ELECTRICAL WIRING AND
CONNECTIONS
DC CONNECTIONS
Caution: The G-DEK is designed for vessels with a 12 volt
negative ground electrical system only!
Referring to the connections diagram:
1. Connect the Yellow wire directly to the positive terminal of the vessel’s battery, or to a point that has +12 volt available at all times. This lead maintains the memories within the G-DEK and is the main power source for the unit.
2. Connect the Red wire to the vessel’s +12 volt supply via an appropriate isolating switch or circuit breaker. This lead enables the radio to be switched ON and OFF. Alternatively, this wire can be connected directly to the battery’s positive terminal and the G-DEK switched ON and OFF using its own controls.

IMPORTANT: Your G-DEK is able to maintain its memories
when it is switched off by the button by drawing power directly from your battery via the Yellow ‘MEMORY B+’ lead. Although the memory backup current is very small (about 20 mA) it could eventually discharge your battery if left connected indefinitely. The time taken to completely discharge your battery could vary depending on its amp-hour rating and battery condition.
If you do not run your boat’s motor regularly or your battery is not kept charged between outings (e.g. solar or wind charger), we recommend you disconnect the Yellow lead each time you secure or trail your boat. This is easily done by connecting the Yellow ‘MEMORY B+’ lead via a master switch, which can be switched off after each outing. This will mean you will lose all your preset station memories and clock settings.
The blue (auto antenna) wire on the wiring loom supplies 12 volts when the G-DEK is switched on and can be used to turn on an external device whenever the G-DEK is switched on.
SPEAKER CONNECTIONS
CAUTION: The G-DEK is a four-speaker system that requires
two separate wires for each speaker. Do not touch the speaker wires together or allow them to touch other wiring.
A range of GME speakers are available from your local GME retailer.
When connecting the speakers, observe the correct polarity as shown in the connections diagram on page 13. Incorrect polarity 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 G-DEK’s output circuit and may result in the radio overheating.
Connect all four speakers as shown in the connections diagram. Adjust the Fader control for the required front/rear balance. If you wish to connect only two speakers, connect these to the rear speaker wires. The remaining speaker wires should be insulated to ensure they cannot short circuit together or to the vessel’s 12 volt or negative electrical Bus. If using only two rear speakers, adjust the Fader control to the rear speakers.
ANTENNA CONNECTIONS
The G-DEK includes an AM/FM tuner (the GM550 also includes a DAB receiver). As these operate on different frequency bands, a separate antenna is required for each. For information on suitable AM/FM and DAB antennas, contact your nearest GME dealer.
Connect the AM/FM antenna to the larger antenna socket (bayonet connector). The DAB antenna connects to the smaller SMA socket (GM550).

AUXILIARY INPUTS
There are two auxiliary inputs to allow connection of audio/ video from other external sources. Auxiliary input selection is made using the SRC button on the remote head unit.
Page 15
G-DEK INSTRUCTION MANUAL PAGE 15
Reset Button
• Aux 1: The auxiliary 1 input accepts an audio input via a
3.5 mm phono connector. This connector is located under the cover to the left of the USB input socket. The Aux 1 input allows the connection of generic MP3 or other audio media players. The selection and playback of your media files is controlled by the connected media player.
For best audio performance, set the volume on your media
player to its mid-volume point then adjust it as necessary to achieve an output volume consistent with the volume level of the G-DEK’s AM/FM radio. If the output from the media player sounds distorted, reduce its volume level until the distortion has gone.
• Aux 2: The auxiliary 2 input accepts low level audio from a
CD, DVD player, digital set top box or similar device. The left and right audio channels from the device should connect to the G-DEK’s left and right AUX 2 input leads. If the device is a DVD player or set top box, connect the video output from the device to the G-DEK’s video input lead. The G-DEK’s video output lead should be connected to the video input of a television or LCD monitor.
In this way, both video and audio from the device will be
selected automatically whenever the AUX 2 input is selected.
NOTE: For the Aux 1 input, GME offers a custom interface
cable for personal MP3 player connections; Part # LE68. When using this cable, it is necessary to use the functions on the portable device to control play.
MICROPHONE PA CONNECTION
The G-DEK accepts a microphone input via the 3.5 mm connector fly lead extending from the rear panel. This provides a Public Address (PA) function for making voice announcements over the speaker system and is useful in situations found in commercial vessels or public transport vehicles. A suitable plug-in microphone Part # LE68 is available through your GME dealer.
REMOTE HEAD CONNECTION
Up to two separate Remote Heads can be connected to the G-DEK to allow control from two separate locations. If connecting only one control head, it can be connected to either remote head socket.
LOW LEVEL OUTPUTS
The G-DEK provides low level audio outputs for both front and rear channels. These can be used to feed audio to a separate high powered amplifier system for installations that require increased output power.
SUB WOOFER OUTPUT
A Sub Woofer output allows the connection of a separate active Sub Woofer for superior bass response. If a Sub Woofer is connected the Sub Woofer output should be enabled through the ‘Sub Woofer’ option in the SEL menu.
RESET BUTTON
When the installation is complete, it is recommended to press the Reset Button using a paper clip or similar object (the reset button is under the lid to the right of the SD card slot). This will ensure the G-DEK is ready to operate for the first time. If at any time the controls do not seem to work (after replacing the vessel’s battery for example), press the Reset Button to reset the microcomputer inside the G-DEK.

