TomTom rider Guide D’Installation Rapide

6

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

position. Make sure that you are in an open place without tall buildings or trees 

around you.

The first time you start your RIDER, it can take a few minutes for the device to 

find your current position. In the future, your position will be found much 

faster, normally within a few seconds.

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.

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 accident, 

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 shall 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. 

Alternatively, you can download TomTom HOME from www.tomtom.com. 

Make sure you always have the latest version of TomTom HOME.

3. In the Planning section, select your RIDER. 

A picture of your RIDER is shown in the main section of TomTom HOME.
