Important Safety Notices and Warnings

Global Positioning System

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite-based system that provides location and 
timing information around the globe. GPS is operated and controlled 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 this device. TomTom does not accept any liability for 
the availability and accuracy of GPS.

Use with care

Use of TomTom products while driving still means that you need to drive with due care and 
attention.

Aircraft and hospitals

Use of devices with an antenna is prohibited on most aircraft, in many hospitals and in many 
other locations. This device must not be used in these environments.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING DRIVING IN CALIFORNIA AND MINNESOTA

California Vehicle Code Section 26708 "Material Obstructing or Reducing Driver's View" 
permits mounting of a navigation device on the windshield as follows: "A portable Global 
Positioning System (GPS), which may be mounted in a seven-inch square in the lower corner 
of the windshield farthest removed from the driver or in a five-inch square in the lower corner 
of the windshield nearest to the driver and outside of an airbag deployment zone, if the 
system is used only for door-to-door navigation while the motor vehicle is being operated." 
Drivers in California should not use a suction mount on their side or rear windows. 

Note: This section of the California Vehicle Code applies to anyone driving in California, not 
just California residents. 

Minnesota State Legislature Statutes Section 169.71, subdivision 1, section 2 provides that 
"A person shall not drive or operate with any objects suspended between the driver and the 
windshield other than sun visors and rearview mirrors and electronic toll collection devices."

Note: this Minnesota Stature applies to anyone driving in Minnesota, not just Minnesota 
residents.

TomTom Inc. bears no responsibility for any fines, penalties or damage that may be incurred
