INSTALLATION
PRECAUTIONS
If you are connecting your RC900BT for the first
time or have just reconnected your vehicle battery
and you are experiencing problems with the unit’s
operation, we suggest you try resetting the unit. The
reset button is located on the front panel below the
Volume control. Gently press the reset button with
a paper clip or similar object.
The preset station memories and clock time are
retained only while the yellow ‘Memory’ lead
is connected to a continuous + 12 V DC supply
(see Electrical Wiring section). If the battery is
disconnected or switched off at the master switch,
or the unit is removed from the vehicle, the station
memories will be lost and the clock will need to
be reset.
HANDLING COMPA CT DISCS
• Handle the CD by it’s edge, avoid touching the
disc surface.
• Store your CDs away from direct sunlight or heat
sources. Keeping the CD in it’s original case will
help to keep it flat.
• Clean the CD with a soft cloth from the centre
to the outer edge, (see diagram) rather than in a
circular motion.
Do not use solvents.
correctly. Simply eject the CD and leave the unit
turned on for a while until the moisture evaporates.
NOTE: The RC900BT should not be mounted
at angles greater than 30° above or below the
horizontal.
LOCATION
GME recommends that the unit should be mounted
in a position that is free from direct sunlight and
excessive vibration.
INSTALLING RC900BT INTO A DIN
SIZED RECESS
The RC900BT is designed to be installed with the
mounting accessories provided.
1. Remove the front panel surround.
2. Insert release keys between the RC900BT and
the DIN sized mounting frame, so that the
locking tabs on the mount frame are released.
Remove the RC900BT from the mounting frame.
3. Insert the mounting frame into the DIN sized
recess.
MOISTURE/CONDENSATION
Your RC900BT 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

that has +12 volts available at all times. This lead
maintains the memories within the RC900BT and
is the main power source for the unit.
2. Connect the RED wire to the vehicle’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 RC900BT switched ON and OFF
using it’s own controls.
