Power off issues with Blue&Me

MikeGV12

Hi, Getting frustrated - Just bought a used Blue&Me Tom Tom Go for my wife's upcoming new Fiat - when the power cable is connected the unit works fine (not sure if the unit works fine connected to the car via the cradle yet - don't have the car yet..!) - the settings show that the battery is fully charged - yet once the cable is disconnected the unit turns itself off immediately. If you turn on the unit with the lead disconnected it shows the welcome screen and plays the welcome notes, but only last 10 seconds or so before turning itself off. The unit has been updated and has been on mains charge for hours - can anyone advise a fix or suggest anything?

Check the battery saving settings, see page 61 of the manual http://download.tomtom.com/open/manuals/blueandmetomtom2/EU_LIVE_RG/refman/BlueMe-TomTom-2-LIVE-EU-RG-en-gb.pdf

Thanks for the heads up on that - I have adjusted the settings (namely the "Device stays on when external power is lost") and it doesn't appear to have made any difference - the unit still turns off immediately if the power cable is removed. The battery is at 90% and there doesn't appear to be any other issue with the unit...??
