Addendum

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite-based system that provides 

location and timing information around the globe. GPS is operated and con-

trolled 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 of a TomTom device for navigation still means that you need to drive with 

due care and attention. 

Use of devices with an antenna is prohibited on most aircraft, in many hospi-

tals and in many other locations. A TomTom device must not be used in these 

environments.

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 temper-

atures over 60 C (140 F). Failure to follow these guidelines may cause the Lith-

ium-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 pro-

long the lifetime of the battery, charging will not occur at low (below 0 C/32 F) 

or high (over 45 C/113 F) temperatures.
