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.
CAUTION
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS carefully and completely
before operating your radio and retain this manual for future
reference.
NEVER: connect the radio to a power source other than the
supplied battery. This may damage your product.
NEVER: transmit with the antenna less than 5 cm from
exposed parts of the body.
NEVER: use the radio in or near a mining facility or other area
which uses remotely triggered explosives or an area labelled
‘Blasting Area’.
NEVER: use or charge your radio in a potentially explosive
atmosphere.
DO NOT: place your radio in front of a vehicle air bag.
DO NOT: operate your radio on board an aircraft.
DO NOT: use your radio with a damaged antenna.
DO NOT: attempt to modify your radio in any way.
ALWAYS: charge your radio at normal room temperature.
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 -15º C or above +55º C.
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.
ELECTRONIC RECYCLING
Please ensure this unit is disposed of correctly when no longer
required for use.
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.
IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
If your life or the safety of your vessel is in imminent
danger you should contact other vessels in your
area or the Coast Guard by sending a distress call on
Channel 16.
USING THE CHANNEL 16 DISTRESS CALL PROCEDURE

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
