PRECAUTIONS AND NOTICES
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
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.
• 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.
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.
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.
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:
• 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.
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.

WARNING
This symbol means important instructions.
Failure to heed them can result in serious injury

Any function that requires your prolonged attention should only be
performed after coming to a complete stop. Always stop the vehicle
in a safe location before performing these functions.
Failure to do so may result in an accident.
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
VOLUME LEVELS IN A CAR MAY ALSO CAUSE HEARING
DAMAGE.
HALT USE IMMEDIATELY IF A PROBLEM APPEARS.
Failure to do so may cause personal injury or damage to the
product. Return it to your authorized Alpine dealer or the nearest
Alpine Service Center for repairing.
PRECAUTIONS
Temperature
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.
Servicing the Unit
If you have problems, do not attempt to repair the unit yourself.
Return it to your ALPINE dealer or the nearest ALPINE Service
Station for servicing.
Installation Location
Make sure the NVE-M300 will not be exposed to:
• Direct sun and heat
• Excessive dust
• High humidity
• Excessive vibrations
MINIMIZE DISPLAY VIEWING WHILE DRIVING.
Viewing the display may distract the driver from looking ahead of
the vehicle and cause an accident.
DO NOT DISASSEMBLE OR ALTER.
Doing so may result in an accident, fire or electric shock.
USE THIS PRODUCT AS SPECIFIED.
Use for other than its designed application may result in fire,
electric shock or other injury.
KEEP SMALL OBJECTS SUCH AS SCREWS OUT OF THE
REACH OF CHILDREN.
Swallowing them may result in serious injury. If swallowed,
consult a physician immediately.
