safety information

Warning symbols and statements

Please pay special attention to the WARNING symbols and statements in this manual.

WARNING

Statements identify conditions that could result in personal injury or loss of life.

. . . . . .

Before installing and using the Cobra NAV ONE system, please read these general

precautions and warnings. Without reading the important safety information, the user may be placed in a dangerous situation or may damage the unit before having any practical use from it. Also read pages 7 – 20 in this manual to learn the basics of installing and operating the system. It is strongly recommended to read this entire manual to be familiar with the system’s features, and know how to operate it.

WARNINGS

DO NOT think this NAV ONE is a substitute for personal judgment. The route suggestions should never supersede any local traffic regulation or personal judgment and/or knowledge of safe driving practices. Before making any maneuvers suggested by the NAV ONE system (for example, a U-turn or a left turn), verify that the maneuver can be legally and safely completed. Do not follow route suggestions if they suggest an unsafe or illegal maneuver, would place the vehicle in an unsafe situation or would route the vehicle into an area that could be unsafe.

DO NOT program this NAV ONE while driving. Only a passenger should operate controls or program the unit while the vehicle is in motion. The driver should not program the system unless the vehicle is parked in a safe location.

ONLY glance at the screen when necessary and safe to do so. Listen to the computer voice guidance. If prolonged viewing is necessary, pull off the road to a safe location.

DO NOT use this NAV ONE system to locate emergency services (such as police, fire stations, hospitals and clinics). The database may not include all emergency service providers. Use best judgment and ask for directions in these situations.

DO NOT position the unit in a location that obstructs the driver’s view of the road, instruments or controls to operate the vehicle.

DO NOT drive the vehicle unless the unit is securely attached to the windshield with the supplied bracket and suction cup or is fastened by other reliable means to keep it from becoming a projectile hazard inside the vehicle in the event of a violent maneuver or collision.

DO NOT mount the unit over airbag panels or within airbag expansion spaces. The force of an expanding airbag can thrust objects in its path toward the driver or passengers with injurious result.

DO position the unit so the screen can be viewed with just a quick glance.

DO set the volume at a level that will allow the hearing of outside traffic and emergency services.

and statements

Please pay special attention to the CAUTION symbols and statements in this manual.

CAUTION

Statements identify conditions that could cause damage to the system or other equipment.

CAUTIONS

The user is responsible for operating this product wisely. This NAV ONE system is intended for use only as a navigational aid and should not be relied upon to the exclusion of other information. Be aware of conditions around the vehicle and compare them to the information provided by the NAV ONE system.

The Global Positioning System is provided and operated by the U.S. government, which is solely responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. The system is subject to changes, which could affect the accuracy and performance of this NAV ONE system.

This NAV ONE is not waterproof. Do not allow liquids to splash on it nor expose it to rain during operation or transfer from vehicle to vehicle.

Do not disassemble or modify the unit as this may lead to damage. If a problem occurs, stop using the system immediately and contact a Cobra dealer. Changes or modifications to the unit may void its compliance with government rules and make it illegal to use.

The NAV ONE system’s map database provides information on suggested routes without regard to factors that may affect the user’s driving experience or the time required to arrive at the desired destination. For example, the system does not reflect road detours, closures or construction, some road characteristics (e.g., road surface, slope or grade, weight or height restrictions, etc.), temporary traffic congestion, weather conditions and similar factors. Use personal judgment or the NAV ONE system’s detour mode to develop an alternate route if necessary.

The gyro in the NAV ONE will operate properly only if the unit is in a vertical position. This means that the unit should not be tilted front-to-back or side-to-side. With the unit in the vertical position, it can be rotated in the horizontal plane to any convenient viewing angle.

Do not remove the unit from the windshield or quick release bracket while the unit is turned on. The NAV ONE contains a hard drive, which spins at high speed while the unit is turned on. Handling the unit while the drive is spinning could damage it. When the unit is off, the hard drive is parked in a more secure condition.

Dismount the unit when parked. This will not only minimize the chance of theft but will also reduce the unit’s exposure to heat and strong sunlight which can shorten the life of the internal components.

Do read the important safety information section on page 4 of this manual before using this NAV ONE system.

Installation

ì NOTE

Some vehicles have windshields with metallic coatings or integral heating systems that will block the satellite signals even though the unit “sees” the sky through the glass. In those vehicles, it will be necessary to mount the accessory external antenna outside the vehicle and connect it to the unit. See accessories and order form on pages 27 – 28 for ordering information.

