[. . . ] Ray215e VHF Radio Owner's Handbook RAY215E Modular VHF Radio Owner's Handbook Document number: R49018_2 Date: April 2002 i Purpose This handbook contains very important information on the installation, operation, and maintenance of your new equipment. To get the best results in operation and performance, please take the time to read this handbook thoroughly. RAY215E The RAY215E is a VHF radiotelephone that, when outfitted with the optional Full Function Handset, includes equipment for Class "D" Digital Selective Calling. It is intended for general communication within the Maritime Mobile Service worldwide and is for use on non-SOLAS vessels. License Regulations in some areas require that you obtain an operator license before operating VHF radio equipment. [. . . ] When the Full Function Handset is out of its cradle, it has priority over the Minimum Function Handset and the REMOTE indicator illuminates on the LCD of the base station. When the Full Function Handset is in the cradle, the Minimum Function Handset has priority and the REMOTE indicator extinguishes. 4-2 Operation with Full Function Handset In an emergency, the base station can override the Full Function Handset to make a call even though the handset has priority (is off the cradle). To override the handset, press and hold the DSC/PRI key on the base station. The REMOTE indicator flashes and the base station regains priority control. On the Full Function Handset, OVERRIDE appears on the dot matrix display. In this mode, all keys are disabled on the handset except for DISTRESS. The base station retains control until the DSC/PRI key is again pressed and held. Note: The RAY215E is designed to have the base station as the priority unit. You should install the base station in the radio operation room or the location from which the ship is normally navigated. If a Second Station Full Function Handset is also installed, that handset is the one that should be installed in the remote location. 4. 3 Handset Connections The Full Function Handset connects to the port labeled HANDSET/ RELOCATION KIT on the rear of the base station (Figure 4-2). The Full Function Handset will not operate if connected to the port on the front of the base station. If both a Minimum Function Handset and Second Station Full Function Handset are to be used, the Minimum Function Handset must be connected to the front port with the Full Function Handset connected to the HANDSET/RELOCATION KIT port on the rear. Once installed, the two stations can communicate with one another using the Intercom function described in Section 4. 6. 14. Figure 4-1 Rear Connections Operation with Full Function Handset 4-3 4. 4 Controls and LCD Display Figure 4-2 Layout of Controls 4. 4. 1 Controls This section describes the control keys and display messages that appear on the Full Function Handset. Note: This Full Function Handset is also used with Raymarine radios that have additional features. As a result, the yellow Function labels POWER (16 key), CELL (3 key), HAIL (* key), and FOG (# key) represent features that are not available on the RAY215E. INDV key Switches to the DSC Individual Ship's Call mode for initiating selective calls (ship-to-ship, group calls, etc. ) using a specific MMSI number. Descriptions of these operations follow. 4-4 Operation with Full Function Handset Note: An MMSI number is required to operate the DSC equipment in this radio. You can program the MMSI number yourself using the operation described in Section 4. 7. 4. 2 (if regulations in your country permit MMSI number programming by the radio owner) or you can have your authorized Raymarine dealer/distributor program the number for you. ALL SHIP key Switches to the All Ships Call mode for Safety and Urgency transmissions. Descriptions of subsequent operations appear below in Section 4. 6. 18. 6 Transmitting All Ships Call. ! VOL UP/DOWN key Changes the sound volume of the handset. Pressing the UP key increases the volume, while the DOWN key causes it to decrease. The number of segments in the VOL bar graph on the LCD display will increase or decrease accordingly. This setting does NOT affect the volume of the base station or external speaker.
