INTRODUCTION
Your GME TX3500 80 channel radio is Australian designed
and built and is the most advanced UHF Citizen Band
radio available.
The TX3500 combines the very latest in electronic hardware
with the most up-to-date computer aided design and
manufacturing techniques to produce an extremely compact
mobile radio with outstanding specifications and performance.
The TX3500 is designed for unobtrusive mounting in modern
vehicles. With its built-in loud speaker and extremely small size
the TX3500 can be mounted in almost any convenient location.

TX3500 INSTRUCTION MANUAL PAGE 3
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The use of the Citizen Band radio service is licensed in
Australia by the ACMA Radio communications (Citizens
Band Radio Stations) Class Licence and in New Zealand by
the Ministry of Economic Development New Zealand (MED).
A General User Radio Licence for Citizens Band radio and
operation is subject to conditions contained in those licences.
The class licence for users and equipment operating in the
CB/PRS 477 MHz band has been amended. This radio meets
the new 80 channel standard.
In simple terms the same amount of spectrum is available;
however, radio transceivers can now operate in a narrower
bandwidth and hence use less spectrum. These radios are
generally referred to as narrowband or 12.5 kHz radios. By
using 12.5 kHz channel spacing instead of 25 kHz, the 40
channels originally allocated can now be expanded to 80
channels thereby doubling the channel capacity and relieving
congestion in the UHF CB/PRS band.
Original 40 channel wideband Radios will continue to operate
on the original 40 channels, however they will not be able
to converse on the newer channels 41 – 80. The newer
narrowband radios will be able to converse with all older 40
channel wideband radios on all channels 1 to 40 as well as the
newer channels allocated from 41 to 80.
The mixing of narrowband and wideband radios in the
same spectrum can cause some possible operating issues of
interference and varying levels of received volume.
POSSIBLE ISSUES
The mixing of narrowband and wideband radios in the
same spectrum can cause some possible operating issues of
interference and differences in levels of received volume.
When a new narrowband radio receives a transmission from an
older wideband radio the speech may sound loud and distorted
– simply adjust your radio volume for best performance.
When an older wideband radio receives a signal from a new
narrowband radio, the speech may sound quiet –– simply
adjust your radio volume for best performance.
Depending on how close your receiving radio is to another
transmitting radio, there can be interference from the
transmitting radio if it is using a channel adjacent to the
channel you are listening to. Simply try moving up or down a
few channels from the currently selected channel.
The above situations are not a fault of the radio but a normal
symptom of operating wideband and narrowband radios in the
same bandwidth. This possible interference will decrease over
time as the population of wideband radios operating in the
UHF CB band ages and decreases.
Further information and updates are available from the
Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) at
www.acma.gov.au and the Ministry of Economic Development
(MED) Radio Spectrum Management at: www.rsm.govt.nz
EMERGENCY CHANNELS
The ACMA has allocated channels 5/35 for emergency use
only. Channel 5 is the primary Simplex Emergency Channel.
Where a Channel 5 repeater is available, you should select
Duplex on CH 5.
NOTE: Channel 35 is the input channel for the Channel 5
repeater therefore Channel 35 should also not be used for
anything other than emergency transmissions.
TELEMETRY CHANNELS
ACMA regulations have allocated channels 22 and 23
for telemetry only applications and have prohibited the
transmission of speech on these channels. Consequently the
TX3500 has a transmit inhibit applied to channels 22 and
23. In the event additional telemetry/telecommand channels
are approved by the ACMA, these channels shall be added to
those currently listed where voice transmission is inhibited.
Currently transmissions on channels 61, 62 and 63 are also
inhibited and these channels are reserved for future allocation.

GENERAL OPERATION
VOLUME
Rotate the Volume control clockwise past the ‘click’ to turn
the TX3500 on. Rotate the control further clockwise to increase
the volume, or counter clockwise to decrease the volume.
If no sound is heard, briefly press the SQL key to temporarily
un-mute the radio then adjust the volume while listening to
the background noise. When finished, briefly press the SQL
key again to re-mute the radio.
NOTE: At the minimum volume setting there is still sufficient
volume to be heard in a quiet cabin environment.
SELECTING CHANNELS
Select the required channel by rotating the Channel knob.
Rotate the knob clockwise to select higher channel and
counter clockwise to select lower channels. The selected
channel is displayed on the LCD.
SQUELCH
The squelch is used to eliminate any annoying background
noise when there are no signals present. The squelch can
be opened or closed using the SQL key. When the squelch
is open the receiver’s background noise can be heard and

