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

Extreme care must be taken when mounting TomTom RIDER on a motorcycle. 

Read the description in the Quick Start Guide carefully before mounting 

TomTom RIDER on your motorcycle. TomTom RIDER shall be mounted in 

compliance with the relevant legislation and the vehicle manufacturer's rules. 

Failure to mount TomTom RIDER correctly could result in damage to your 

vehicle and serious injury to the vehicle rider and other road users. TomTom 

RIDER is mounted on your motorcycle at your own risk.

The power cable shall be routed to avoid sharp bends, abrasion, overheating, 

exhaust gases and battery acids and other potential hazards. It must not be 

strained nor distorted by e.g. excessive tightening of cable ties. Ensure that all 

connections are mechanically and electrically safe and secure. Keep away 

from heat sources and vehicle controls. It must not hinder the operation of 

safety equipment nor interfere with the driver’s ability to control the vehicle.

California Vehicle Code Section 26708 (a) (1) provides that “No persons shall
