Connecting and disconnecting a phone

You can use your smartphone to make and receive hands-free calls from your TomTom Rider. This makes riding with your Rider as safe as possible.

Connecting your phone for the first time using Bluetooth

Note: If you want to use hands-free calling, you must first connect a headset.

  1. Switch on Bluetooth on your phone, and make sure your phone is discoverable.
  2. From the Main Menu, select Settings.
  3. Select Bluetooth Connections.

  4. Select Hands-free calling.
  5. If you have not yet connected a headset, select Search for Headset and follow the instructions to establish the connection.
  6. Select Search for Phone and follow the instructions to establish the connection.

When your phone is connected, your Rider imports your call history and phone contacts.

Disconnecting your phone

You can disconnect your phone in the following ways:

Your contacts and call history are temporarily stored on your Rider and are automatically removed 10 minutes after you disconnect your phone. When you switch off or reset your Rider your contacts and call history are removed immediately.

Reconnecting your phone

Your phone will automatically connect when you switch on your Rider and switch on Bluetooth on your phone. Your Rider imports your call history and phone contacts again, including all updates.
