The two AM bands (AM1 and AM2) are identical to each other as are the two FM bands (FM1 and FM2). To select the required frequency band, briefly press the Band key. Each press will advance to the next band in sequence and a corresponding icon (LW1, SW, AM1, AM2, FM1, FM2 or VHF) will be displayed.
MEMORY KEYS The GR100 has 6 preset memory keys which allow up to 6 frequencies to be stored and recalled within each band. Because there are two identical AM bands and two identical FM bands, this allows 12 AM and 12 FM preset memories. The memories can be stored either manually or automatically. Manually locating and storing station frequencies in the preset Memories 1. Press the Band key repeatedly until the required band is selected. 2.
LOCAL/DX MODE The Local/DX mode controls the receiver’s sensitivity when in the FM mode. The GR100 can be set to high sensitivity for long distance reception (DX) or low sensitivity for local reception (LOC). Briefly press the Mode key six times (one press past the AMS selection). The frequency will be displayed along with the LOC symbol. To select Local or DX modes, briefly press the or key.
Mounting the GR100 The GR100 is designed to be mounted in several different ways to enable it to be installed in the most convenient position. The GR100 is designed to meet IP55 Standard (Refer: www.gme.net.au/IPRatings/IPRatings.html). A location should be selected which provides the best viewing angle for the display. For best results select a location that is free from excessive vibration and continuous direct sunlight. Panel Mount Overhead Mount Upright Mount Upright or Overhead Mounting.
Electrical Wiring. The GR100 is suitable for either negative or positive ground systems. Note: The GR100 has an over voltage detector to indicate when excessive voltage is being applied to the radio. The over voltage detector is triggered when the voltage being applied to the power leads exceeds 18 Volts DC. If this happens, the words ‘hi dc’ will flash on the display. If the voltage exceeds 21 Volts DC, the radio will automatically shut down. Referring to the wiring diagram 1.
The GR100 is supplied with two speaker adapter leads which are designed to accept the standard bullet connectors found on some GME marine speakers and most marine and automotive speaker cables. The plugs on the speaker adapters plug into the matching the sockets on the rear of the GR100. The plugs are fitted with protective flexible covers. When connecting the speakers, observe the correct polarity as shown in the diagram. Incorrect polarity will result in a reduction of bass response and stereo effect.
