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 COMPACT 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.
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
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.

4. Bend the tabs to secure the frame in the recess.
5. Insert the RC900BT in the mounting frame.
6.Attach the support strap provided to the rear of the RC900BT and fastened strap to dash framework or added support.

7. Reattach the front panel surround.
ELECTRICAL WIRING
DC Connections
CAUTION: The RC900BT is designed for vehicles with a 12 V negative ground electrical system only!
Referring to the wiring diagram on this page:
1.Connect the YELLOW wire directly to the positive terminal of the vehicle’s battery, or to a point
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.
3.Connect the BLACK wire to the battery’s negative terminal or to the common negative bus in the electrical system.

BLUE ANTENNA AUTO
ANTENNA 12V+ OUT
NOTE: The blue wire on the wiring loom supplies 12 volts when the RC900BT is switched on and can be used to turn on an external device, like the GME
GA9800 amplifier.
Speaker Connections
When connecting the speakers, observe the correct polarity as shown in the diagram above. Incorrect polarity will result in a reduction of bass response and stereo effect. The use of speakers with an impedance of less that 4 Ohms is not recommended, as they will cause excessive loading of the RC900BT’s output circuit and may result in the radio overheating.
CAUTION: The RC900BT is a four-speaker system that requires 2 separate wires for each speaker.

A range of GME speakers are available from your local GME retailer.
Connect all four speakers as shown in the diagram above. 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 vehicle’s
12 volt or negative electrical Bus. If using only two speakers, adjust the Fader control to the rear speakers.
Antenna Connections
Connect an AM/FM antenna to the antenna socket extending from the rear of the RC900BT. For information on a suitable antenna, contact your nearest GME branch or marine retailer.
iPod Connectivity
The RC900BT has a white lead which, when connected with an LEO23 (optional 1.1 m lead), enables an iPod to be connected directly to the stereo. Limited functions of the iPod can be accessed

library and all functions can be viewed on the iPod.
Microphone
The RC900BT has a built-in microphone for use when making and receiving phone calls via Bluetooth. In situations where the RC900BT is installed too far from the driver for optimal voice pickup, an external microphone is also included for installation closer to the driving position. The
external microphone plugs into the blue socket on the RC900BT’s rear cable assembly.
