Compliance with RF Energy Standards This radio is designed and tested to comply with a number of national and international standards and guidelines (listed below) regarding human exposure to RF electromagnetic energy. This radio complies with the IEEE and ICNIRP exposure limits for occupational/controlled RF exposure environment at duty cycles of up to 50% talk‐50% listen and should be used for occupational use only.
USING THE RADIO IN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES OR BLASTING AREAS Switch off your radio before entering any area where there may be inflammable gas, liquids or dust. An explosion could result in serious injury or death. Switch off your radio when approaching a blasting area. Blasting areas are usually sign posted with instructions to users to turn off two way radios. Strong radio transmissions could ignite blasting caps resulting in an unscheduled explosion resulting in serious injury or death.

INTRODUCTION The GME CM1039 Series is a 25W Commercial radio which will operate in the VHF 136 – 174 MHz, UHF(H) 450MHz – 512MHz and UHF(L) 403MHz – 470MHz bands. GME CM1039 Series radios represent a significant opportunity for both large and small network operators to effectively future proof their communications systems. The CM1039 series of mobile radios permits fleet transition from a simple, yet fully featured analog transceiver to a totally compliant conventional or trunked P25 digital solution.

Menu items can be individually enabled or disabled by the dealer programmer.
Note: The Menu option will timeout after 5 seconds if no further menu selections are made. Menu Map The following Menu Map represents all of the available menu options. Only the menu items that have been enabled in your radio will actually appear in your radio’s menu.
GENERAL OPERATION BACKLIGHT The LCD back light brightness level is adjustable in 16 steps from off to full. To adjust the back light brightness; 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Press SEL. Rotate to ‘SETTINGS’ and press SEL. Rotate to ‘DISPLAY’ and press SEL. Rotate to ‘BKLGT’ and press SEL. Rotate to select the required brightness setting. Press SEL to accept. TX POWER LEVEL Sets the global maximum transmit power for the radio. The user can select from 1 of 4 levels: 1W, 5W, 10W, 25W.
5. Rotate to select ON or OFF. The squelch will open when OFF is selected and close when ON is selected. 6. Press SEL to accept. Note: Squelch settings are not applicable to P25 operation. SQUELCH LEVEL The squelch level adjusts the sensitivity of the squelch to incoming signals. The squelch level should be set at a point where the squelch remains closed when there are no signals present but will open on most signals.
FIRMWARE VERSION To read the current firmware version; 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Press SEL. Rotate to ‘SETTINGS’ and press SEL. Rotate to ‘RADIO INFO’ and press SEL. Rotate to ‘VERSION’ and press SEL. The current radio firmware version will be displayed. Press and hold CLR to exit the menu. ELECTRONIC SERIAL NUMBER (ESN) To view the radio’s electronic serial number; 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Press SEL. Rotate to ‘SETTINGS’ and press SEL. Rotate to ‘RADIO INFO’ and press SEL. Rotate to ‘SERIAL NO and press SEL.
If the call is received successfully, a confirmation message will be displayed. Operating in the Quiet mode The QUIET mode prevents any incoming transmissions from being heard until your Selcall Ident is received. This allows you to monitor a busy channel for calls without being disturbed by unwanted signals. When your Selcall Ident is received, the QUIET mode is cancelled and all incoming signals will be heard in the speaker.
not hear the call. Similarly, calls made to other radios that use a different squelch tone will not be heard by your radio. In this way several groups of radios can share the same channel but be almost unaware of each other's existence. One main advantage of CTCSS/DCS is it is fully automatic with no special operation required by the user. MONITOR A monitor key is used to monitor (listen) to a channel that would normally remain squelched (quiet) under the control of a CTCSS or DCS tone.
channel in the current zone. The radio doesn't change to the selected zone until the SEL knob is pressed. If the CLR knob pressed, the zone menu clears and the radio continues to operate on the current channel. Programmable keys can be assigned to the ZONE function providing direct access to the ZONEs menu. The zone is then selected using the SEL knob. If zones are globally disabled, the zone menu item is also disabled.
Zones and Scanning There are two main types of scanning; scan groups and zone scan. The scan behavior when zones are changed depends on the current scan type in progress. A scan group is a list of channels used for scanning or voting. The scan group appears in the channel list, and is selected by the user with the SEL knob. If the radio is currently on a scan group channel, scanning stops when the zone is changed.
the zone cannot be deleted until the channel is removed from the scan group. When a zone is deleted, the zone name is erased and all zone flags are cleared. Every channel has to belong to a zone. Channels can be moved from one zone to another in the programmer. SCAN The scan feature is used to monitor a group of channels for activity. When there is activity on a channel the radio stops scanning and holds on that channel. A scan group can only contain Analog or P25 channels.
scan group is active, then the scan group is deselected and scanning or voting stops. The radio then selects the channel or scan group assigned the RECALL key. A scan group is configured using the radio programmer. The scan group configuration cannot be modified and channels cannot be added to or removed from the scan group by the user. A scan group can be configured for either scanning or voting. Each scan group can be configured individually.
The radio scans the repeater output frequencies and selects the channel with the highest signal strength or the first channel above a signal strength threshold. The radio maintains a channel to use for PTT. Generally this is the last channel the radio selected for receive. If no signal has been received the radio will cycle through all the channels in turn on each PTT press.
If a different zone is selected while zone scan is active, then zone scan continues to be active in the selected zone if possible. If there are not enough channels tagged for zone scan in the selected zone, then zone scan stops. If the SCAN key is pressed while a scan group is selected (i.e.: an RSSI voting channel), the radio stops the scan group activity and commences the zone scan. When the SCAN key is pressed again, the zone scan stops and the radio will resume scan group activity.
Dynamic regrouping is de‐activated by either selecting another talk group/channel (if possible), or by send a request to de‐activate dynamic regrouping. When deactivated, the radio will return to the talk group that was active when the dynamic regroup request was sent. Dynamic regrouping is not preserved between power off‐on. FAILSOFT OPERATION If the radio is unable to access the trunking system, it can be programmed to enter failsoft mode.
Fitting the Radio Removing the Radio Gently spread tabs Gently spread tabs Slide radio from cradle Fitting MC513BC Microphone Screw the microphone mounting clip to a firm surface. The microphone uses a miniature 6 pin telephone style plug and socket. To fit the microphone: 1. Position the microphone plug so the plastic tab faces downwards. Press the plug into the socket until it ‘clicks’. 2.
Removing the microphone 1. Squeeze the rubber strain relief near the front panel to disengage the slot, and slide the strain relief back along the microphone cord. 2. Squeeze the plastic tab on the microphone plug towards the plug to unlock it while gently pulling the plug outwards. If the plug does not come out easily, the tab has not released correctly and should be squeezed again.
DC POWER CONECTION The CM1039 is designed for 13.8 Volt DC, negative earth installations only (i.e. where the negative terminal of the battery is connected to the chassis or frame of the vehicle). Two in‐line 10 Amp fuses are supplied. These fuses are to be connected as close to the battery as possible. The radio’s positive (red) lead should be connected via a 10 Amp fuse directly to the battery’s positive terminal.
