Installation
7
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
windshield and rotate the lock lever all the way down
to the base.
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.
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.
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.
