Any changes in GPS availability and accuracy, or in environmental conditions, may impact the
operation of this device. TomTom does not accept any liability for the availability and accuracy of

Use with care
Use of TomTom products while driving still means that you need to drive with due care and atten-
tion.
Aircraft and hospitals
Use of devices with an antenna is prohibited on most aircraft, in many hospitals and in many other
locations. This 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 prod-
uct in or near a heat source, in a high temperature location, in strong direct sunlight, in a micro-
wave 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 battery to leak acid, become hot, explode or ig-
nite and cause injury and/or damage. Do not pierce, open or disassemble the battery. If the battery
leaks and you come into contact with the leaked fluids, rinse thoroughly with water and seek med-
ical attention immediately. For safety reasons, and to prolong the service life of the battery, charg-
ing 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
