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. TomTom does not accept any liability
for the availability and accuracy of GPS.
Use with Care
Use of TomTom 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. TomTom must not be used in these
environments.

the Lithium-Ion battery to leak acid, become hot, explode or ignite 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 medical attention immediately. For safety
reasons, and to prolong the lifetime of the battery, charging will not occur at
