System logic
While using the
NAV ONE system, the
system proceeds from
the opening screen to
the main menu, then
through the processes
needed to get to the desired
destination as shown.
When the NAV ONE system is turned on, an opening screen and safety
reminder are shown and an option is provided to change the language used.
Next, the
2
Main menu becomes available that
provides five means of selecting a destination.
And, that is what the system is all about —
to guide users to destinations with maximum
confidence and minimum fuss.
Once a
destination is
selected, the
user chooses
how to reach
the desired
destination.
Detours take care
of unexpected
encounters.
Trip data tracks progress.
Bottom two fields are
user selectable.

WARNINGS
n
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.
n
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.
n
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.
n
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.
n
DO NOT position the unit in a location that obstructs the driver’s view of the road, instruments or controls to operate the vehicle.
n
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.
n
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.
n
DO position the unit so the screen can be viewed with just a quick glance.
n
DO set the volume at a level that will allow the hearing of outside traffic and emergency services.

compliance
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC interference limits for Class B digital devices FOR HOME OR OFFICE USE. These limits
are designed to provide more reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation and are more stringent

interference and 2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

CAUTIONS
n
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.
n
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.
n
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.
n
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 FCC rules and make it illegal to use.
n
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.
n
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.
n
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.
n
Do read the Important safety information sections on pages 4 and 5 of this manual before using this NAV ONE system.

Installation
6
Installation
The unit can be mounted to the vehicle’s windshield with the included bracket and suction cup, or an
alternative mounting can be devised.
THE UNIT MUST BE FIRMLY ATTACHED TO THE VEHICLE. If it is not, it can become a projectile
hazard to vehicle occupants and possibly cause serious injury during a violent maneuver or crash.
Position the unit where it is visible at a
glance but will not obstruct the driver’s
view of the road or interfere with the use
of vehicle instruments and controls.
Do not put the unit over airbag panels
or within airbag deployment envelopes.
The unit should be as close to vertical as possible
and not tilted front-to-back or side-to-side.
View From
the Top
Do not let the
mount block
the view of
the sky.
Position the unit so the antenna can “see”
the sky.
Alternative mounting
recommended for
high-pitched
windshields.
3. Attach the unit to the mounting bracket
by means of the quick release feature.
4. Plug the power cord into the unit and
the vehicle’s 12 volt power socket.

To secure and connect the NAV ONE:
First, select a suitable location where the unit can be mounted vertically and clean the mounting area.
Then, separate the suction cup and mounting bracket assembly from the unit.
If the vehicle has a metallic coated or integrally heated windshield,
you may need to use the optional external antenna.
1. 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.
2. While maintaining FIRM pressure
on the button, rotate the lock lever
over the button.
Test suction cup adhesion by pulling on
the bracket. THE ASSEMBLY SHOULD NOT
WIGGLE. If it does, unlock the lever and
repeat steps 1 and 2.
Use the quick release lever to temporarily
remove the unit from the mounting bracket
when the vehicle is parked to prevent theft
or heat damage. Be sure to turn off the power
before moving the unit to avoid damage to
the hard drive where the database is stored.
The suction cup portion of the bracket
can be left attached to the windshield
for quick reinstallation.
CAUTION
All air must
be removed.

Basic operation and start-up
Be sure to read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION on
pages 4 and 5 before the first use of the NAV ONE system.
Power on/off
After installation is complete and the vehicle is in an open area, turn on the unit (press and hold the POWER button on the side of the unit).
Each time the unit is turned on, a start-up screen appears on the LCD followed by a safety reminder and an opportunity to select a language.
Then, pressing ENTER will bring up either the 2Main menu or the 2Continue route guidance menu. Each time the system is turned off
(press the POWER button again), the system will retain all information to be recalled when it is turned on again.
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 updated satellite data will allow much faster satellite acquisition
and lock — typically less than a minute — when the unit is turned on again.
Preferences
Users can select settings from the
2
Preferences menu as shown to the
right. To reach this menu, press the
OPTION function button at the 2Main
menu, then ENTER at the [Preferences]
bar on the 2Option menu.
ì NOTE
Cobra recommends
that the system be
used for a while with
the default settings;
then users may
make changes.
