TomTom manufactures a line of GPS, or global positioning systems. GPS units guide you to a destination set in the unit through a series of visual and verbal directions. Using satellite technology and tracking systems that can track your position and movement, the unit can customize directions based on your whereabouts and current position. The device can be powered using power adapters or a battery.

1. Hold down the power button to turn on the device. If the device does not turn on, the battery is dead. If the device does turn on, leave the unit on until the battery is completely drained and the unit shuts off.
2. Insert the power adapter into the cigarette lighter of your vehicle. Plug the USB jack on the power adapter into the TomTom USB port.

Depending on the model of TomTom GPS unit, the charging indicator light will either flash or display a solid colored light to indicate the unit is charging.
