FOREWORD
Thank you for purchasing the RMK-4 separation kit.
The RMK-4 allows you to connect the additional CONTROL
HEAD to the IC-F9511HT to enable dual-head operation.
Depending on the length of separation you need, use either
the optional OPC-607, OPC-608, OPC-609 or OPC-726 sep-
aration cable with the RMK-4.
EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS
WORD DEFINITION
RWARNING Personal injury, fire hazard or electric
shock may occur.
CAUTION Equipment damage may occur.
NOTE
If disregarded, inconvenience only. No risk
of personal injury, fire or electric shock.
Please refer to the instruction manual of the transceiver
for details of the basic operation.
PRECAUTIONS
RWARNING! NEVER place the transceiver’s main unit
(with the RMK-4) and CONTROL HEADs where normal operation of
the vehicle may be hindered or where they could cause bodily injury.
CAUTION! To avoid damage to the transceiver, turn the
power OFF and disconnect the DC power cable from the trans-
ceiver’s main unit before disassemble the transceiver.
DO NOT use or place the transceiver’s main unit (with the
RMK-4) and CONTROL HEADs in areas with temperatures
below –30°C (–22°F) or above +60°C (+140°F).
DO NOT use chemical agents such as benzine or alcohol
when cleaning, as they can damage the RMK-4 and CONTROL
HEAD’s surfaces.
USE the specified microphone only. Other microphones have
different pin assignments and may damage CONTROL HEAD or
the transceiver’s main unit.
KEEP the transceiver’s main unit (with the RMK-4) and CON-
TROL HEADs away from heavy rain, and never immerse them
in the water.
The transceiver’s main unit (with the RMK-4) and CONTROL
HEADs meet IP54 requirements for dust-protection and splash
resistance when the optional microphone*, the front/rear plate(s)
and the speaker jack cover of CONTROL HEAD are attached.
However, if these items are dropped, dust-protection and splash
resistance cannot be guaranteed because of possible damage to
the cases or the waterproof seals.
* The microphone is not dust-protection and splash resistant.

■ Intercom function
[P3] is used for the Intercom function ON/OFF switch when
the Intercom function is set to ON in the REMOTE BOX SET
MODE. (No other function can be assigned.)
The Intercom function allows the operators of CONTROL
HEAD 1 and 2 to communicate each other via their micro-
phones.
The optional microphone and the SP-22 external speaker
are required.
NOTE:
• Transmitting is impossible during intercom operation.
• During intercom operation, when [PTT] is pushed and
held on the caller’s side, any received radio signal is
muted on the listener side’s CONTROL HEAD external
speaker. However, the received radio signal can be heard
on the caller side’s CONTROL HEAD external speaker
and the main unit’s external speaker.
• When the message signal is received, it is not displayed
on the LCD of CONTROL HEADs during intercom opera-
tion. After exiting the intercom mode, it will be displayed
on the LCD.
• During intercom operation, CONTROL HEADs 1 and 2
return to the normal operation mode, if no [PTT] opera-
tion is performed for 30 sec.
q Push [P3 (INTERCOM)] to enter the intercom mode.
•
The other CONTROL HEAD is also set to the Intercom mode
automatically
even if this function is set to OFF
.
• “INTERCOM” appears on both CONTROL HEADs.
w Push and hold [PTT] and speak at a normal voice level
into the microphone.
• “IN USE” blinks on the listener side.
• To adjust the audio output level, rotate [VOL].
e After releasing [PTT] you can hear the response through
the speaker.
r To return to normal operation, push [P3 (INTERCOM)].
■ TX AF Monitoring function
When the TX AF Monitoring function is set to ON in the RE-
MOTE BOX SET MODE, and one CONTROL HEAD operator
is communicating, the audio can be heard from the SP-22
external speaker on the other CONTROL HEAD side.
The optional SP-22 external speaker is required.
NOTE: When one CONTROL HEAD operator is communi-
cating, “IN USE” blinks on the other CONTROL HEAD’s
display and the TX indicators lights red.

■ NOTES
• Transmission can be performed on either CONTROL HEADs
1 or 2 at the same time.
• The Power ON Password function will not work properly
when attaching the RMK-4.
• The RMK-4 is not designed for the single-head operation.
For single-head operation, use the original attachment and
cable combination— no RMK-4 is necessary.
But when the one of CONTROL HEADs is accidently bro-
ken, the RMK-4 may go into the unintended single-head op-
eration mode. In that case, the Intercom function MUST be
turned OFF. Otherwise, any problem may occur.