TX3500 INSTRUCTION MANUAL PAGE 5
the symbol is displayed. When the squelch is closed the
receiver remains quiet while there are no signals present but
any incoming signals will override the squelch and be heard in
the speaker.
To open the squelch
Briefly press the SQL key. A low beep will be heard and the
symbol will be displayed. If there are no signals present you
will hear the receiver’s background noise.
To close the squelch
Briefly press the SQL key. A high beep will be heard. If there
are no signals present the symbol will disappear and the
receiver will become quiet again.
Adjusting the squelch level
The TX3500’s default squelch sensitivity level has been factory
set to provide optimum performance under most operating
conditions. If required, the sensitivity level can be adjusted to
suit changing conditions.
To adjust the squelch sensitivity, briefly press the Channel
knob. The channel display will show the current squelch
setting in values from 1 - 9. A squelch setting of -1 allows the
squelch to open on very weak signals whereas a setting of
-9 requires much stronger signals to overcome the squelch.
Rotate the Channel knob to change the squelch setting.
Press the Channel knob to accept the setting and return
to normal operation.

SIGNAL METER
The signal meter
indicates the relative signal strength of the
incoming signal. Stronger incoming signals will display more
bars while weaker signals will display less bars.
TRANSMITTING
Prior to transmitting, always check the channel is not being
used. This can be done either by listening or by checking that
the signal meter
and the ‘BUSY’ icon is not visible.
To transmit, press the PTT switch on the microphone. The
icon will appear. Hold the microphone about 5-8 cm from
your face and speak at a normal voice level. The microphone
is quite sensitive so it is not necessary to raise your voice or
shout. Release the PTT when you have finished talking. The
icon will disappear.
IMPORTANT: Always listen to ensure the channel is free
before transmitting.
TIME-OUT TIMER
Your TX3500 has an in-built Time-Out Timer (TOT) that limits
transmissions to a maximum of 3 minutes of continuous
operation. This feature is required by the ACMA to prevent the
radio from jamming the frequency if the PTT switch has been
accidentally jammed. Once the TOT is triggered the radio will
beep once and the transmitter output will be switched off. If
the PTT remains pressed, the transmit icon will remain
visible but there will be no signal transmitted from the radio.
Once the PTT switch has been released the TOT is reset and
transmissions can recommence.
BACKLIGHTING
The Liquid Crystal Display and keys are back lit for easy
viewing at night. The back lighting remains on at while the
TX3500 is switched ON.
Adjusting the backlighting
The backlighting brightness and colour can be adjusted for
personal preference. There are three settings available;
br’ - Brightness Setting: Provides a continuously variable
brightness adjustment from very dim to full brightness.
‘cL’ - Colour Setting: Provides a continuously variable colour
change via a smooth blend of Red, Green and Blue
colours.
‘Li’ - Lightness Setting: Provides a continuously variable light-
ness or colour saturation of the selected colour from full
colour to white (no colour).
To make adjustments to the backlighting, press and hold the
Channel knob for several seconds. ‘br’ is displayed indicating
the Brightness mode is selected.
Briefly press the Channel knob to step through the available
settings. ‘br’ (brightness), ‘cl’ (colour) or ‘Li’ (lightness) will be
displayed at each press.
To adjust the current selection, rotate the Channel knob left
or right.
When finished, press and hold the Channel knob to return to
normal operation.
TIP: For the deepest colour range, reduce the lightness
‘Li’ setting.
NOTE: The back light setting function will automatically time
out after 6 seconds if no further adjustments have been made.
BANDWIDTH FILTER SETTINGS
The TX3500 is fitted with two user-selectable receiver
bandwidth filters which allow the receiver to be adjusted for
either wide or narrow band reception on channels 1 – 40. This
feature provides additional compatibility with older 40-channel
radios. The wide setting increases the tolerance of the TX3500
receiver to older wideband 40 channel radios or to signals that
might be slightly off frequency. The narrow setting increases
the selectivity of the receiver to help reduce interference from
strong interfering signals on adjacent channels.
TO CHANGE THE FILTER SETTING
1. Switch the radio OFF.
2. Press and hold the Channel knob while switching the
radio ON.
3. Release the Channel knob. ‘FL’ will be displayed along
with two signal meter bars. The spacing of the signal

