Switching on and off
To switch your TomTom GO on or off, press and hold the On/Off button for 2
seconds. The first time you switch on, it may take a short while for your device
to start.
Note: In rare cases, your GO may not start correctly. If this happens, press the
reset button, then switch on the device again.
Setting up
To set up your TomTom GO you need to answer a few questions by tapping
the screen.
Important: Take care to select the correct language, since the language you
choose will be used for all menus and written instructions.
Battery notes
We recommend that you fully charge your TomTom GO the first time that you
connect it to the home dock. It takes up to 2 hours to charge the battery
completely.
When you place your GO in the Home Dock, you are asked if you wish to
connect to the computer. If you select No, the device will switch off if you do
not tap the screen for three minutes. This happens so that the battery can
recharge at a faster rate.
For information on connecting your computer, see Using TomTom HOME
Note: Your TomTom GO uses a small amount of battery power to remember
the last screen being shown when the device is switched off.
If you do not charge your GO for a prolonged period of time, the next time you
start your GO it will show the default starting screen. All other device settings
will still be maintained.
Improving reception
If your TomTom GO takes longer than 5 minutes to find your current position,
make sure that the device is in an open space away from tall objects such as
buildings or trees.

When you connect your TomTom GO to your computer, you can use
TomTom HOME to download information about GPS satellite positions during
the next 7 days. This helps your GO to find your position faster.
Important: Some vehicles have heat reflective shielding in the windscreen.
This may prevent your GO from locating your current position.
The TomTom External Antenna Kit (available for purchase as an accessory)
can help to improve reception.
Windshield Holder
Use the windshield holder to install your TomTom GO inside your car.
To attach the holder, press the suction cup firmly to the windshield in your car,
in an area of the windshield where the glass is flat.
Make sure that both the holder and your windshield are clean and dry before
you attach the holder. Place the holder so that it does not interfere with your
view of the road.
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. For information about TomTom HOME, see Using TomTom HOME
