such as cardiac pacemakers, hearing aids and aviation equipment.
Interference with these devices may endanger the health or life of you or others.

areas where the use of mobile telephones is prohibited, such as hospitals and aircraft.
Using traffic information
If you are using an RDS-TMC receiver to view TMC traffic information on your TomTom PRO de-
vice, connect the TomTom RDS-TMC Traffic Receiver to the USB connector on your device.

traffic delays while you drive, using glowing dots to show you where each traffic incident is locat-
ed on your route.
