GD9520W

Designed for flush mounting into bulkheads or dashboards
where the rear case of the product is not exposed to any
water ingress or moisture. The GD9520 has a semi open

INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS

If you are connecting your GD9520 for the first time or have
just reconnected your boat battery and you are experiencing
problems with the unit’s operation, we suggest you try
resetting the unit. The reset button is located under the
removable face panel (see below for instructions). Gently
press the reset button with a paper clip or similar object.
You can then refit the face panel.

Reset Button

The preset station memories and clock time are retained
only while the yellow ‘Memory 12 V+’ lead is connected
(see Electrical Wiring section). If the battery is disconnected
or switched off at the master switch, or the unit is removed
from the vessel, the station memories will be lost and the
clock will need to be reset.

REMOVING & REFITTING THE FACE PANE

L

Before removing the face panel, turn the unit OFF by
pressing the

1. Press the

PWR

button.

15

release button to release the

left hand end of the face panel.

2. Lift the face panel
out towards you.

3.

After removing

the face panel,
place it inside the
supplied case to
protect it from damage.

HANDLING COMPACT DISCS

• Handle the CD/DVD by it’s edge, avoid touching the
disc surface.

• Store your discs away from direct
sunlight or heat sources. Keeping
the disc in it’s original case will
help to avoid damage.

•

Clean the disc with a soft cloth

from the centre to the outer edge,
(see diagram) rather than in a
circular motion.

Do not use solvents.

MOISTURE CONDENSATION

Your GD9520 uses optical laser technology. Occasionally
damp or humid conditions may cause condensation to
appear on the lenses inside the unit. Should this occur, the
unit might not operate correctly. Simply eject the disc and
leave the unit turned on for a while until the
moisture evaporates.

FLUSH MOUNTING

The GD9520 is designed for flush mounting only.

The GD9520 can be neatly flush mounted into a panel or
bulkhead so that just the controls and the protective cover
are visible.

U

sing the template provided, select a suitable location on a
panel or bulkhead. Examine behind the panel to determine
the best method of support.

If the thickness of the panel
is not sufficient to support the unit, it will be necessary
to use the strap supplied (see following diagrams). GME
recommends that the unit should be mounted in a position
that is free from direct sunlight and excessive vibration.

inside edge of the mount frame as shown below.
