NOTE
SmartPower is on by default, it shuts down
the system in response to a combination
of three conditions: no vehicle motion or
satellite lock for ten minutes, no button
presses for ten minutes and engine not
running as indicated by supply voltage.
This prevents battery drain while parked.
Installation
The unit can be mounted to the vehicle's windshield with the included bracket and suction cup, or an
Installation
alternative mounting can be devised. See the Operating Instructions Manual for more installation information.
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.
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.
CAUTION
All air must
be removed.
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.
Basic operation, start-up and Preferences
Be sure to read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION on pages 3 and 4 of
Basic operation and start-up
the Operating Instructions Manual 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
(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.
Users can select settings from the
Preferences
Preferences menu as shown to the
right. To reach this menu, press the
OPTION function button at the
menu, then ENTER at the [Preferences]
bar on the Option menu. See the
Operating Instructions Manual for the other
choices listed on the Option menu.
Text and list entries (spell and list modes)
The spell and list modes are used to enter information or
Text and list entries (spell and list modes)
choose from lists when selecting destinations, entering data
item names and editing entries. Most times, the system will
default to list mode, but both methods are available by
using the SPELL and LIST function buttons to toggle
between them. Using a combination of the methods
often is the fastest way to make an entry.
Spell mode
Spell mode enables the user to spell out information using the alphanumeric
and numeric-only character loops built into the system as shown at right.
When spelling, scroll or to the first character of the entry; then press
the button to advance to the next character(s).
To make corrections, press the button to erase one character at a time
or press the CLEAR function button to erase the whole entry and start over.
List mode
List mode enables the user to select entries
from data lists in the system database.
When selecting from a list,

up or down the list.

When ENTER or the GO function button is pressed at the
Route calculation
menu, the system develops the route.
Calculation can be stopped with the STOP function to change route criteria or to
cancel it altogether. When the calculation is finished, the system will automatically
proceed to Route Guidance at the
light green to begin navigation along it. The voice prompt will say, "Please proceed
to the highlighted route."
Address/intersection
Starting with zip code
When selecting an address or intersection, the best starting point is the zip code for the desired destination.
By entering the zip code as the first element of the address, the NAV ONE system will zoom in and look
at only that area. It will always return an associated state and either a single city or a short list to choose
from if more than one city shares the zip code. It allows the quickest destination address selection.
At the Address menu, scroll
Starting with state
If the zip code is not known, the state in which the destination is located must be the first address element
to be entered. This also allows the system to zoom in on a segment of its database for efficient searching.
At the Address menu, scroll
Completing the address or intersection
After the state has been selected, scroll
cross-street — in turn. Press ENTER and select the element using spell or list modes.
Once the address or intersection is completely filled in, the GO function button will become active. Pressing
ENTER or the GO function button will proceed to the

The address element entry process is the same for both methods until the last step at which either the street
number or the cross street is entered. It is possible to toggle between these modes after the state, city and
street have been entered. Instructions for the
Clear function
When using the address/intersection method to select a destination, the CLEAR function will clear the
highlighted entry as well as any sub-fields. For instance, clearing the city field will also clear the street
