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 environ-

mental 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.

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.

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.

We recommend that you use the safety preferences on your TomTom device, where avail-

able. 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 dan-

gerous and will invalidate your warranty.

• If your device includes a memory card, do not use the memory 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.

Battery

high temperature location, in strong direct sunlight, in a microwave oven or in a pressu-

rized container, and do not expose it to temperatures over 60 C (140 F). Failure to follow

these guidelines may cause the Lithium-Polymer battery to leak acid, become hot, explode
