Getting started

Getting

started Switching on and off

Install your TomTom GO navigation device

in your car following the instructions in the

installation section at the start of this book.

To switch on your navigation device, 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 time to start.

Setting up

When you first switch on your device, you

have to answer a few questions to set up the

device. Answer the questions by tapping

the screen.

You are asked whether you make regular

trips to the same locations. If you tap YES,

you can enter these destinations as your

favourite destinations. Every time you

switch on your device, you can immediately

select one of these locations as your desti-

nation.

To change these destinations or select a

new destination, tap Start-up preferences in

the Preferences menu, then select Ask for a

destination.

Device not starting

In rare cases, your TomTom GO navigation

device 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 car charger. 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 15 seconds and

release the button when your device begins

to restart.

Battery notes

The battery in your TomTom GO navigation

device charges when you connect it to the

car charger or to your computer.

When you connect your device to a compu-

ter, you are asked if you want to connect to

the computer. If you select No and then do

not tap the screen within three minutes, the

device will automatically switch off. This

happens so that the battery can charge

faster.

Note: You should plug the USB connector di-

rectly into a USB port on your computer and

not into a USB hub or USB port on a keyboard

or monitor.

GPS reception

When you first start your TomTom GO nav-

igation device, the device may need a few

minutes to determine your GPS position

and show your current position on the map.

In future, your position will be found much

faster, usually within a few seconds.

To ensure good GPS reception, you should

use your device outdoors. Large objects

such as tall buildings can sometimes inter-

fere with reception.

The TomTom GO 950 includes Enhanced

Positioning Technology or EPT. EPT auto-

matically estimates your position when the

GPS signal is lost while you are driving,

such as when you are in a tunnel. When EPT

is in use, the EPT symbol is shown in the

Driving View.

Safety

Safety Positioning the dock

Consider carefully where to attach the dock

in your car. The dock should not block or

interfere with any of the following:

• Your view of the road

• Any of the controls in your car

• Any of your mirrors

• The airbag

When your navigation device is in the dock,

you should be able to reach the device eas-

ily without leaning or stretching. The dia-

grams show where you can safely attach the

dock.

You can attach the dock to the windscreen,

side window or use a Dashboard Mount

Disk to attach the dock to your dashboard.

TomTom also offers alternative mounting

solutions for your TomTom navigation

device. For more information about Dash-

board Mount Disks and alternative mount-

ing solutions, go to tomtom.com/

accessories.

Installing the Active Dock

Make sure that both the Active Dock and

your window are clean and dry.

1. Press the suction cup firmly against the

window on an area where the glass is

flat.

2. Twist the rubber grip near the base of the

Active Dock in a clockwise direction until

you hear a click.

The Active Dock is now installed.