TX3500 INSTRUCTION MANUAL PAGE 7
meter bars indicates the bandwidth setting. A narrow
space indicates a narrow-band setting while a wide space
indicates a wide-band setting.
Wide Band Setting
Narrow Band Setting
4. To change the setting, rotate the Channel knob left or
right. The signal bars will change to show the selected
bandwidth.
5. To return to normal operation, switch the radio OFF then
ON again (or wait a few seconds for the function to
time-out).
NOTE: The wideband filter selection only operates on
channels 1-40. Channels 41-80 always remains narrowband.
DYNAMIC VOLUME CONTROL (DVC)
The modulation level of signals heard on the UHF CB band has
always varied considerably resulting in noticeable differences
in received audio volume between stations. Generally users
have compensated for this by adjusting the volume control
for each received signal. With the introduction of 80 channel
narrowband transmissions that use lower levels of modulation,
the diversity in received audio volume is likely to increase
further.
The TX3500 is able to automatically compensate for these
variations in received audio level by utilising a Dynamic
Volume Control. When activated, this feature automatically
compensates for variations in received audio level resulting
in a constant audio output level to the speaker to greatly
enhance the quality of the reception.
To switch the Dynamic Volume Control ON or OFF
1. Switch the radio OFF.
2. Press and hold the
PRI key while switching the radio ON.
3. A high beep indicates the DVC is switched ON while a low
beep indicates the DVC is OFF.
REPEATERS AND DUPLEX MODE
Duplex operation allows the radio to transmit on a different
frequency to that which it receives. This allows operation
through repeater stations.
A repeater station consists of a linked transmitter/receiver
combination installed in a prominent location. The repeater
is designed to receive signals on a designated channel and
retransmit them on another channel. Repeaters are usually
mounted on hills or tall buildings. The increased elevation
greatly improves both the receiving and transmitting range of
the repeater allowing it to receive and retransmit signals to
radios that would otherwise be out of range of each other.
Normally, UHF radios transmit and receive on the same
frequency - known as Simplex operation. However to
communicate through repeaters, your radio must be able to
transmit and receive on different channels – otherwise known
as Duplex operation. Your TX3500 is fitted with a Duplex key
to allow you to operate through repeaters.
The Duplex function can only be selected on channels 1-8 and
41-48 as these are the channels that have been allocated for
repeater use. When Duplex is selected, your TX3500 receives
on the selected channel (e.g. CH 1) but transmits 30 channels
higher (CH 31). The repeater hears your signal on CH 31 and
retransmits it on CH 1 for others to hear.

PAGE 8 INSTRUCTION MANUAL TX3500
The TX3500 allows you to enable or disable Duplex mode
on individual repeater channels. In this way any repeater
channels that are not being used with repeaters in your area
can be used in Simplex mode for normal direct radio-to-radio
communications.
To enable Duplex on a Repeater channel
1. Select the required repeater channel (1–8, 41–48)
2. Briefly press the DUP key. The duplex symbol will
appear on the display accompanied by a high beep.
To remove Duplex from a Repeater channel
1. Select the required repeater channel (1-8, 41-48). If duplex
is currently selected, the duplex symbol will appear.
2. Briefly press the DUP key. The duplex symbol will
disappear from the display accompanied by a low beep.
PRIORITY CHANNEL
The Priority channel feature allows you to instantly recall any
one of the 80 channels in the TX3500. This feature can be
used to provide instant access to your working channel or
your local repeater channel at the press of key. It is also used
in conjunction with the Group Scan mode.
To store a Priority channel
1. Select the required channel.
2. Press and hold the PRI key. The channel number will flash
then a high beep will be heard as the channel is stored.
To recall a Priority channel
1. Briefly press the PRI key.
2. The TX3500 will immediately switch to the Priority channel
and the PRI icon will be displayed.
3. To return to the previously selected channel press the PRI
key again. The PRI icon will disappear and the radio will
return to the previously selected channel.
SCANNING
The TX3500 incorporates a scan function that allows a
selected group of channels to be scanned for activity. Channels
are scanned at a rate of 20 channels per second. If a signal is
detected on a channel, the scan will pause to allow the signal
to be heard. Once the channel has been clear for 5 seconds
the scan will resume.
Scan Groups
The TX3500 supports 2 scan groups: Open Scan and Group Scan.
Open Scan allows a group of channels to be scanned in an
ascending sequence. If a signal is found, the scan will pause on
that channel. During this time you can press the PTT switch on
the microphone and talk on the channel. Once the channel has
been clear for 5 seconds the scan will resume.
Example: Scanning channels 1 – 8 in Open Scan
1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - 8

