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 Gov-
ernment of the United States of America which is
responsible for its availability and accuracy. Any
changes in GPS availability and accuracy, or in envi-
ronmental 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 available. The
safety preferences are available in the Preferences
menu.
Take care of your TomTom device and clean it cor-
rectly.
• 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.
• 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.
