GEM GX700, Instruction Manual

 FITTING INSTRUCTIONS

NEW INSTALLATION
1.   Select a convenient location in the dashboard or 

bulkhead. Minimum area required is 96 mm (h) by 212 
mm (w). Make sure there is sufficient space behind to 
accommodate the body and leads without fouling any 
electrical wiring or control cables etc. 

2.   Use the template to mark and cut a hole 65 mm (h) 

by 165 mm (w), allowing for clearance of the two 
mounting screws holding the radio to the surround. 

3.   Use a 10 mm drill bit to form the radius of the  

corners and an 8 mm drill bit for the clearance of  
the mounting screws.

4.  Install the radio using the two machine screws 

(supplied) by engaging them in the threaded holes in 
each side of the radio housing.

5.   Connect the antenna lead, DC power lead and 

extension speaker leads (if fitted) as per the radio’s 
instructions and check the radio is operational.

6.   Insert combined radio and secure with four self 

tapping screws (supplied). If the radio is mounted in 
an exposed position it may be advisable to run a bead 
of suitable sealant behind the surround to prevent 
water seeping behind the dash board or bulkhead.

7.   Install dress caps (supplied) over the self tapping 

screws to neaten the installation.

NOTE:

 If you are replacing your current installation and 

the existing hole is larger than the template, you will 
need to use the saw tooth clamps (supplied). 
1.   Loosely fit the clamps on to the flush mount bracket 

using the four machine screws provided in the clamp 
kit (pictured below).