* Emergency channel only

TX3500 INSTRUCTION MANUAL PAGE 9
Group Scan allows you to transmit and receive on your
priority channel, but during periods of inactivity, the radio will
also scan a group of other channels. Signals received on the
Priority channel will have precedence over those received on
the other channels. Similarly, pressing the PTT while scanning
will cause the radio to revert to the priority channel. Once the
Priority channel has been clear for 5 seconds the scan will resume.
Example: Scanning channels 1 – 8 with priority
channel 20 in Group Scan
1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 20 - 5 - 6 - 7 - 8 - 20
Selecting a Scan Group
1. Turn the TX3500 off.
2. Hold the SCAN key while turning the TX3500 on again.
3. Release the SCAN key. The display will show ‘OS’ for Open
Scan or ‘GS’ for Group Scan.
4. Rotate the Channel switch one click left or right to
change the scan group.
5. Switch the radio OFF then ON again to resume normal
operation.
To add or remove channels from the scan memory
1. Check that the radio isn’t already scanning. If it is, briefly
press the SCAN key to cancel the scan.
2. Select the required channel.
3. Check to see if the scan symbol is displayed on
that channel.
I. If is displayed, the selected channel is already in the
scan memory. Press and hold the SCAN key to remove it.
The scan symbol will disappear.
II.If is not displayed, the selected channel is not in the
scan memory. Press and hold the SCAN key to add the
selected channel to the scan memory. The scan symbol
will now be displayed on that channel.
Scanning in Open Scan mode
Briefly press the SCAN key. A high beep will be heard and the
scan symbol will animate. During this time the channel
numbers will scroll rapidly as the channels are scanned.
NOTE: If there are less than 2 channels programmed into the
scan memory when you press SCAN, a low beep will sound
and the command will be ignored.
If a busy channel is located, the scan will pause to allow you
to hear the signal but will continue to animate on the
display to indicate that the scan function is still active. Once
the channel has been clear for 5 seconds, the scan will resume.
If you don’t wish to listen to a busy channel you can skip over
it by rotating the Channel knob. Scanning will resume at the
next available channel in memory.
Default working channel in Open Scan mode
In the Open Scan mode, your default working channel is the
channel your radio switches to when you press the PTT while
scanning. To define your working channel simply select the
required channel before you press the SCAN key. E.g. to make
channel 24 your working channel, simply select channel 24
before pressing the SCAN key.
To talk on your working channel while scanning, simply press
the PTT. The scan will pause and your radio will switch to
your working channel allowing you to transmit and receive on
that channel. Once your communication has finished and the
channel has been clear for 5 seconds, scanning will resume.
If your radio pauses on a busy channel
other than your working
channel and you wish to talk on that channel, simply press the
PTT during a break in the conversation. The busy channel now
becomes your new working channel, replacing your previous
working channel. Once your communication has finished
and the channel has been clear for 5 seconds, scanning will
resume.
Scanning in Group Scan mode
Group Scan mode is slightly different to Open Scan mode
in that the Group Scan allows you to communicate on your
Priority channel while continuing to scan a number of other
channels. The receiver will scan the other channels ONLY
WHILE THERE ARE NO SIGNALS ON THE PRIORITY CHANNEL.
Signals being received on the Priority channel it will override
any signals being received on any of the other channels. In
addition, if you press the PTT at any time the radio will always
transmit on the Priority channel.