. . . . . . . .

The NAV ONE requires very little installation beyond the

need to put it at a convenient location and to secure it in place. The only connection required is between the unit’s power socket and the vehicle’s 12 volt power socket.

When locating and securing the NAV ONE in the vehicle, keep in mind the warnings and cautions on pages 4 – 5 to allow using the NAV ONE safely while driving the vehicle:

Put the unit where it is visible at a glance and the voice instructions can be heard.

Do not put the unit where it will obstruct the driver’s view of the road or interfere with use of vehicle instruments and controls.

Do not put the unit over airbag panels or within airbag expansion spaces.

Attach the unit to the vehicle so that it does not become a projectile hazard in a collision.

Position the unit vertically to allow the gyro in the NAV ONE to operate properly.

Two important considerations in positioning the unit are:

A. Its ability to “see” the sky. Signals from the GPS

constellation of satellites are weak and cannot penetrate the solid portions of the vehicle’s structure. The top of the unit contains the GPS antenna and needs maximum exposure to the sky through the windshield. This will allow the unit to receive signals from as many satellites as possible in various vehicle headings.

Do not let the mount block the view of the sky.

Alternative mounting recommended for highpitched windshields.

Put the unit where it is visible at a glance.

Let the NAV ONE “see” the sky.

Installation

B. The gyro in the NAV ONE will operate properly only if the unit is in

a near-vertical position. This means that the unit should not be tilted

WARNING

If the unit is not securely attached to the vehicle, it can become a projectile hazard to the vehicle’s occupants during a violent maneuver or a collision. The unit can cause serious injury under the influence of forces resulting from such accelerations or decelerations.

front-to-back or side-to-side. With the unit in the vertical position, it can be rotated in the horizontal plane to any convenient viewing angle.

The unit should be as close to vertical as possible and not tilted front-to-back or side-to-side.

To secure and connect the NAV ONE:

1. Select a suitable location where the unit can be mounted vertically

and clean the mounting area.

2. Separate the suction cup and mounting bracket assembly from the unit.

3. FIRMLY press the suction cup against the windshield by applying pressure

to the central PRESS button. Be sure the button is pressed all the way in to make sure ALL the air is out of the suction cup.

4. While maintaining FIRM pressure on the button, pull the lock lever up or

down over the button.

5. Test suction cup adhesion by pulling on the bracket. THE ASSEMBLY

SHOULD NOT WIGGLE. If it does, unlock the lever and repeat steps 3 and 4.

6. Attach the unit to the mounting bracket by means of the quick release feature.

7. Plug the power cord into the unit and the vehicle’s 12 volt power socket.

Alternative securement of the NAV ONE:

If it is not practical to mount the unit to the windshield with the supplied suction cup and bracket, the user can develop an alternative mounting using the 1⁄4-20 threaded socket — compatible with most camera mounting equipment — in the bottom ofthe unit. The supplied bracket may be removed or left attached when an alternative mounting arrangement is employed. Additional mounting bracket options, that may be more suited to your vehicle, are available at www.cobra.com.

After installation is complete and the vehicle is in an open area, turn on the unit. The GPS signal

strength indicator at the lower left corner of the LCD should show four green bars to confirm the antenna is “seeing” the sky properly. If the bars are fewer than four and are either yellow or red, the unit may need to be repositioned.

When the GPS Navigation System is new (or has been idle for more than seven days or has

moved more than 500 miles while off), it can take up to five minutes for the system to lock onto the GPS satellites. After such a start-up, the system should be left turned on for at least 20 minutes to download GPS satellite data. Having updatedsatellite data will allow much faster satellite acquisition and lock — typically less than a minute — when the unit is turned on again.

Address/intersection

The NAV ONE system allows selection of any street address or intersection in its database as a destination.

Starting with zip code (postal code)

When selecting an address or intersection, the best starting point is the zip code for the desired destination. By entering the zip code as the first element of the address, the NAV ONE system will zoom in and look at only that area. It will always return an associated state and either a single city or a short list to choose from if more than one city shares the zip code. It allows the quickest destination address selection. At the 2Address menu, scroll5or6to zip and press ENTER.

Starting with state (province)

If the zip code is not known, the state in which the destination is located must be the first address element to be entered. This also allows the system to zoom in on a segment of its database for efficient searching. At the 2Address menu, scroll5or6to [State] and press ENTER.

