Battery Status

[Ian B]

I have a TomTom One IQ. How do you get the battery status to stay on screen at all times. I looked in all the settings but can't find this option.

Thanks in advance.

You can't. It's only visible when you touch the satellite bars.

All TT units are really meant to be used with the included car chargers anyway. Of course, some do use them on battery power only and in 'real world' situations, the best anybody can hope for is usually in the 2-2.5 hr range, depending upon how your batttery savings preferences are set, your brightness settings, whether bluetooth is enabled (for models that have it), etc.

But, as said, wiser to use the unit with a charger.

Although your battery doesn't show up on the main screen, once it starts getting really low the main screen will start showing a blinking red battery on the lower left.
