2. Getting started

Getting started

Install your TomTom XL in your car following the instructions on the

installation poster at the start of this book.

To switch on your TomTom XL, press and hold the On/Off button for 2

seconds. The first time you switch on your device, it may take a short while to

start.

You have to answer a few questions to set up your device.

Having problems?

In rare cases, your XL may not start correctly or may stop responding to your

taps.

First, check that the battery is charged properly. To fully charge the battery,

you need to charge it for at least 2 hours.

If this doesn’t work, you can reset your device. To do this, press and hold the

Power button for fifteen seconds. Release the Power button when device

begins to restart.

Charging your TomTom XL

Before you use your XL for the first time, it’s a good idea to charge it fully using

the home charger, which takes about 2 hours.

There is no charging light on your XL. To check the battery status and see

when your XL is charging, switch on your device and tap the bottom right-

hand corner of the screen in the Driving View. The battery status is shown on

the next page.

Improving reception

If your TomTom XL 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 XL to your computer, you can use TomTom

HOME to download information about GPS satellite positions during the next

7 days. This helps your XL to find your position faster.

Important: Some vehicles have heat reflective shielding in the windshield.

This may prevent your XL from locating your current position.

Take care of your TomTom XL

Never leave your TomTom XL or accessories in view when you leave the car

or they may become an easy target for thieves.

You can set a password for your TomTom XL which must be entered every

time you start your XL.

It is important to take care of your XL.

• Your XL is not designed for use in extreme temperatures and any such

exposure may cause permanent damage.

• Do not open the casing of your XL under any circumstances. Doing so may

be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.

• Wipe or dry the screen of your XL using a soft cloth. Do not use any liquid

cleaners.

Arrival times

When you plan a route, your TomTom XL asks you if you need to arrive at a

particular time.

Tap YES to enter a preferred arrival time.

Your XL calculates your arrival time and shows you whether you will arrive on

time.

You can also use this information to work out when you need to leave. If your

XL shows that you will arrive 30 minutes early, you can wait and leave in 30

minutes time, rather than arrive early.

Your arrival time is constantly recalculated during your trip. The status bar

shows whether you will arrive on time or if you are going to be late, as shown

below:

You will arrive 55 minutes before the arrival time you entered.

If the estimated arrival time is more than five minutes before

the time you entered, it is shown in green.

You will arrive 3 minutes before the arrival time you entered.

If the estimated arrival time is less than 5 minutes before the

time you entered, it is shown in yellow.

You will arrive 19 minutes late.

If the estimated arrival time is later than the time you entered,

it is shown in red.

Tap Status bar preferences in the Preferences menu, to enable or disable

arrival time notifications.

Select the required options on the first menu screen and then tap Done.

the route to them.

To plan a route in advance, follow these steps:

1. Tap the screen to bring up the main menu.

2. Tap the arrow button to move to the next menu screen and tap Prepare

route.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

may not be the quickest route, especially if the shortest route is through

a town or city.

• Avoid freeways - a route which avoids freeways.

• Walking route - a route designed for making the trip on foot.

• Bicycle route - a route designed for making the trip on a bicycle.

• Limited speed - a route for a vehicle which can only be driven at a limited

speed. You have to specify the maximum speed.

6. Your TomTom XL plans the route between the two locations you selected.

5. Finding alternative routes

Finding alternative routes

Once you have planned a route, you may want to change something about the

route, without changing your destination.

Why change the route?

Maybe for one of these reasons:

• You can see a roadblock or a line of traffic ahead.

• You want to travel via a particular location, to pick someone up, stop for

lunch or fill up with gas.

• You want to avoid a difficult intersection or a road you don’t like.

Tap Find alternative... in the Main Menu to change the route that is

currently planned.

Then tap one of the options below.

Find alterna-

tive...

Tap this button to calculate an alternative to the route already planned.

Your XL will look for another route from your current location to your

destination.

Calculate

alternative

If you decide you would prefer to use the original route after all, tap

Recalculate original.

Why would I need to do this?

Apart from the roads near your position and near your destination, the new

route will use totally different roads to reach your destination. This is an

easy way of calculating a totally different route.

Tap this button if you can see a roadblock or a line of traffic ahead. You then

have to choose how much of the route ahead you want to avoid.

