Traffic Information using RDS-TMC

The Traffic Message Channel (TMC)

You can receive traffic information on your TomTom ONE using the TomTom

RDS-TMC Traffic Receiver. The TMC transmits traffic information as a radio

signal.

Tip

: The TomTom RDS-TMC Traffic Receiver is included with some products

and available as an accessory for others. Visit tomtom.com for more

information.

The Traffic Message Channel (TMC) is not a TomTom Service. FM radio

stations in several countries broadcast TMC information as part of their

programming. TMC is also known as RDS-TMC traffic information.

Your TomTom navigation device uses this information to warn you about

traffic delays along your route and how you can avoid them.

Note: TomTom is not responsible for the availability or quality of traffic

information provided by TMC.

TMC is not available in all countries or regions. Visit tomtom.com to check if

it is available in your country or region.

Setting up TMC

To start using TMC all you need to do is connect the RDS-TMC Traffic Receiver

to your TomTom navigation device.

Important

: When you install your navigation device in your car, don’t block

the driver’s view of the road.

1. Connect the RDS-TMC Traffic Receiver to your navigation device.
2. Connect the Car Charger to the RDS-TMC Traffic Receiver and then plug the

Car Charger into your car’s cigarette lighter socket.

Note: The RDS-TMC receiver does not work if the Car Charger is not

connected.

3. Place the transparent suction cup at the tip of the antenna firmly against the

upper left hand corner of your car windshield.
