FCC COMPLIANCE STATEMENT  
NVE-M300 has been tested and found to comply with the limits  
for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC  
Rules. These limits are designed to provide more reasonable  
protection against harmful interference in a residential  
installation, and are more stringent than “outdoor” requirements.  
PRECAUTIONS AND  
NOTICES  
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This  
device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device  
must accept any interference received, including interference  
that may cause undesired operation.  
IMPORTANT INFORMATION  
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio  
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance  
with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio  
communications. However, there is no guarantee that  
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this  
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television  
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment  
off and on, you are encouraged to try to correct the interference  
by one of the following measures:  
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS  
PRODUCT  
This product is intended to provide turn by turn instructions to  
get you to a desired destination. Please make certain that all  
persons using this navigation system carefully read these  
precautions and the following instructions fully.  
This product is not a substitute for your personal judgment. Any  
route suggestions made by this navigation system may never  
supersede any local traffic regulations or your personal judgment  
and/or knowledge of safe driving practices. Do not follow route  
suggestions if the navigation system instructs you to perform an  
unsafe or illegal maneuver, places you in an unsafe situation, or  
routes you into an area which you consider unsafe.  
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.  
Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.  
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that  
to which the receiver is connected.  
Consult an experienced radio/TV technician.  
Glance at the screen only when necessary and safe to do so. If  
prolonged viewing of the screen is necessary, pull over in a safe and  
legal manner and location.  
Do not input destinations, change settings, or access any functions  
requiring a prolonged view of the monitor and/or remote control  
while you are driving. Pull over in a safe and legal manner and  
location before attempting to access the system.  
Do not use the navigation system to route you to emergency services.  
Not all locations of emergency services such as police and fire  
stations, hospitals and clinics are contained in the database. Please  
use your own judgment and ask for directions in these situations.  
The map database used in the navigation system is the most recent  
map data available at the time of production. Because of changes in  
streets and neighborhoods, there may be situations where the  
navigation system is not able to route you to your desired destination.  
In these cases, use your own judgment.  
The map database is designed to provide you with route suggestions  
and does not take into account the relative safety of a suggested route  
or of factors which may affect the time required to reach your  
destination. The system does not reflect road closures or  
construction, road characteristics (i.e. type of road surface, slope or  
grade, weight or height restrictions, etc.), traffic congestion, weather  
conditions, or any other factors which may affect the safety or timing  
of your driving experience. Use your own personal judgment if the  
navigation system is unable to provide you with an alternate route.  
There may be situations where the navigation system displays the  
vehicle’s location erroneously. Use your own driving judgment in  
this situation, taking into account current driving conditions. Please  
be aware that in this situation the navigation system should correct  
the vehicle’s position automatically. However, there may be times  
where you may have to correct the position yourself. If this is the  
case, pull over in a safe and legal manner and location before  
attempting operation.  
Make certain that the volume level of the navigation system is set to a  
level which still allows you to hear outside traffic and emergency  
vehicles.  
If there is anything in the manual about the operation of  
the navigation system which you are uncertain about,  
please contact your local Alpine authorized navigation  
dealer or Alpine at 1-888-NAV-HELP (1-888-628-4357)  
before using the navigation system.

from improper connections and operation. Following are the  
meanings of these pictorial displays. It is important to fully  
understand the meanings of these pictorial displays in order to use  
this manual and the system properly.  
PRECAUTIONS  
Temperature  
WARNING  
This symbol means important instructions.  
Failure to heed them can result in serious injury  
or death.  
Be sure the temperature inside the vehicle is between +50°C  
(+122°F) and -10°C (+14°F) before turning your unit on.  
Fuse Replacement  
When replacing the fuse(s), the replacement must be of the same  
amperage as shown on the fuse holder. If the fuse(s) blows more  
than once, carefully check all electrical connections for shorted  
circuitry. Also have your vehicle’s voltage regulator checked.  
DO NOT OPERATE ANY FUNCTION THAT TAKES YOUR  
ATTENTION AWAY FROM SAFELY DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE.  
Any function that requires your prolonged attention should only be  
performed after coming to a complete stop. Always stop the vehicle

Return it to your ALPINE dealer or the nearest ALPINE Service  
Station for servicing.  
KEEP THE VOLUME AT A LEVEL WHERE YOU CAN STILL  
HEAR OUTSIDE NOISES WHILE DRIVING.  
Excessive volume levels that obscure sounds such as emergency  
vehicle sirens or road warning signals (train crossings, etc.) can be  
dangerous and may result in an accident. LISTENING AT LOUD