PAGE 10 INSTRUCTION MANUAL TX3500
Setting up Group Scan
1. See the ‘Selecting a Scan Group’ section on page 9 to
select the Group Scan mode.
2. Store your preferred Priority channel as outlined above
under ‘Priority Channel’ on page 8.
3. Program the required ‘other’ channels into the scan group
memory as described above under ‘To add or remove
channels from the scan memory’ on page 9.
To Scan in the Group Scan mode, briefly press the SCAN
key. A high beep will be heard and the scan symbol
will animate. During this time the channel numbers will scroll
rapidly as the selected channels are scanned with the Priority
channel being scanned every fourth channel.
If a signal appears on the Priority channel – at any time – the
radio will switch directly to the Priority channel and 3 short
beeps will be heard. The radio will now stay on the Priority
channel for as long as the channel remains busy. During this
time you can transmit and receive on the Priority channel in
the usual way. Once the Priority channel has been clear for 5
seconds the radio will resume scanning the other channels.
If a signal appears on one of the other channels, scanning
will pause on that channel and will remain there while the
channel is busy – as long as there are no signals on the
Priority channel. During this time, the receiver will continue to
check the Priority channel every 2 seconds resulting in a series
of small breaks in the reception of the busy channel. Once the
signal has gone and there has been no activity on any channel
for 5 seconds, the radio will resume scanning.
To transmit on the Priority channel at any time, simply press
the PTT. The radio will switch straight to the priority channel.
When you have finished your conversation and there has
been no further activity for 5 seconds, the radio will resume
scanning the other channels.
If the scan pauses on a busy channel and you don’t wish to
listen to that conversation, rotate the Channel knob and the
radio will skip that channel and resume scanning.
If the radio is paused on a busy channel and you want to
remain there, briefly press the SCAN key. The radio will exit
scan and remain on the bust channel. At this point you will no
longer be monitoring the priority channel.
To resume scanning press the SCAN key again. To exit the
scan mode and go directly to the Priority channel at any time,
press the PRI key.
Scan Group options
By default your TX3500 has one Open Scan mode and one
Group Scan mode. There may be applications where you
have no need to monitor a Priority channel and would prefer
to have two separate Open Scan modes. Alternately you
may prefer to have two separate Group Scan modes with
different scan or priority channels in each. Your TX3500 can
be programmed to convert the Group Scan into an Open Scan
and vice versa. If this is required, please contact your GME
retailer to arrange for this feature to be activated.
When two Open Scan or two Group Scan modes are enabled,
the Scan Group selection screen will display O1 and O2 for the
Open Scan groups or G1 and G2 for the Group Scan groups.
See the section ‘Selecting a Scan Group’ on page 9.
NOTE: Enabling or disabling the second Open or Group
Scan mode is not a user selectable option. Once enabled or
disabled, the new Scan mode becomes a permanent part of
your radio’s features. If you decide later that you need the
original Scan mode settings restored you will need to return
your radio to your GME retailer for re-programming.
CTCSS & DCS
CTCSS (Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System)
CTCSS is a squelch quieting system that allows several groups
of users to share the same channel without disturbing each
other. It uses one of a set of sub-audible (very low frequency)
tones to open and close the squelch on your radio.
There are two CTCSS tone sets, one comprising 50 tones and
the other comprising 38 tones. Both tone sets are installed in
the TX3500 to ensure compatibility with other radio systems.
The 50 tone set contains all of the tones in the 38 tone set
plus 12 additional tones. For more details, see CTCSS Tone
Frequency Chart at the back of this manual.
To toggle between the 50 and 38 tone sets
1. Switch the radio OFF.
2. Press and hold the DUP key while switching the radio ON.

