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.
