INTRODUCTION

The W1 wireless remote control is designed to reproduce many of the functions of
a standard hand held microphone using wireless technology. The W1 combines a
remote Push-To-Talk (PTT) with a user-selectable channel change or scan/priority
function in a convenient remote mounted unit.

An external remote microphone is also included for mounting in your vehicle
allowing effective hands-free communications while driving.

Once the W1 is connected to your radio, several new options will be enabled in
your radio’s menu (see ‘RADIO MENU OPTIONS’).

Range

The W1 has a line-of-sight range of around 5 – 7 meters depending on the
installation. Range may be reduced slightly if the radio or the W1 is mounted close
to metal surfaces. This should not have any noticeable effect on most installations,
however, if mounting the remote unit in a bus, motor home or other similar sized
vehicle please be aware of the range performance when planning your installation.

MOUNTING

The W1 can be mounted directly to the steering wheel using the included steering
wheel mounting clamp. Alternatively it can be installed on any flat surface using
double sided tape.

NOTE: Installing onto a metallic surface will reduce the signal range.

INSTALLATION

Steering Wheel Mount

The steering wheel mount is designed to
clamp on to the steering wheel in a position
where the W1 can be easily reached
without distraction while driving.

Temporarily place the W1 into the top
clamp then place the top clamp on the
steering wheel at the preferred location.
Rotate the W1 to the desired angle, then
turn the clamp over and secure the W1
using the two screws provided. The clamp has
a number of holes and slots to allow the remote
control to be rotated and secured at almost any angle.

position and fit the two M4 bolts. Tighten firmly so that the clamp does not
move when the buttons are pressed. Do not over tighten.

NOTE: If the M4 bolts provided are too short for your steering wheel, they can

be replaced with M4 bolts of a suitable length obtained from your local hardware
store. Ensure the bolt lengths are not too long, otherwise they may foul on the

back cover.

For mounting onto larger steering wheels, a spacer kit is provided which
includes two spacers of varying thickness and longer 30mm M4 bolts. If
required, fit one or more spacers between the front and rear clamp as shown
then tighten firmly using the longer bolts.

as required

To avoid personal injury, DO NOT install the remote control
on any surface associated with your vehicle’s airbag.

The adhesive foam is in two sections and is designed to
align with the rear mounting holes and the battery cover.
To aid in accurately fitting the adhesive foam, proceed
as follows;

1. Starting at the top, fold the backing sheet away from the
top half of the adhesive foam. Leave the backing sheet
attached to the bottom half of the adhesive.

2. With the Remote Unit’s GME label at the top, position
the sticky side of the adhesive foam onto the back of
the Remote Unit, aligning the screw holes and battery
compartment with the matching section on the adhesive
foam. Press the foam firmly into position.
