**

INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on purchasing your GR300BT marine radio.

For simplicity and performance, the GME GR300BT is the entertainment unit of choice where space is limited. Using either the included gimbal mounting bracket or an optional flush mounting kit, the flexibility and size of the GR300BT is suited to vessels where there is insufficient space to install a conventional marine entertainment system.

Powerful yet compact, the GR300BT combines an AM/FM radio with Bluetooth® audio streaming that can be paired with any Smartphone, tablet or compatible device. A front face Lanson speaker maintains audio clarity and minimises distortion. For higher output power and full stereo sound, a pair of external speakers can be connected using the included speaker adaptor cables. An auxiliary input socket allows direct audio connection to media players that don’t support Bluetooth® streaming.

COMPLIANCE

This device complies with AS/NZS 61000.6.3:2007.

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the condition that this device does not cause harmful interference.

LISTENING TO FM IN YOUR BOAT

The majority of FM broadcasts are music programs. Compared with AM signals, FM signals have a wider dynamic range, are relatively immune to noise and provide virtually distortion free music reproduction.However, because of the nature of FM signals and the fact that FM stations are usually positioned for shore based reception, reception in a moving boat may be accompanied by problems.

FM programs are broadcast for local reception and may not be heard satisfactorily at distant locations. To enjoy FM programs at their best, it is important that you tune to a station that is broadcasting in your locality.

FM signals can reflect from solid objects such as buildings or hills. If these reflected signals are received along with signals that are arriving directly from the transmitter, they may mix together to produce what is known as ‘multipath distortion’. This distortion is heard as noise. Often, moving as little as one metre from your position will correct this problem.

FM signals travel in straight lines. Because the signals are reflected from or absorbed by large solid objects, a signal ‘shadow’ may be present behind the object which may result in poor reception in that area.

AUXILIARY AUDIO INPUT
An auxiliary audio input lead with a 3.5 mm socket is fitted to the GR300BT rear panel to allow a direct audio connection from an external audio playback device or MP3 player. Connection is made using a 3.5 mm to 3.5 mm accessory lead. A suitable accessory lead (LE74) is available from your GME dealer.

To access the audio input, press the SRC key repeatedly until the ‘AUX’ icon appears. ‘In’ will be displayed.

NOTE: If ‘- – – -‘ is displayed instead of ‘In’ when the AUX input is selected, the 3.5 mm accessory lead has not been connected.

INSTALLATION

NOTE: Your GR300BT is designed for connection to negative earth electrical systems only.

SELECTING A LOCATION
It is advisable to spend a little time selecting the best location for your GR300BT. The radio can be mounted to a shelf or panel using the supplied gimbal bracket. Alternatively it can be flush mounted using an optional flush mount kit

Keep the following points in mind when choosing a location

The GR300BT is designed to meet IPX7* standard. However we recommended you select a location that will minimise excessive exposure to continuous rain or spray.
Select a location that won’t expose your radio to continuous direct sunlight which could cause overheating.
Ensure the location allows a free flow of air around the heat sink on the back of the radio.
Components and currents in the radio create magnetic fields. To avoid interference to compasses, ships autopilot sensors etc, the GR300BT should be mounted at least 300 mm from such devices.

INSTALLING THE UNIT

Gimbal Mounting
The mounting bracket can be rotated above or below the radio enabling the radio to be mounted to a wide range of locations.

After choosing a location, hold the unit with the mounting bracket attached, to the desired position and mark the location with a pencil. Remove the mounting bracket from the radio and drill the mounting holes. Bolt or screw the bracket in place using hardware suitable for the mounting surface. The unit is supplied with stainless steel screws; however, if the mounting surface is unsuitable for screws you may need to replace these with stainless steel bolts. Remember the fixings for overhead mounted units may have to withstand heavy pounding when a vessel is in rough water or being towed on a trailer over rough road

Upright Mounting
Overhead Mounting

FLUSH MOUNTING
The GR300BT can be flush mounted using the optional MK008 flush mounting kit.

