TomTom 910 Power Button Question

[OhNoItsMe]

With my TomTom Go 910 I have to press and hold the power button for 3-5 seconds and then let go for it to power up. However to power it off I do not.

Is this normal? Do you folks have to do the same?

I understand that this may be a feature for preventing the unit from being accidentally powered on while in a bag or something, but I just want to make sure.

Yes thats correct. When I power up my TT1 unit I have to press the power button for a few seconds to turn on. I would imagine TT has done this for the reason you just mentioned.

BTW, hello and welcome.

Cool. Thanks digital-flex.

Yep, this is normal behavior. When the 910 first came out (over a year ago or so) the power button was SO sensitive that it would turn itself on in the carrying case at any little bump. The battery would then run out since you would never know it had turned itself on. So I like this feature alot.
