GPS reception

When you first start your TomTom START navigation device, the device may need a few minu-

tes to determine your GPS position and show your current position on the map. In the

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 interfere with reception.

Troubleshooting

In rare cases, your TomTom START navigation device may not start correctly or may stop res-

ponding 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. First turn your device off and

wait for at least 10 seconds. Then use a straightened paper clip, or something similar, to

push the reset button. The reset button is on the bottom of your device.
