RM600D REMOTE UNIT The RM600D remote unit provides a remote head connection to allow operation of the GX600D from a flybridge or second station on your vessel. The RM600D conveniently plugs into the GX600D using an interconnecting cable and no additional interface wiring is required. The RM600D is supplied with a DC lead for connection to a 12 Volt power source and 5 metres of terminated interconnecting cable. Additional terminated cables are available in 5 and 10 metre lengths. When connected, the RM600D can duplicate all functions of the GX600D. In addition it includes an Intercom feature that allows internal communications between the GX600D and the RM600D. The RM600D is supplied with a standard PTT microphone which is interchangeable with the alphanumeric microphone supplied with the GX600D. Because of the additional functions accessible from the alphanumeric microphone, master control is given to whichever device has the alphanumeric microphone connected. However the main unit GX600D always has priority. If the GX600D is switched off the system will not operate and no back lighting will show on the RM600D LCD display. Before INSTRUCTION MANUAL RM600D changing the microphones, both units should be switched off. AUDIO OUTPUT POWER Note: Only one alphanumeric microphone should be connected to any GX600D/RM600D combination.

WATER PROOFING CONNECTIONS Although the RM600D itself is designed to resist the ingress of water, the cable connectors are not completely waterproof. After installation, the speaker and remote connectors should be wrapped in waterproof tape or similar to minimise the risk of corrosion or water damage.
