GPS reception

When you first start your TomTom Start navigation 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 interfere with reception.

Changeable covers

You can personalise your TomTom Start by changing the covers. Go to tom-

tom.com/startskins to check which covers are available.

Troubleshooting

In rare cases, your TomTom Start 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, con-

nect your device to the car charger.

If this does not solve the problem, you can reset the device. To do this, do the

following.

1. Remove the Mount from the device by pressing the release button on the

Mount.

2. Pull the back cover off the device by holding either side of the cover and

pushing the device through the centre of the cover.

3. Use a straightened paper clip, or something similar, to push the reset but-

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