Important Safety Information

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Before installing and using the Cobra NAV ONE system, please read these general warnings and precautions. Without reading this 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

6 to 9 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 to know how to operate it.

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.

WARNINGS

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

WARNINGS

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 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 disassemble or modify the system; personal injury or damage could result. If a problem occurs, stop using the system immediately and contact Cobra. Changes or modifications to the system may void its compliance with FCC rules and make it illegal to use.

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.

CAUTION SYMBOLS AND STATEMENTS

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

CAUTIONS

The 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.

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.

This unit is not waterproof. Do not allow liquids to splash on it nor

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

expose it to rain during operation or transfer from vehicle to vehicle.

This unit can be operated in temperatures between -4°F and 158°F (-20°C and 70°C).

The 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, etc.), weather conditions and similar factors. The NAV ONE, when equipped with the optional traffic receiver, overlays traffic information on the Map. However, this data may be more or less complete, depending on the provider. Use personal judgment or the navigation system’s detour function to develop an alternate route if necessary.

CAUTIONS

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

FCC 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 than “outdoor” requirements.

Operation of this device is subject to the following conditions:

1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and

2. This device must accept any interference received, including

interference that may cause undesired operation.

Installation

Put the unit where it is visible at a glance.

Let the NAV ONE “see” the sky.

INSTALLATION

The NAV ONE requires very little installation beyond putting it at a convenient location and securing it in place. The power cord can be connected to the vehicle’s 12-volt power connector.

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

Put the unit where it can be seen 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 the use of vehicle instruments and controls.

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

An important consideration in positioning the NAV ONE is its ability to “see” the sky. Radio signals from the GPS constellation of satellites are weak and cannot penetrate the solid portions of a vehicle’s structure. The top of the NAV ONE 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.

ì NOTE

Some vehicles have windshields with metallic coatings or integral heating systems that can block GPS satellite signals even though the unit “sees” the sky. In those vehicles, an accessory external antenna will need to be mounted outside the vehicle and connected to the unit. See accessories on page 31 for ordering information.

ì NOTE

Some states prohibit attachment of any articles to windshields or side or rear windows. Drivers should determine if such restrictions apply to jurisdictions where they drive. If so, they should use the enclosed dash mounting disk.

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 such conditions.

10474 NAVONE 5000 VD_PH1.2.qxd 7/25/07 2:40 PM Page 7

Installation

To secure and connect the NAV ONE:

1. Select and clean a suitable location where the unit can

be mounted.

2. Separate the mounting bracket from the unit.

3. Press the suction cup against the windshield and pull the lock lever all the way back toward the bracket arm UNTIL IT CLICKS.

4. Continue to press the suction cup firmly against the

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

It should not wiggle.

6. Attach the unit to the bracket. Put the slot on the back of

the unit over the bracket arm and slide the unit down.

7. Adjust the unit position using the knobs and

tighten securely.

8. Plug the power cord into the unit and the vehicle’s

12-volt power connector.

windshield and rotate the lock lever all the way down to the base.

ì NOTE

It is best to temporarily remove the NAV ONE unit when the vehicle is parked to prevent theft or component damage due to temperature extremes. The bracket can be left attached to the windshield for quick reinstallation of the unit.

CHECKING GPS SIGNAL

Once the NAV ONE is installed and the vehicle is in an open area, turn the unit On and observe the GPS signal indicator in the upper right corner of the map screen or view the GPS status screen from Settings on the Main Menu. If the indicator is either yellow or red, the NAV ONE may not be “seeing” the sky and may need to be repositioned.

START-UP TIME

When the NAV ONE 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 can be left turned On for 20 minutes or more to download GPS satellite data. This data will allow much faster satellite acquisition and lock — typically less than a minute — when the system is subsequently turned On.
