About GPS and GNSS

The NAV101 is a vehicle GPS (Global Positioning Satellite)-based navigation device which
utilizes digital map data to guide you from your selected location A to location B , using location
information obtained from a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS).

A GNSS consists of a set of satellites that transmit high-frequency radio signals containing
time, direction, and distance data that can be picked up by a receiver, allowing users to
pinpoint their precise locations anywhere around the globe. Navigation Satellite Receivers
(GPS devices) use this transmitted information to calculate an exact location on the earth.
Every point on Earth can be identified by latitude and longitude. The receiver uses the
information sent by at least three satellites and determines the coordinates of the receiving
device.

By comparing the time the signals were transmitted from the satellites and the time they were
recorded, the receiver calculates how far away each satellite is. The distance of the receiver
from three or more satellites reflects its position on the surface of the planet. Using these
distance measurements, the receiver might also be able to calculate speed, bearing, trip time,
distance to destination, altitude, etc. The GPS position may be displayed as a point on a digital
map (at least three satellites' signals must be received) and as the GPS device moves the
corresponding trace is displayed as well.

Please keep in mind that although the radio signals of navigation satellites will pass through
clouds, glass, plastic, and other lightweight materials, satellite-navigation receivers will not
work underground or in some enclosed spaces.

Smart2Go Navigation / Tele Atlas Map Data

The NAV101 2GB SD card is pre-loaded with the Smart2Go navigation engine and Tele Atlas
map data. The map data covers the continental US, Canada, Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico.

SAFETY INFORMATION

When the Jensen NAV101 is first turned on, the following message appears:

You must agree to the above notice before operating the NAV101.
The following safety rules must be followed to prevent accidents that can result in injury or

death to yourself or others:

• The driver should operate the device only when the vehicle is stopped. Only a vehicle
passenger should operate the device while the vehicle is moving. When driving, the need
to view the display is minimal. Voice prompts will guide you to your destinations.

• It is your responsibility to comply with all traffic laws.

• The NAV101 is designed to assist you in the process of reaching your destination. It is not
a substitute for attentiveness and good judgement. It is your responsibility to disregard
any unsafe, hazardous, or illegal route suggestions.

• The device does not include, analyze, process, consider, or reflect any of the following:
a. Legal restrictions (such as vehicular type, weight, height, width, load and speed

restrictions);
b. Road slope or grade, bridge height, width, weight, or other limits;
c. Population density;
d. Neighborhood quality or safety;
e. Availability or proximity of law enforcement, emergency rescue, medical, or other

assistance;
f. Construction work zones or hazards;
g. Road or lane closures;
h. Road, traffic, or traffic facilities' safety or condition;
i. Weather conditions;
j. Pavement characteristics or conditions;
k. Special events;
l. Traffic congestion.

• While every attempt is made to ensure that the database is accurate, roadways, points of
interest, and business and service locations may change over time.

• Do not use the NAV101 to navigate to a police station, hospit al, etc. in an emergency. Call
911 for assistance.

NAV101

• Laws in some states prohibit wearing stereo headphones or may prohibit use or
placement of a navigation device while operating a motor vehicle. Please contact your
state's Department of Motor Vehicles for information.

NAV101

INSTALLATION

The NAV101 can be used with a Jensen navigation-ready DVD unit (VM9412, VM9512,
VM9022).

Warnings

• Do not install components in areas which are susceptible to rain, moisture, direct sunlight,
extreme heat or cold, excessive dust, dirt or humidity.

• Do not install the NAV101 where it will obstruct the driver’s view or interfere with the
vehicle’s operating system or safety features (air bags, hazard light buttons, etc.).

• Use only installation parts and hardware provided with the unit. Use of other parts can
cause malfunction and possible damage to your navigation system.

• This product should only be installed in vehicles with a 12-volt battery with negative
grounding. Check the battery voltage of your vehicle before installation.

• To avoid shorts in the electrical system, be sure to disconnect the negative (–) battery
cable before beginning installation.

NAV101 Placement

The NAV101 should be installed under the back or front seat. It can also be installed in the
trunk, if necessary. Do not install the NAV101 where it will come in contact with water or direct
sunlight. Mount the supplied brackets to the NAV101 using the 4mm (.25in) screws provided.

Antenna Placement

Since the NAV101 uses GPS technology for navigation, proper antenna placement is crucial
for optimal performance of the GPS receiver. When using GPS antennas, the antenna plane
should be parallel to the geographic horizon. There should be nothing between the antenna
and the sky to ensure a direct line-of-sight between the antenna and available satellites.

The preferred antenna location is on the top of the car on the roof or trunk area. When placed
on the dashboard, performance may be reduced due to obstruction caused by the window or
roof.

NOTE: Do not cut the GPS antenna cable to shorten or lengthen it.

NOTE: Be sure to install the NAV101 in such a way that the SD card slot is accessible
after install, allowing for the removal/insertion of the SD card for future changes to map
data or upgrades.

WARNING! Be sure to secure all wires/cables safely away from the steering wheel, shift
lever, and gas or brake pedal.

Connections

1. Insert one end of the Smartbus cable into the “DATA BUS” slot on the side of the NAV101
and secure it with a 11mm (.4in) screw (provided). Connect the other end of the cable to
the NAV101 input on the back of your Jensen navigation-ready head unit (VM9412,
VM9512, VM9022). If using a VM9412 or VM9512, secure the cable to the radio using a
11mm (.4in) screw. The VM9022 has a cable to cable connection and does not require an
anchor screw.

2. Attach the GPS Antenna to the “ANTENNA” jack on the side of the NAV101.

3. Insert SD card into the SD card slot and gently press the card in against the spring latch
until it stops, then release. The card will "lock" firmly into place inside the SD card slot.
