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

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.

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.

PAGE 6 INSTRUCTION MANUAL RC900BT
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
via the RC900BT, including the selection of albums
and songs. Access to displaying the iPod library
on the RC900BT is not available however the iPod
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.
