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.

INSTALLATION
The NAV101 can be used with a Audiovox navigation-ready DVD unit
(VME 9312 TS, VME 9512 TS, VME 9122TS).
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
negativ 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.
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.

46
Antenna Placement
Since the NAV101 uses GPS technology for navigation, proper antenna place-
ment 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 front bumper or dashboard 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.

GETTING STARTED
The initial GPS location lock is best established when your vehicle is parked. If
the device is in motion, the signal can take longer to initially connect. Once the
initial coordinates are established, the software will follow you as you move and
navigate.
NOTE:
It may take up to 5 minutes to establish the first connection. Subsequent
connections will be faster (30 seconds to 1 minute), but if you have not used the
unit for several days or are very far away from the last location you used it, it
may take up to 5 minutes again to find a strong signal.
Set time zone
Your NAV101 automatically determines the time through the GPS signal.
However, you must set your time zone.
• Select your time zone from the list. You can change the time zone later (see
“General Settings” on page 32)
• Press the confirmation icon.
