Important Safety Notices and Warnings
Global Positioning System
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite-based system that provides
location and timing information around the globe. GPS is operated and
controlled under the sole responsibility of the Government of the United
States of America which is responsible for its availability and accuracy. Any
changes in GPS availability and accuracy, or in environmental conditions, may
impact the operation of your TomTom device. TomTom does not accept any
liability for the availability and accuracy of GPS.
Use with Care
Use of a TomTom device for navigation still means that you need to drive with
due care and attention.
Taking care of your TomTom device
Do not leave your TomTom device or TomTom accessories on view when you
leave your car. They may become an easy target for thieves.
You can set a password for your device which must be entered every time you
start your device.
We recommend that you use the safety preferences on your TomTom device,
where available. The safety preferences are available in the Preferences menu.
Take care of your TomTom device and clean it correctly.
• Use a soft cloth to wipe the screen of your device; do not use any liquid
cleaners.
• If your device gets wet, dry it with a soft cloth.
• Do not open the casing of your device under any circumstances. Doing so
may be dangerous and will invalidate your warranty.
• Do not use the memory card (SD card) with any device other than a
TomTom device. Other devices may damage the memory card.
• Do not expose your device to high or low temperatures, which can cause
permanent damage. For example, don't leave it in the car on hot summer
days or during cold winter nights.
Aircraft and Hospitals
Use of devices with an antenna is prohibited on most aircraft, in many
hospitals and in many other locations. A TomTom device must not be used in
these environments.
