devices such as cardiac pacemakers, hearing aids and aviation equipment. Interference with these
devices may endanger the health or life of you or others. If your device includes a mobile network
module, do not use it near unprotected electrical units or in areas where the use of mobile
telephones is prohibited, such as hospitals and aircraft.
Danger of explosion
Parts of the TomTom LINK 510 can cause sparks that can lead to explosions. This may endanger
human health and life. Do not use the unit in areas with high risk of explosion. When using a
TomTom LINK 510 in a vehicle fuelled by liquefied gas, follow the safety regulations of the country
in which the vehicle is operated.
Damage caused through improper installation
The installation and initial operation of the unit must be performed by authorised personnel only
for example, a qualified radio dealer or an automotive electronics workshop.
Risk of injury in case of accidents
Do not mount the unit or accessories in the inflation area of airbags or in the impact area for the
head or knees. Choose an installation location that will avoid interference with displays, safety
equipment and controls.
Damage to the chassis
Make sure you do not drill into parts of the chassis that have structural or security-related
functions. This is because you cannot be certain that they will function properly after modification.

into these can cause fire.