TX3500 INSTRUCTION MANUAL PAGE 11
3. 50 or 38 will be displayed indicating the currently selected
tone set.
4. Rotate the Channel knob one click left or right to change
the selection.
5. Switch the radio OFF then on again to store your selection
and return to normal operation.
NOTE: When switching upwards from the 38 tone set to the
50 tone set, the radio will retain the currently selected CTCSS
tone frequency but will update the associated tone set number
to reflect its new position in the 50 tone set table.
e.g. CTCSS tone #36 (233.6 Hz) in the 38 tone set table
changes to tone #47 when the 50 tone set is selected.
When switching downwards from 50 to 38 tones, if there is
no equivalent CTCSS tone frequency in the 38 tone set table,
the CTCSS tone will be set to OFF and you will need to reselect
a new tone.
DCS (Digitally Coded Squelch)
DCS is a Squelch quieting system similar to CTCSS that uses
low frequency digital signals instead of a continuous low
frequency tone. As with CTCSS, it also allows several user
groups to share the same channels without disturbing each
other. There are 104 DCS codes available. See DCS Tone Chart
at the back of this manual.
Choosing CTCSS or DCS
Choosing which tone system and frequency to use will largely
depend on the other radios you talk to. If you talk to others
outside your group who already use CTCSS or DCS tones, you
will need to select the tone system and frequency that matches
theirs. The TX3500 includes most of the commonly used
tone sets.
If the users you talk to don’t currently use CTCSS or DCS,
then you can make your own choice. There is no difference in
performance or function between the different tone sets.
NOTE: The tone you select will be used for all channels that
have ‘Silent’ enabled.
To select a CTCSS or DCS tone
1. Switch the radio Off.
2. Press and hold the SQL key while switching the radio ON
again.
3. The currently selected tone number will be displayed along
with a flashing icon in the lower right corner. A flashing
icon indicates a CTCSS tone is displayed while a flashing
icon indicates a DCS tone is displayed.
4. Rotate the Channel knob left or right to select the
required CTCSS or DCS tone. Rotating towards the right
will advance through the available CTCSS tones. Continue
rotating past the last CTCSS tone to access DCS tones.
To switch the CTCSS/DCS tones off, rotate the knob all the
way to the left until ‘OF’ is displayed.
5. Once the required setting has been selected, switch the
radio OFF then ON again to save the setting and restore
normal operation.
Enabling CTCSS/DCS on a channel (Silent mode)
When ‘Silent’ mode is enabled on a channel, the CTCSS/DCS
system will prevent the Squelch on your radio from opening
unless the incoming signal matches your selected CTCSS/DCS
tone. If other users are using the same channel but are not
using your selected CTCSS/DCS tone, the busy icon will
appear on the display indicating the signal is being received,
however no sound will be heard in the speaker. Only when
someone transmits on the channel using your selected
CTCSS/DCS tone will the squelch open to allow you to hear
the signal.
Silent mode can be enabled on any channel you choose
(except emergency channel 5/35).

To enable Silent mode on a Channel:
1. Select the required channel.
2. Press and hold the SQL key until a high beep is heard.
3. An icon (CTCSS) or icon (DCS) will be displayed in
the lower right of the display to indicate Silent mode is now
enabled on that channel.
NOTE: If the CTCSS/DCS tone in your radio has been set to Of
you will not be able to enable Silent mode.
To disable Silent mode on a Channel:
1. Select the required channel. An icon (CTCSS) or icon
(DCS) will be displayed indicating Silent mode is currently
enabled on that channel.
2. Press and hold the SQL key until a low beep is heard.
3. The or icon will disappear indicating Silent mode is
now disabled on that channel.
IMPORTANT: When Silent mode is enabled on a channel, you
should always check the busy icon for signs of traffic on the
channel before you transmit to ensure you do not accidentally
transmit over the top of another user.
Monitor Function
If the busy icon shows that the channel is busy, but you
cannot hear any sound, the signal is probably using a different
CTCSS/DCS tone to yours.
If you wish to listen to the signal to confirm that someone else
is using the channel, press and hold the Volume knob. This
activates the ‘monitor’ function which temporarily disables
the CTCSS/DCS system in your radio to allow the signal to be
heard in the speaker. When the Volume knob is released the
channel will become quiet again.
RECEIVING (RX) ONLY CHANNELS
The radio includes support for up to 19 RX-only dealer
programmable frequencies in the range of 403-520MHz.
RX-only channels, when installed, can be found above
channel 80.
INSTALLATION
The TX3500 is supplied with a slim, slide on mounting cradle.
The cradle can be screwed or bolted to any convenient
location in your vehicle (under or above the dash, on the
centre console, etc.) using the mounting slots provided in the
cradle. The TX3500 contains a built-in speaker and should
be installed in a convenient location in the vehicle’s cabin
using the mounting slots provided in the base. For maximum
sound from the internal speaker, we recommend the cradle be
mounted above the radio to minimise any obstruction of the
speaker. Alternatively the TX3500 can be installed in a less
audible location and an extension speaker used instead. When
installing the radio, avoid mounting it close to heaters or air
conditioners.
Console Mounting
A flush mounting DIN adapter MBD001 is available as an
optional accessory. The adapter includes mounting brackets
and a specially designed front panel escutcheon to suit most
vehicle installations. See your nearest GME retailer for details.
Din Adapter MBD001
When Installing the Cradle
Avoid mounting close to heaters or air conditioners. Screw
the mounting cradle to a firm surface and slide the TX3500
into the cradle from the front until it clicks into place. Finally,
connect the power lead and antenna cable to the sockets on
the radio’s rear panel.

