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.
BATTERY
This product uses a Lithium-Ion battery. Do not use it in a humid,
wet and/or corrosive environment. Do not put, store or leave your
product in or near a heat source, in a high temperature location,
in strong direct sunlight, in a microwave oven or in a pressurized
container, and do not expose it to temperatures over 60 C (140
F). Failure to follow these guidelines may cause the

contact with the leaked fluids, rinse thoroughly with water and
seek medical attention immediately. For safety reasons, and to
prolong the lifetime of the battery, charging will not occur at low
(below 0 C/32 F) or high (over 45 C/113 F) temperatures.
Temperatures: Standard operation: -0 C (32 F) to +45 C (113 F);
short period storage: -20 C (-4 F) to + 60 C (140 F); long period
storage: -20 C (-4 F) to +25 C (77 F).
