TomTom rider Mode D'Emploi

6

Your TomTom RIDER must be outside to be able to locate your current 

position. The first time you start your RIDER, it takes up to 5 minutes for the 

device to find your current position.

In future, your position will be found much faster, normally within a few 

seconds. If your RIDER takes longer than 5 minutes to locate your current 

position, make sure that you are in an open place without tall buildings or trees 

around you.

Your RIDER does not transmit your location, so others cannot use it to track 

you while you are driving.

TomTom RIDER uses a GPS receiver to locate your current position. For more 

information about GPS, see How Does Navigation Work? on page 54.

Attach the RAM™ mount kit to your motorcycle as shown on the Installation 

Poster, then place your RIDER in the holder. When you are attaching the 

mount kit to your motorcycle, follow these guidelines:
• If you are unsure about attaching the mount kit yourself, ask a professional 

to fit it for you.

• Make sure that the mount kit does not interfere with any of the controls on 

the motorcycle. 

• Always use the correct tools. If you use unsuitable tools, you may damage 

or break the mount kit.

• Do not overtighten nuts. You may crack parts of the mount kit or damage 

your handlebars if you overtighten the nuts.

• If you are using the u-bolt, don’t forget to put the rubber caps provided over 

the exposed threads.

Damage due to modifications, improper installation, road hazards or 

accidents, are not covered.  Neither RAM nor TomTom shall be liable for any 

injury, loss, or damage, direct or consequential, arising out of improper 

installation, or inability to use product.  Before use, the user must determine 

the suitability of the product for its intended use. The user assumes all risk and 

liability, whatsoever, in connection with the mount.

Set a password for your TomTom RIDER so that only you can use it. Every 

time you start your RIDER you will have to enter your password.

To set the password, you have to run your RIDER using TomTom HOME. You 

can then use TomTom HOME to set the password. To set a password on your 

device, do the following: 
1. Connect your RIDER to your computer and switch it on. 
2. Start TomTom HOME if it does not start automatically. 

If you do not have TomTom HOME installed, insert the CD that came with 

your RIDER to install it.
