Once the external stereo speakers are connected you can adjust the balance between 
the left and right speaker using the Balance function available via the

ANTENNA INSTALLATION

It is essential to select a good quality AM/FM antenna. A poor quality antenna will not 
provide good performance. We recommend you contact your local dealer for advice.

The antenna should be mounted in a position as high as practical to ensure good 
reception especially in areas of low signal strength. When installing the antenna, 
ensure a minimum clearance of around 20 cm from bow or stern rails or windscreen 
frames etc. It is also recommended the antenna be placed at least one metre from 
two-way radio antennas to minimise interference from radio transmissions.

To connect the antenna to your GR300BT, simply plug the antenna lead into the fly-
leaded antenna socket on the rear of the unit. The socket accepts a standard AM/FM 
radio bayonet connector.

Note: 

The antenna socket is not waterproof.

Noise Suppression

The inherent design of FM radios results in a high level of resistance to ignition and 
electrical interference however electrical interference on AM radio can be almost 
impossible to eliminate. To help minimise any interference, take extra care during the 
installation. Try to route the DC battery leads, the antenna lead or any accessory wires 
away from the engine compartment, ignition or alternator wiring. A suppression kit 
may also help to reduce excessive electrical noise. Contact your local marine dealer or 
radio installer for more information.

If the interference you are experiencing is from other nearby electronic equipment 
such as a depth sounder, try to keep the depth sounder’s DC leads and transducer 
cable well away from your GR300BT’s wiring.

Waterproofing the Connections

After installation, the power, speaker and antenna 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.
