This lead maintains the memories within the GR968 and 
is the main power source for the unit.

2.  Connect the Red wire labelled ‘IGNITION SWITCH (ACC)’ 

to the v12 V 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 GR968 switched ON and OFF using it’s own controls.

3.  Connect the Black wire labelled ‘NEGATIVE (-)’ to the 

battery’s negative terminal or to the common negative 
bus in the electrical system.

Important:

 Your GR968 is able to maintain it’s memories 

when it is switched off using the 

PWR

 button by drawing 

power directly from your battery via the Yellow ‘MEMORY 
12 V+’ lead. Although the memory backup current is very 
small (about 6 mA) it may eventually discharge your battery 
if left connected indefinitely. The time taken to completely 
discharge your battery could vary depending on its Amp-
hour rating and battery condition.

If you do not run your boat’s motor regularly or your battery 
is not kept charged between outings (e.g. Solar or wind 
charger), we recommend you disconnect the Yellow lead 
each time you secure or trail your boat. This is easily done 
by connecting the Yellow ‘MEMORY 12 V+’ lead via a 
Master switch, which can be switched off after each outing. 
This will mean you will lose all your preset station memories 
and clock settings.

Speaker Connections

When connecting the speakers, observe the correct polarity 
as shown in the diagram. 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 GR968’s output circuit and may result with the radio 
overheating. 

Caution:

 The GR968 is a four-speaker system that requires 

2 separate wires for each speaker.

A range of GME Electrophone speakers are available from 
your local GME Dealer.

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 vessels 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 marine antenna to the antenna socket, 
which extends from the rear of the GR968. For information 
on a suitable antenna, contact your nearest GME branch or 
marine Dealer.

Reset Button

When the installation is complete, remove the front panel 
and press the Reset button using a ballpoint pen or similar 
(see PRECAUTIONS on page 3). This will ensure the GR968 
is ready to operate for the first time. If at any time the 
controls do not seem to work (after replacing the vessel’s 
battery for example), press the Reset button to reset the 
microcomputer inside the GR968.
