Carminat TomTom - LIVE services not working

If you are unable to use LIVE Services on your navigation device, the Traffic bar looks like one of the pictures below:

Exclamation mark
White X
Message NO SIGNAL 
The traffic bar stays grey.

To solve this, perform the following steps. Please test after every step if LIVE Services are active again.

Important: Due to recent changes the LIVE services are assigned directly to your device when purchased. It is no longer necessary to log in with your TomTom account on your Carminat. In fact, LIVE services will only work if you are not logged in to your account.
Do not use the option "MyTomTom account" to log in.

1. Check that your navigation device is connected to TomTom LIVE Services

   From the Main Menu select Status & Information > Connection status .
   
   The status should be CONNECTED .
   
   If the status is NOT CONNECTED , check again after completing all troubleshooting steps, and make a note of the connection status in case you need to contact Customer Care.