PUBLIC ADDRESS (PA) SYSTEM
The G-DEK has a built-in Public Address (PA) system which can be used to make announcement over the speakers. This PA system is especially useful for G-DEK installations on commercial vessels or coaches.
The operation of the PA system requires the addition of an MC517BPA microphone. The microphone must be plugged into the rear Microphone input.
Operating the PA System
1. To make an announcement over the speakers, press the PTT button on the microphone. The current audio source will be muted and ‘MIC’ will appear on the display.
2. Hold the microphone 5 - 8 cm from your mouth and speak
across the microphone in a normal voice. Your voice will be heard in the speakers.
3. To control the microphone gain to the speakers, adjust the selector knob while speaking into the microphone. During this time ‘MIC-V’ will be displayed along with the selected microphone gain level. The microphone level is adjustable from ‘00’ (minimum) to ‘20’ (maximum).
NOTE: When the PTT is released, the adjusted microphone
gain setting will be stored for future PA announcements. The microphone gain setting is separate from the normal volume adjustment.
Preventing Audio Feedback when using the PA Mode
Setting the microphone gain too high may cause audio feedback resulting in a loud squeal in the speakers. If this happens, reduce the microphone gain until the squeal stops. To reduce audio feedback even further, it is recommended to position the speakers so that the sound is projected away from the microphone rather than towards it.
REMOTE CONTROL
The GME G-DEK includes a wireless remote control (RCU G-DEK). The remote control makes adjusting the G-DEK much easier, especially when selecting USB or SD card media files or viewing movies and pictures. The remote will permit the direct control of all major G-DEK functions from a distance of up to 3 metres.
Before initial operation:
1. Ensure the remote control sensor is connected to the G-DEK as shown in the connections diagram.
2. Ensure the battery is installed and any battery protection tab is removed from the battery compartment in the end of the remote handset.
Point the remote handset at the G-DEK remote sensor and select the required option on the keypad.
Cautions
• The remote control handset is not waterproof and should be
kept well away from water at all times.
• The remote control should not be left in direct sunlight for
prolonged periods, excessive sunlight and heat could cause damage to the keypad resulting in incorrect operation or non function.
The descriptions in the remote diagram have been colour coded to show which operating modes the various controls are most commonly associated with.
Page 26
G-DEK INSTRUCTION MANUAL PAGE 26
REMOTE CONTROL BATTERY
REPLACEMENT
Should the working range of the remote handset become reduced, or functions fail to operate correctly, the battery should be replaced:
1. Turn the remote over, insert a thumb nail between grooves on the battery cover latch and slide the lever to the right to pull out the battery tray.
2. Replace the battery, (type CR 2025 or equivalent), with the positive side facing upwards.
3. Slide the battery tray back into the handset.