A cutting template and full mounting instructions are provided with the kit.

Flush Mounting using the optional MK008 mounting kit.

DC CONNECTIONS
Please refer to the wiring diagram in the ‘Speakers’ section of thisinstruction manual.

Connect the RED power lead to the Positive (+) side of the battery or to an accessory point in the vessel or vehicle’s fuse box that provides a +12 volt connection.

Connect the BLACK power lead to the Negative (-) side of the battery or to a ground point in your vessel or vehicle.

IMPORTANT: The RED power lead is fitted with a 6 amp fuse. If the fuse blows, use only a standard 6 amp (3AG) fuse as a replacement. Use of a higher rated fuse or a slow-blow type could result in damage to your radio which would void the warranty.

SPEAKERS
For simple installations, the GR300BT can be installed without externalspeakers.

The GR300BT’s internal monitor speaker can provide good quality mono sound suitable for many applications. However, for full stereo sound and higher output power you will need to connect a pair of external speakers using the speaker adaptor leads supplied. The GR300BT’s internal monitor speaker is automatically disconnected when the external speakers are plugged in.

If connecting external stereo speakers to your GR300BT, they should be connected to the Left and Right speaker sockets at the rear of theunit. Note that the speaker sockets are fitted with protective covers to protect against water ingress when not in use. The GR300BT is supplied with two speaker adapter leads which are designed to accept the standard bullet connectors commonly found on most marine and automotive stereo speaker cables. The plugs on the speaker adapters plug into the matching the sockets on the rear of the GR300BT. The speaker adapters are labelled left and right and should be matched with the labels on the speaker socket cables to ensure correct speaker phasing.

When connecting the speakers, observe the correct speaker polarity by matching the white stripes on the speaker leads with the white stripes on the adaptor cable as shown in the diagram. Incorrect polarity (speaker phasing) will result in a reduction of bass response and stereo effect.

The use of speakers with an impedance of less than 4 Ohms is not recommended as they will cause excessive loading of the GR300BT’s output circuit.

NOTE: The GR300BT is a two speaker system that requires one pair of wires for each speaker. Do not short the speaker wires together or touch them to the supply voltage or to ground otherwise damage to the amplifier may result

Once the external stereo speakers are connected you can adjust thebalance between the left and right speaker using the Balance function available via the SEL key.

ANTENNA INSTALLATION
It is essential to select a good quality AM/FM antenna. A poor qualityantenna will not provide good performance. We recommend you contact your local dealer for advice.

The antenna should be mounted in a position as high as practical to ensure good reception especially in areas of low signal strength.

When installing the antenna, ensure a minimum clearance of around 20 cm from bow or stern rails or windscreen frames etc. It is also recommended the antenna be placed at least one metre from two-way radio antennas to minimise interference from radio transmissions.

To connect the antenna to your GR300BT, simply plug the antenna lead into the fly-leaded antenna socket on the rear of the unit. The socket accepts a standard AM/FM radio bayonet connector

NOTE: The antenna socket is not waterproof.

NOISE SUPPRESSION
The inherent design of FM radios results in a high level of resistance to ignition and electrical interference however electrical interference on AM radio can be almost impossible to eliminate. To help minimise any interference, take extra care during the installation. Try to route the DC battery leads, the antenna lead or any accessory wires away from the engine compartment, ignition or alternator wiring. A suppression kit may also help to reduce excessive electrical noise. Contact your local marine dealer or radio installer for more information.

If the interference you are experiencing is from other nearby electronic equipment such as a depth sounder, try to keep the depth sounder’s DC leads and transducer cable well away from your GR300BT’s wiring

WATERPROOFING THE CONNECTIONS
After installation, the power, speaker and antenna connectors should be wrapped in waterproof tape (or similar) to minimise the risk of corrosion or water damage. Do not use normal electrical tape as this will not provide an adequate seal against water. The connectors should then be positioned where they are not directly exposed to the elements.
