RSM Overview
A description of the optional RSM accessory for a G8 device.
G8 supports the use of an optional RSM (Remote Speaker Microphone) for easier communication in noisy environments, greatly increasing the volume of the G8 during voice applications. It enhances support for quick access to volume control and incoming audio notifications. The RSM can be used for two-way communication with other G8 devices.
The RSM, when connected to G8, is powered through the G8 battery and remains powered on until it is physically disconnected.

- Once inserted, press down until the connector clicks into position.
When the RSM is first connected, a short tone plays, and G8 briefly displays a green "RSM Connected" message. If the G8 device has the PTT subscription, the RSM icon replaces the PTT microphone icon in the PTT screen as long as the RSM is connected. If the G8 device is not set up with the PTT subscription, the PTT screen is not available but the RSM continues to work with G8.
Adjusting the Audio Volume
Steps to adjust both the incoming and outgoing audio from the RSM.
- Incoming audio level: Press the Hi Lo button to change the incoming audio volume of the RSM. When the button is pressed in, the incoming audio volume is increased.
- Receive audio level: Set the volume from the PTT Quick Access menu.
Disconnecting the RSM from G8
Steps to disconnect the RSM from G8.
When RSM is disconnected, a short tone plays, and a green Disconnected message briefly appears. If the G8 device has the PTT subscription, the PTT screen reverts to a PTT microphone icon.
