FOREWORD

Thank you for purchas�ng the RMK-4 separation kit.The RMK-4 allows you to connect the add�t�onal CONTROL HEAD to the IC-F9511HT to enable dual-head operat�on. Depend�ng on the length of separat�on you need, use e�ther the opt�onal OPC-607, OPC-608, OPC-609 or OPC-726 sep-aration cable w�th the RMK-4.

EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS

WORD DEFINITION

RWARNINGPersonal �njury, fire hazard or electr�c shock may occur.

CAUTION Equ�pment damage may occur.

NOTEIf d�sregarded, �nconven�ence only. No r�sk of personal �njury, fire or electr�c shock.

Please refer to the �nstruct�on manual of the transce�ver for deta�ls of the bas�c operat�on.

PRECAUTIONSRWARNING! NEVER place the transce�ver’s ma�n un�t (w�th the RMK-4) and CONTROL HEADs where normal operat�on of the veh�cle may be h�ndered or where they could cause bod�ly �njury.

CAUTION! To avo�d damage to the transce�ver, turn the power OFF and d�sconnect the DC power cable from the trans-ce�ver’s ma�n un�t before d�sassemble the transce�ver.

DO NOT use or place the transce�ver’s ma�n un�t (w�th the RMK-4) and CONTROL HEADs �n areas w�th temperatures below –30°C (–22°F) or above +60°C (+140°F).

DO NOT use chem�cal agents such as benz�ne or alcohol when clean�ng, as they can damage the RMK-4 and CONTROL HEAD’s surfaces.

USE the spec�f�ed m�crophone only. Other m�crophones have d�fferent p�n ass�gnments and may damage CONTROL HEAD or the transce�ver’s ma�n un�t.

KEEP the transce�ver’s ma�n un�t (w�th the RMK-4) and CON-TROL HEADs away from heavy ra�n, and never �mmerse them �n the water.The transce�ver’s ma�n un�t (w�th the RMK-4) and CONTROL HEADs meet IP54 requ�rements for dust-protect�on and splash res�stance when the opt�onal m�crophone*, the front/rear plate(s) and the speaker jack cover of CONTROL HEAD are attached.However, �f these �tems are dropped, dust-protect�on and splash res�stance cannot be guaranteed because of poss�ble damage to the cases or the waterproof seals.* The m�crophone �s not dust-protect�on and splash res�stant.

■ Intercom function[P3] �s used for the Intercom funct�on ON/OFF sw�tch when the Intercom funct�on �s set to ON �n the REMOTE BOX SET MODE. (No other funct�on can be ass�gned.)The Intercom funct�on allows the operators of CONTROL HEAD 1 and 2 to commun�cate each other v�a the�r m�cro-phones.The opt�onal m�crophone and the SP-22 external speaker are requ�red.

NOTE:• Transm�tt�ng �s �mposs�ble dur�ng �ntercom operat�on.• Dur�ng �ntercom operat�on, when [PTT] �s pushed and

held on the caller’s s�de, any rece�ved rad�o s�gnal �s muted on the l�stener s�de’s CONTROL HEAD external speaker. However, the rece�ved rad�o s�gnal can be heard on the caller s�de’s CONTROL HEAD external speaker and the ma�n un�t’s external speaker.

• When the message s�gnal �s rece�ved, �t �s not d�splayed on the LCD of CONTROL HEADs dur�ng �ntercom opera-t�on. After ex�t�ng the �ntercom mode, �t w�ll be d�splayed on the LCD.

• Dur�ng �ntercom operat�on, CONTROL HEADs 1 and 2 return to the normal operat�on mode, �f no [PTT] opera-t�on �s performed for 30 sec.

q Push [P3 (INTERCOM)] to enter the �ntercom mode. • The other CONTROL HEAD �s also set to the Intercom mode

automat�cally even �f th�s funct�on �s set to OFF. • “INTERCOM” appears on both CONTROL HEADs.w Push and hold [PTT] and speak at a normal vo�ce level

�nto the m�crophone. • “IN USE” bl�nks on the l�stener s�de. • To adjust the aud�o output level, rotate [VOL].e After releas�ng [PTT] you can hear the response through

the speaker.r To return to normal operat�on, push [P3 (INTERCOM)].

■ TX AF Monitoring functionWhen the TX AF Mon�tor�ng funct�on �s set to ON �n the RE-MOTE BOX SET MODE, and one CONTROL HEAD operator �s commun�cat�ng, the aud�o can be heard from the SP-22 external speaker on the other CONTROL HEAD s�de.The opt�onal SP-22 external speaker �s requ�red.

NOTE: When one CONTROL HEAD operator �s commun�-cat�ng, “IN USE” bl�nks on the other CONTROL HEAD’s d�splay and the TX �nd�cators l�ghts red.

IN USE

■ NOTES• Transm�ss�on can be performed on e�ther CONTROL HEADs

1 or 2 at the same t�me.• The Power ON Password funct�on w�ll not work properly

when attach�ng the RMK-4.• The RMK-4 �s not des�gned for the s�ngle-head operat�on.

For s�ngle-head operat�on, use the or�g�nal attachment and cable comb�nat�on— no RMK-4 �s necessary.

But when the one of CONTROL HEADs �s acc�dently bro-ken, the RMK-4 may go �nto the un�ntended s�ngle-head op-erat�on mode. In that case, the Intercom funct�on MUST be turned OFF. Otherw�se, any problem may occur.