TX3500 INSTRUCTION MANUAL PAGE 13
Mounting the Cradle
Fitting the Radio
Slide radio fully into cradle until it clicks into place.
Removing the Radio
Fitting the Microphone
The microphone uses a miniature 6 pin telephone style plug
which fits the TX3500’s microphone socket. The TX3500
has two microphone sockets – one on the front panel and
one on the rear panel. The microphone can be plugged into
either socket. If connecting the microphone to the rear socket,
an optional extension cable LEM6P is available to bring the
microphone connection to a more accessible location.
To fit the Microphone: Front
1. The front microphone cover is a press fit. To remove, simply
insert the end of a paper clip or similar into the small slot in
the edge of the cover and lift the cover away from the panel.
2. Place the microphone plug so the plastic tab faces
downwards, then press plug into the socket until it ‘clicks’.
3. Gently press the rubber strain relief into the hole
surrounding the socket so that the slot around the strain
relief fits neatly inside the lip of the hole.
Lift panel here

PAGE 14 INSTRUCTION MANUAL TX3500
Rear
1. The rear microphone cover hinges from the top. Simply lift
the cover from the bottom. The cover will remain connected
to the chassis.
2. Place the microphone plug so the plastic tab faces down-
wards, and press the plug into the socket until it ‘clicks’.
Removing the Microphone
1. For front panel connections, squeeze the rubber strain relief
near the front panel to disengage the slot, and slide the
strain relief back along the microphone cord.
2. Squeeze the plastic tab on the microphone plug towards
the plug to unlock it while gently pulling the plug
outwards. If the plug does not come out easily, the tab has
not released correctly and should be squeezed again.
DC POWER CONNECTION
The TX3500 is designed for 13.8 Volt DC, negative earth
installations only (i.e. where the negative terminal of the
battery is connected to the chassis or frame of the vehicle).
There are two recommended methods of installation.
Radio Remains ON when the Ignition Switch is OFF
Connect the radio’s negative (black) lead to the vehicle’s
chassis, or if preferred, directly to the battery’s negative
terminal. The radio’s positive (red) lead should be connected
via the 2 Amp fuse to the battery’s positive terminal.
Alternatively, the positive lead could be connected into the
fuse box at a point that has +13.8 Volts continuously available
(on the battery side of the ignition switch) via the 2 Amp fuse.

accessory point in the vehicle’s fuse box via the 2 Amp fuse.
This point should supply +13.8 Volts only when the ignition
switch is turned ON or in the ACCESSORY position via the
2 Amp fuse.

TX3500 INSTRUCTION MANUAL PAGE 15
HIGH VOLTAGE WARNING
The TX3500 has a built-in, high voltage detection system
to warn you if an overvoltage situation occurs. If the power
supply voltage exceeds 18 Volts DC, the channel display will
flash ‘hi dc’ for 5 seconds when the unit is first turned on, or
at the time the voltage exceeds 18 Volts. In addition, when
transmitting, the TX indicator will flash and the transmitter will
select low output power.
If the overvoltage warning appears you should switch your
TX3500 OFF and disconnect it from the power source, before
locating the cause of the trouble.
Once the High Voltage warning has been triggered, and you
have fixed the source of the problem, you will need to switch
the TX3500 OFF then ON again to reset it.
The power source must not exceed 30 Volts.
ANTENNA CONNECTION
It is essential to select a good quality, high efficiency, 477
MHz antenna. A poor quality antenna or one not designed for
the specific frequency band you are using will give very poor
performance.
GME have a wide range of suitable 477 MHz UHF CB
antennas to suit most installations and applications. We
recommend contacting your local GME retailer for advice.
Connect to the antenna cable to the rear antenna socket using
a PL259 coaxial connector.
NOISE SUPPRESSION
The inherent design of FM transceivers results in a high level
of resistance to ignition and electrical interference. However
in some installations it may be necessary to take additional
steps to help reduce or eliminate noise interference. During
installation, try to route the DC battery leads, the antenna lead
or any accessory wires away from the engine compartment,
ignition or alternator wiring. If the noise continues, it may be
necessary to fit a suppression kit in which case we recommend
you consult an auto electrician for advice specific to your
installation.
Higher frequency electrical interference cause by electric
motors can be suppressed directly at the motor terminals.
