ABOUT THE NAV ONE SYSTEM

Your unit is complete with a map of the entire United States and Canada as well as a database of millions of points of interest to help you navigate your vehicle.

Except for the

Power and Custom function buttons, all the

controls are available with a few touches of the screen.

However, do not rely entirely on the unit while driving and keep in mind the accompanying Important Information.

MORE INFORMATION

These Operating Instructions combined with the intuitive nature of the controls should have you up and running quickly. For online support, visit www.cobra.com.

RY IT OUT

Using the NAV ONE is the most effective way to learn about it. View the demonstration program by choosing:

Then don’t hesitate to explore your own entries to see how they work.

There are provisions to delete entries and, if things get really tangled up, the factory defaults can be reset using the sequence:

SMARTPOWER

With the SmartPower feature turned on, a NAV ONE unit plugged into a power port that does not turn off with the ignition, will not drain the vehicle’s battery. The factory setting is on.

SmartPower shuts the system down when there is a combination of no vehicle motion and no button press for 15 minutes.

he user is responsible for operating this product wisely. This NAV ONE unit 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

CAUTION

Observe the following precautions to avoid damage to the unit

or personal inconvenience.

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

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

he NAV ONE’s map database provides information on suggested routes without regard to some factors that may affect the user’s driving experience. For example, the system does not reflect all road detours, closures or construction, some road characteristics (such as road surface, slope or grade, weight or height restrictions, e

tc.), weather conditions and similar factors. Use personal judgment or the navigation system’s detour function to develop an alternate route if necessary.

WARNING

Avoid the following hazardous situations that could result in a collision causing severe injury or death.

DO NOT substitute this NAV ONE for personal judgment. The route suggestions should never supersede any local traffic regulation, p

ersonal judgment 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 that would take the vehicle into an unsafe situation or locality.

DO NOT program this NAV ONE while driving. Only a passenger s

hould 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.

DO NOT depend on 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 judgment and ask for directions in these situations.

DO NOT disassemble or modify the system. If a problem occurs, stop using the system immediately and contact Cobra.

DO NOT be distracted by the NAV ONE. DO position the unit so it c

an be seen at a glance when safe to do so.

DO set the volume so you can hear outside traffic and

guidance. emergency services alarms.

WARNING

This product, its packaging and components contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or reproductive harm.

INSTALLATION

The NAV ONE can be easily mounted to the vehicle’s w

indshield with the included bracket and suction cup.

Or, an alternative secure mounting can be used.

Put the unit wher a

t a glance.

It is important that the NAV ONE antenna in the top of the unit can “see” the sky. Radio signals from the GPS satellites are weak and cannot penetrate solid portions of a vehicle’s structure.

When the NAV ONE has been unused for several days, or has been moved more than 500 miles, it can take 15 minutes to acquire satellites. Leaving the unit on for 20 minutes in this case will allow faster acquisitions after that.

IMPORTANT: Check www.cobra.com for software updates.

it is visible

Let the antenna “see” the sky.

WARNING

Observe the following measures to prevent a collision or other condition that could cause serious injury or death.

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

DO NOT mount the unit over airbag panels or within airbag e

xpansion spaces. The force of an expanding airbag can thrust objects in its path toward the driver or passengers with injurious result.

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.

OTE
