Important Safety Notices and Warnings
Global Positioning System (GPS) and Global Navigation Satellite System (GLONASS)
The Global Positioning System (GPS) and Global Navigation Satellite System (GLONASS) systems are satellite-based systems that provide location and timing information around the globe. GPS is operated and controlled by the Government of the United States of America, which is solely responsible for its availability and accuracy. GLONASS is operated and controlled by the Government of Russia, which is solely responsible for its availability and accuracy. Changes in GPS or GLONASS availability and accuracy, or in environmental conditions, may impact the operation of this device. TomTom disclaims any liability for the availability and accuracy of GPS or GLONASS.

Notice for oversized/commercial vehicles
Devices without a truck map installed will not provide appropriate routes for oversized/commercial vehicles. If your vehicle is subject to weight, dimension, speed, route, or other restrictions on a public road then you must only use a device that has a truck map installed. Your vehicle specifications must be entered accurately on the device. Use this device as a navigation aid only. Do not follow navigation instructions which may put you or other road users in danger. TomTom accepts no liability for damages resulting from your failure to observe this notice.

Do not place the device in an area that may obstruct the deployment of an airbag or of any other safety feature of your vehicle. Always ensure that the device is securely installed/mounted before use. This helps prevent it from becoming loose and/or falling off.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum of 15cm / 6 inches be maintained between a handheld wireless device and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with independent research and recommendations by Wireless Technology Research.
Guidelines for people with pacemakers:
Other medical devices
Please consult your physician or the manufacturer of the medical device, to determine if the operation of your wireless product may interfere with the medical device.
ISO7637
ISO7637 pulse 1 represents the negative voltage transient produced during switching of a higher current inductive load that shares the same circuit with TomTom BRIDGE. Pulse 2b simulates transients from D.C. motors acting as generators after the ignition is switched off. In practice such pulses very seldom occur. The TomTom BRIDGE will reboot due to the pulse and return to normal operation afterwards.
