Remove the mounting bracket from the radio and drill the mounting holes. Bolt or screw the bracket in place using hardware suitable for the mounting surface. The unit is supplied with stainless steel screws; however, if the mounting surface is unsuitable for screws you may need to replace these with stainless steel bolts. Remember the fixings for overhead mounted units may have to withstand heavy pounding when the vessel is in rough water or being towed on a trailer.SELECTING A LOCATIONIt is advisable to spend a little time selecting the best location for your RM600D. The mounting bracket can be rotated above, below or behind the radio enabling the radio to be mounted in a wide range of locations. In addition, using the optional flush mounting kits (MK600, MK001, MK002) the RM600D can be mounted directly in a panel or dashboard. The flush mounting kits allow for installation or replacement of any existing VHF radio.REPLACING THE MICROPHONEIt is recommended that the microphone be left permanently connected to the RM600D, but if it must be disconnected, proceed as follows: 1. Insert a small screw driver between the rubber boot and the lip of the raised area on the front panel. 2. Ease the rubber boot out of the cable entry hole and slide it along the cable away from the front panel.

Identify the plug locking lever, work the screwdriver blade behind it and move the lever towards the plug body. At the same time gently pull the plug from the socket. (see diagram below).If required, replacement microphones are available with plug and rubber boot already fitted.WATER PROOFING CONNECTIONSAlthough the RM600D itself is designed to resist the ingress of water, the cable connectors are not completely waterproof. After installation, the speaker and remote connectors should be wrapped in waterproof tape or similar to minimise the risk of corrosion or water damage. Do not use normal electrical tape as this will not provide an adequate seal against water. The connectors should then be positioned where they are not directly exposed to the elements.GME limit this warranty to the original purchaser of the equipment.GME warrant the RM600D to be free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of twelve (12) months from the date of purchase from their authorised retailer.Should the product require servicing during this period, all labour and parts used to effect repairs will be supplied free of charge. GME reserve the right to determine whether damage has been occasioned by accident, misuse or improper installation whereby the warranty would be void, including equipment which has been damaged due to:(a) Incorrect or reverse polarity connection to a battery or power supply or to an incorrect supply voltage.(b) Operation of the main unit GX600 without an antenna or by connection to an antenna which has been incorrectly installed, resulting in damage to the radio’s output circuit.(c) Non-factory modifications.Procedure to be followed by Claimant: In the event of a defect occurring during the warranty period, the original purchaser may return the defective unit along with suitable proof of purchase date (i.e. receipt, docket, credit card slip etc.) and a full description of the defect to the retailer from whom the unit was purchased. All freight charges incurred for transportation by the retailer or GME are the purchaser’s responsibility.GME AFTER SALES SERVICEYour GME radio is especially designed for the environment encountered in marine installations. The use of all solid state circuitry, careful design and rigorous testing, result in high reliability. Should failure occur however, GME maintain a fully equipped service facility and spare parts stock to meet the customer’s requirements long after expiry of the warranty period.WARRANTYCableScrewdriverLocking Lever move to left to release PlugCable entry hole