Avoid

Choose from the different options: 100m, 500m, 2000m, 5000m. Your XL

will recalculate your route avoiding the section of the route for the distance

you selected.

roadblock

Don’t forget that once a new route is calculated, you may have to turn off

the road you are on very soon.

If the roadblock suddenly clears, tap Recalculate original to return to your

original route.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Tap this button to change your route so that it passes a particular location,

perhaps to pick someone up on the way.

You choose the location you want to pass in the same way as you choose a

destination. So you can select from all the same options: for example,

Address, Favorite, Point of Interest and Point on map.

Travel via...

Your XL will calculate a new route to your destination that passes the

location you chose. Unlike your final destination, your XL does not inform

you when you pass by this location.

Using this button, you can only travel via one location. If you want to pass

more than one, use an Itinerary.

Tap this button to return to the original route without deviations to avoid

roadblocks or traveling via particular locations.

Recalculate

original

Tap this button to avoid a part of the route. Use this button if you see that

your route includes a road or junction you don’t like, or which is well-

known for traffic problems.

Avoid part of

route

You then choose the road you want to avoid from a list of the roads on your

route.

Tap this button to recalculate your route so that it avoids traffic problems as

much as possible. Your XL will check if there are any traffic problems on

your route and work out the best route to avoid the problems.

Minimize

delays

Note: This button is only available with TomTom Traffic enabled.

save more than just the location.

• Phone number - when you create a POI, you can save a phone number with

it.

• Categories - when you create a POI you have to put it in a category.

For example, you could create a category of POIs called ‘Favourite

restaurants’. With each POI, save the phone number so that you can call them

from your XL to reserve a table.

11. Itinerary Planning

Itinerary Planning

What is an Itinerary?

An Itinerary is a plan for a trip including more locations than your final

destination.

An Itinerary can include the following items:

• Destination - a location on your trip where you want to stop.

• Waypoint - a location on your trip you want to travel through without

stopping.

Here’s an example of an Itinerary:

Destinations are shown using this symbol.

Waypoints are shown using this symbol.

When would I use an Itinerary?

You could use an Itinerary for trips such as:

• A road trip through a country with lots of stops.

• A two day car trip with an overnight stop.

• A short drive which passes by Points of Interest.

In all these examples you could tap Navigate to... for each place. However, if

you use an Itinerary, you can save time by planning everything in advance.

Creating an Itinerary

1. Tap the screen to bring up the main menu.

2. Tap Itinerary planning.

3. Tap Add and select a location.

Tip: You can add items to your Itinerary in any order and rearrange the order

later.

Following an Itinerary

When you use an Itinerary to navigate, the route will be calculated to the first

destination on the Itinerary. Your TomTom XL calculates the remaining

distance and time to the first destination and not for the whole Itinerary.

As soon as you start to use an Itinerary, the route is calculated from your

current position. You do not need to set a departure point.

When you have passed a waypoint or reached a destination, it is marked as

visited.

Waypoints are shown on the map. Your XL will not warn you when you are

approaching a waypoint or when you arrive at a waypoint.

Organizing an Itinerary

Tap an item on your Itinerary to open a page of buttons for editing the item.

The buttons shown below are available.

13. TomTom Map Share

TomTom Map Share

TomTom Map Share is a free service that lets you make updates to your

map and if you want to, share those updates with other members of the

TomTom Map Share community.

If you find a street that has recently been blocked to traffic but was open

before, you can use Map Share to update your map and then share the update

with other Map Share members.

You can use Map Share to send and receive map updates during the first year

after the map’s release date. This means that one year after the release date,

you will no longer be able to send or receive map updates for that version of

the map - You will still be able to make updates to your own map for use on

your own device.

When you join the TomTom Map Share community you can keep your maps

up-to-date with the latest updates made by other Map Share community

members.

You choose the type of updates you want and each time you connect your

TomTom XL to TomTom HOME, the map is automatically updated.

Map updates

There are two types of map update:

• Updates that are immediately shown on the map. These include, changing

the traffic flow of a street, blocking or renaming a street and adding or

editing POIs.

This type of change is immediately shown on your own map. You can hide

these updates at any time in the Map Share preferences menu.

