Safety Notice
Your TomTom ONE contains a GSM module which can interfere with
electrical devices such as cardiac pacemakers, hearing aids and aviation
equipment.
Interference with these devices may endanger the health or life of others.
Do not use near unprotected electrical units nor in areas where the use of
mobile telephones is prohibited, such as hospitals and airplanes.
Switching on and off
To switch your TomTom ONE 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 ONE may not start correctly. If this happens, press
the reset button, then switch on the device again.
Setting up
Battery notes
To set up your TomTom ONE 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.
For information on connecting your computer, see Using TomTom HOME on
page 37.
Note: Your TomTom ONE 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 ONE for a prolonged period of time, the next time
you start your ONE it will show the default starting screen. All other device
settings will still be maintained.

Improving reception
If your TomTom ONE 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 ONE to your computer, you can use
TomTom HOME to download information about GPS satellite positions during
the next 7 days. This helps your ONE to find your position faster.
Important: Some vehicles have heat reflective shielding in the windscreen.
This may prevent your ONE from locating your current position.
Windscreen holder
Use the windscreen holder to install your TomTom ONE inside your car.
To attach the holder, press the suction cup firmly to the windscreen in your
car, in an area of the windscreen where the glass is flat.
Make sure that both the holder and your windscreen are clean and dry before
you attach the holder. Place the holder so that it does not interfere with your
view of the road.
Take care of your TomTom ONE
Never leave your TomTom ONE or accessories on view when you leave the
car or they may become an easy target for thieves.
You can set a password for your TomTom ONE which must be entered every
time you start your ONE. For more information, see Using TomTom HOME on
page 37.
It is important to take care of your ONE.
• Your ONE is not designed for use in extreme temperatures and any such
exposure may cause permanent damage.
• Do not open the casing of your ONE under any circumstances. Doing so
may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
• Wipe or dry the screen of your ONE using a soft cloth. Do not use any liquid
cleaners.

particular time.
