determine your GPS position and show your current location on the map. In future, your position will be found much faster, usually within a few seconds.

To ensure reception of a strong GPS signal, your GO should be used outdoors. Large objects such as tall buildings can sometimes interfere with reception.
