Installation
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.