Completing the address or intersection

After the state has been selected, scroll5or6to the next blank elements — city, street, and number or cross-street — in turn. Press ENTER and select the element using spell or list modes.

Once the address or intersection is completely filled in, the GO function button will become active. Pressing ENTER or the GO function button will proceed to the 2Select Route Criteria menu.

Street or intersection

The INTERSECTION function button toggles the system from the 2Address menu to the 2Intersection menu. The address element entry process is the same for both methods until the last step at which either the street number or the cross street is entered. It is possible to toggle between these modes after the state, city and street have been entered. Instructions for the 2Address menu apply to the 2Intersection menu as well.

Clear function

When using the address/intersection method to select a destination, the CLEAR function will clear the highlighted entry as well as any sub-fields. For instance, clearing the city field will also clear the street and number or cross-street fields.

ì NOTE

In any list, in addition to scrolling individual items using the

Point of interest

Selecting a POI as a destination allows a public place to be found without necessarily knowing the address. The NAV ONE database includes thousands of points of interest in over 40 categories from airports to museums to restaurants. This mode can also be used as a means of finding the address and telephone number of any location in the POI database — the data is shown in the final screen of each selection process.

Off route events

During a trip, the NAV ONE system offers help if a turn is missed or a side trip is taken from a calculated route. It also allows changes to be made enroute — including detours, changing route criteria and trip plans, and canceling navigation.

Leaving a calculated route

Within a short distance of the vehicle leaving a calculated route, the NAV ONE system will recognize the deviation and provide helpful information. In the case of a missed turn or similar situation, the system will provide voice prompts, such as, “Please make a legal U-turn,” to return to the calculated route while the system remains in the active navigation screen.

If a longer deviation is made and the prompts to return to the route are ignored, the system will calculate a new route to the destination — often a mini-route to intercept the original route at a later point — provided the auto reroute option is turned on. The new route will be displayed in the active navigation screen and the voice prompts will adjust accordingly. If auto reroute is turned off, the system will suspend guidance until the user takes some action such as [Detour] or [Cancel].

Changes enroute

Changes can be made at any time during a trip, but only from the 2Planned Route Navigation screen. At that screen, press the EDIT function button to bring up the 2Select Routing Method menu.

Detour

In case of road construction, traffic jams or undesirable roads, the NAV ONE system can quickly calculate a detour to reach the currently selected destination. At the 2Select Routing Method menu, scroll5or6to [Detour] and press ENTER to proceed

Cancel navigation

To cancel the current trip, scroll5or6to [Cancel] at the 2Select Routing Method menu, then press ENTER. At the 2Confirm Cancellation screen, press ENTER to confirm

and return to the 2Main menu. to the 2Select Detour Criteria menu. At that menu, scroll 5or6to the type of detour desired and press ENTER. Successive menus will allow completion of the selected detour type.

Other useful features

PDA positioned for infrared transfer

Previous destination

The NAV ONE system saves the most recent origin and the last nine destinations in memory for quick retrieval.

Address book

The address book allows users to store up to 100 destinations of their choice for ready reference and retrieval. They can also be added from a PDA using the infrared port, then edited and deleted with the system resources.

Trip planner

In addition to individual destinations, the NAV ONE system allows up to five trips to be stored with up to ten destinations to be visited in sequence on each trip.

Useful Tools

Four functions are built into the NAV ONE system to provide added utility. ZOOM, PAN and HERE can be used whether or not a trip is in progress. VOICE is active only while a trip is in progress.

Trip data

The NAV ONE system keeps track of information about each trip and the 2Trip Data screen can be viewed at any time to retrieve data for the current or most recent trip. Users can select two of the data items for display.

Trail mode

This feature can be used to record vehicle movements. Instead of guiding the vehicle on a route calculated in advance, it captures the route actually taken. Once a trail is recorded and saved, it can be used to retrace the route or to repeat it in the future.

Troubleshooting

Very little maintenance is required to keep this NAV ONE system in good operating condition.

Keep the unit components clean by wiping with a soft cloth slightly moistened with lens cleaner or isopropyl alcohol. Do not use solvents or harsh or abrasive cleaners, which could damage the case or scratch the LCD.

Protect the unit from moisture and from being dropped or struck by hard objects to prevent damage. Do not apply pressure to the LCD screen.

Consult the Cobra web site (www.cobra.com) for the latest software and database versions and compare them to those stored in your unit to determine if updating is needed. Software and information updates are also available in DVD format and can be purchased as accessories.
