21. Traffic information using RDS-TMC Traffic information using RDS-TMC The Traffic Message Channel (TMC) The Traffic Message Channel (TMC) is not a TomTom Service. FM radio stations in several countries broadcast TMC information as part of their programming. TMC is also known as RDS-TMC traffic information. Your TomTom navigation device uses this information to warn you about traffic delays along your route and how you can avoid them. To use TMC traffic information, you need the TomTom RDS-TMC Traffic Receiver that comes with selected TomTom navigation devices or is available as an accessory. For more information on which TomTom devices support RDS-TMC receivers, visit www.tomtom.com. Note: TomTom is not responsible for the availability or quality of traffic information provided by TMC. TMC is not available in all countries or regions. Visit www.tomtom.com to check if it is available in your country or region. Setting up TMC To start using TMC all you need to do is connect the RDS-TMC Traffic Receiver to your TomTom navigation device. Important: When you install your navigation device in your car, don't block the driver's view of the road. 1. Connect the RDS-TMC Traffic Receiver to your navigation device. 2. Connect the Car Charger to the RDS-TMC Traffic Receiver and then plug the Car Charger into your car's cigarette lighter socket. Note: The RDS-TMC receiver does not work if the Car Charger is not connected. 3. Place the transparent suction cup at the tip of the antenna firmly against the upper left of your car windshield. 81