• Updates that are reported to TomTom but not shown immediately on your

map. These include, missing streets, errors in freeway entrances and exits

and missing roundabouts.

This type of update is investigated by TomTom and once verified, is included

in the next map release. These updates are therefore not shared with the Map

Share community.

14. Traffic Information using RDS-TMC

Traffic Information using RDS-TMC

The Traffic Message Channel (TMC)

You can receive traffic information on your TomTom XL using the TomTom

RDS-TMC Traffic Receiver. The TMC transmits traffic information as a radio

signal.

Tip: The TomTom RDS-TMC Traffic Receiver is included with some products

and available as an accessory for others. Visit tomtom.com for more

information.

The Traffic Message Channel (TMC) is not a TomTom Service. FM radio

stations in several countries broadcast TMC information as part of their

programming. TMC is also known as RDS-TMC traffic information.

Your TomTom navigation device uses this information to warn you about

traffic delays along your route and how you can avoid them.

Note: TomTom is not responsible for the availability or quality of traffic

information provided by TMC.

TMC is not available in all countries or regions. Visit tomtom.com to check if

it is available in your country or region.

Setting up TMC

To start using TMC all you need to do is connect the RDS-TMC Traffic Receiver

to your TomTom navigation device.

Important: When you install your navigation device in your car, don’t block

the driver’s view of the road.

1. Connect the RDS-TMC Traffic Receiver to your navigation device.

2. Connect the Car Charger to the RDS-TMC Traffic Receiver and then plug the

Car Charger into your car’s cigarette lighter socket.

Note: The RDS-TMC receiver does not work if the Car Charger is not

connected.

3. Place the transparent suction cup at the tip of the antenna firmly against the

upper left hand corner of your car windshield.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

4. Then place the remaining suction cups along the edge of the windshield, as

shown, keeping the cable straight.

5. Switch on your navigation device.

searches for a radio station that carries RDS-TMC information.

These symbols are shown at the top of the traffic sidebar:

Your XL has the latest RDS-TMC traffic information.

Your XL is waiting to download the latest RDS-TMC traffic

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.

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.

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.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING DRIVING IN CALIFORNIA AND MINNESOTA

California Vehicle Code Section 26708 (a) (1) provides that “No persons shall

drive any motor vehicle with an object or material placed, displayed, installed,

affixed or applied upon the windshield or side or rear windows.” Drivers in

California should not use a suction mount on their windshield, side or rear

windows.

Note: this section of the California Vehicle Code applies to anyone driving in

California, not just California residents.

Minnesota State Legislature Statutes Section 169.71, subdivision 1, section 2

provides that “A person shall not drive or operate with any objects suspended

between the driver and the windshield other than sun visors and rearview

mirrors and electronic toll collection devices.”

Note: this Minnesota Stature applies to anyone driving in Minnesota, not just

Minnesota residents.

TomTom Inc. bears no responsibility for any fines, penalties or damage that

may be incurred by disregarding this notice. While driving in any state with

windshield mounting restrictions, TomTom recommends the use of the

supplied Adhesive Mounting Disk or its Alternative Mounting Kit, which

includes multiple options for mounting TomTom devices on the dashboard

and using the air vents. See www.tomtom.com for more information about

this mounting option.

Radio and Television Interference

This equipment radiates radio frequency energy and if not used properly - that

is, in strict accordance with the instructions in this manual - may cause

interference to radio communications and television reception.

This device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B

digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed

to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential

installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency

energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may

cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no

guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this

equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,

which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is

encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following

measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation distance between the equipment and the receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to

which the receiver is connected.

• Consult an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for

compliance could void the user‘s authority to operate the equipment.

Important

This equipment was tested for FCC compliance under conditions that included

the use of shielded cables and connectors between it and the peripherals. It is

important that you use shielded cables and connectors to reduce the

possibility of causing radio and television interference. Shielded cables

suitable for the product range can be obtained from an authorised dealer. If

the user modifies the equipment or its peripherals in any way, and these

modifications are not approved by TomTom, the FCC may withdraw the user’s

right to operate the equipment. For customers in the USA, the following

booklet prepared by the Federal Communications Commission may be of

help: “How to Identify and Resolve Radio-TV Interference Problems”. This

booklet is available from the US Government Printing Office, Washington, DC
