INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on purchasing this GME fully featured VHF Marine radio. Your GX660 has been built to offer excellent value by combining advanced features, great design and manufacturing quality. To ensure you are familiar with the operation and features of your radio and in order to obtain the best performance, please read this manual thoroughly before operation.

ALWAYS: switch off your radio where notices restrict the use of two-way radio or mobile telephones. AVOID: storing or charging your radio in direct sunlight. AVOID: storing or using your radio where temperatures are below -15 C or above +55 C.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Please read through this manual before the first operation. If you have any questions, please contact GME service or your local dealer. Extensive exposure to heat may result in damage to the radio. Connection to the power source with reversed polarity will damage the radio severely. This damage is not covered by the warranty. Do not disassemble. Avoid overheating which may cause loss of contrast and in extreme cases, a darkening of the screen. Problems which occur from over heating are reversible when the temperature decreases.

WATERPROOF (IPX7)
The GX660 is waterproof and meets IPX7 rating (see www2. gme.net.au/IPRatings for standards chart). However, if the GX660 is dropped, waterproofing cannot be guaranteed due to the fact that damage to the external chassis may occur.

ANTENNA AND BATTERY PACK

Make sure the flexible antenna and battery pack are securely attached to the GX660 and that the antenna and battery pack are dry before attachment. Exposing the inside of the GX660 to water will result in serious damage to the radio.

OPERATOR QUALIFICATIONS
Any person in Australia operating a VHF marine radio should possess at least a Marine Radio Operators VHF Certificate of Proficiency (MROVCP). Alternatively, operators may obtain a Marine Radio Operators Certificate of Proficiency (MROCP), which covers the operation of both VHF and MF/ HF equipment. Many TAFEs and marine organisations offer courses leading to examination for the MROVCP and MROCP although such courses are not compulsory. Persons wishing to obtain the MROVCP or MROCP should first purchase a copy of the Maritime Radio Operator Handbook which is essential reading for every boat owner in Australia. The Australian Maritime College (AMC) provides the marine examination and certificate service on behalf of the ACMA. The AMC can provide the details of organisations and individuals offering courses and/or conducting exams. For further information visit: www.amc.edu.au

Battery Options
The GX660 comes with a Li-Ion (Lithium Ion) rechargeable battery. The GX660 battery pack will provide convenient, long life service, and will operate your radio for approximately 12 hours on a single charge. The length of service depends largely on how much time you spend transmitting, and what transmit power you use. Charging A feature of the Li-Ion pack is that you can recharge at any time. The standard charger will completely recharge the GX660 battery pack in approximately 12 hours. The GX660 radio can be used with the charger attached or removed. The GX660 will not be damaged by extended charge times. When the radio is connected to the charger and power is present, the LED on the outside of the charger will be red. When battery is fully charged the LED will turn to green. NOTE: The battery charger does not act as a primary power source. 1.  If the PTT key is pressed when the battery level is low, the first transmission will be allowed and an error tone will be heard and LOW BAT will be displayed. After that, no further transmissions will be allowed until the battery is recharged. Battery pack assembling instructions When you insert the battery pack, make sure you follow the directions on page 18. Otherwise, the radio will not work.

1. If the radio was scanning, the scanning will pause. 2.  If radio was in Dual Watch Mode, the Dual Watch function will pause. 3.  If the or keys are pressed while on Channel 16, the channel will change as normal and Channel 16 mode will be released. 4.  If the VOL/INT key is pressed over 2 seconds on the above status, it will change to the country mode and the Channel 16 mode will be released.

Battery Level display LCD Back-Light

When any key is pressed, the LCD and keypad will illuminate for 6 seconds. We recommend that you check the Battery Level icon periodically. If the battery level drops below a minimum voltage, the radio displays a low battery warning. The Low Battery icon is displayed as shown below.

KEY-PAD Lock
Press the MON/LK key for 2 seconds to lock the keypad. Press MON/LK again for 2 seconds to re-activate the keypad. When the Key Lock is on, the PTT button, MON/LK and Power keys are still active but all other keys are disabled.

Dual Watch mode

The Dual Watch function is a 2 channel scan feature where the GX660 switches between Channel 16 and any other selected channel. This allows you to monitor a working or club channel whilst still being able to receive important broadcasts on Channel 16.

Maintenance and caution

The GX660 is designed to provide years of trouble free operation with virtually no maintenance. Follow these simple procedures to ensure that the GX660 continues to deliver top performance:  Rinse the GX660 lightly with fresh water after exposure to salt water or the radios keys may become inoperable due to salt crystallisation.  BE CAREFUL! Extreme shock (dropping, etc.) may crack the case or dislodge or damage the seals. Additionally, wear or improper battery pack installation can damage the battery compartment seal.  Never transmit without an antenna attached to avoid any damage to the radio.  Avoid using or placing the GX660 in areas with temperature below -15C or above + 55C. Do not place on windshields, etc.
