DISCLAIMER Whilst every care is taken in the preparation of these details their accuracy cannot be guaranteed. They are intended as a guide only and do not constitute part of any contract. The Company offers the details of this vessel in good faith but cannot guarantee or warrant the accuracy of this information nor warrant the condition of the vessel. A buyer should instruct his agents, or his surveyors, to investigate such details as the buyer desires validated. This vessel is offered subject to prior sale, price change, or withdrawal without notice.

Note: The RAY215E is designed to have the base station as the priority unit. You should install the base station and Minimum Function Handset in the radio operation room or the location from which the ship is normally navigated. If an optional second station Full Function Handset is also installed, that handset is the one that should be installed in the remote location.

Handset Connections

The Minimum Function Handset can be connected to the port on the front of the base station (Figure 3-2) or mounted near the base station using the optional Handset Relocation Kit (part number E46026), which is available from your authorized Raymarine dealer/distributor. The Relocation Kit must be connected to the HANDSET/RELOCATION KIT port on the rear of the base station (Figure 3-1). 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. In this case, the Handset Relocation Kit could not be used with the Minimum Function Handset. Once installed, the two stations can communicate with one another using the Intercom function described in Section 4.6.14.

SCAN/ MEM Key This key starts or stops All Scan and Memory Scan Modes. The key also places favorite channels into the radios memory for quick selection. Pressing and holding SCAN/MEM for 3 seconds stores into memory the currently displayed channel and illuminates the MEM indicator on the LCD. If the current channel has already been stored, pressing SCAN/MEM removes the channel from memory and extinguishes the MEM indicator. Pressing and releasing SCAN/MEM when no channels have been entered into memory initiates a scan of all available channels. The SCAN indicator illuminates on the LCD. When at least one channel has been programmed into memory, pressing and releasing SCAN/MEM causes the MEM and SCAN indicators to flash for 3 seconds. If the key is pressed again while these indicators are flashing, the radio enters All Scan mode. However, if the 3 seconds expire before pressing the key a second time, the radio initiates a scan of only those channels programmed into memory. Pressing the SCAN/MEM key during All Scan or Memory Scan terminates the scan.

To select the Private Channel: 1. Simultaneously press and release the SCAN/MEM and MON/1/25 keys. The assigned private channel number appears in the large channel display. If multiple Private Channels are available, the first channel number appears. Pc appears in the small channel display. 2. If multiple Private Channels are available, turn the CH knob until the desired Private Channel number appears. The displayed Private Channel number is selected. Pressing SCAN/MEM initiates Scan mode, which includes the Private Channel in the list of channels being scanned. Pressing MULTI initiates a Tri-Watch monitoring of the Private, Priority, and Working Channels. The Private Channel appears in the large channel display, the Working Channel appears in the small channel display, and the MON indicator flashes. To exit the Private Channel, press the SCAN/MEM and MON/1/25 keys again or press the 16 key to switch to the Priority Channel 16.
3.5.7 Setting the Frequency Mode
The RAY215E can transmit and receive on all available International marine VHF radiotelephone channels. With a software upgrade, the RAY215E can also communicate on the US channel set. If the US channel set option has been installed, pressing SCAN/MEM and MULTI key simultaneously toggles between International and US modes. When the International mode has been selected, the INT indicator is illuminated. When the US mode has been selected, the INT indicator is extinguished. There is no separate indicator for US mode. Note: Some countries require special licensing to activate the US channels.

Transmitting

Press the Push-To-Talk key (PTT) and speak into the microphone using a clear normal voice. If the current channel is a TX prohibited channel, an alarm will sound when PTT is pressed indicating such a transmission is not permitted. If the PTT key is pressed and held enabling the transmitter continuously for 5 minutes, the RAY215E will automatically disable the transmitter. Once PTT is released, the transmitter will be re-enabled.
Selecting a Weather Channel (US Mode)
The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) broadcasts continuous weather reports and severe weather alerts, as needed. The RAY215E can be set to receive these broadcasts if the unit has been upgraded to use the US channel set, and US mode is selected. Weather broadcasts can only be heard in the US and Canada. To listen to weather broadcasts while in the US or Canada, press the MULTI key once to enter the Weather mode. Then use either the Channel Select (CH) knob or Channel UP/DOWN keys on the Minimum Function Handset to select the desired weather channel (0-9).

3.5.10 Priority Channel

3.5.11 Channel Memory

The RAY215E can store any International or US channel (if the optional US channel set has been programmed). The stored channels are the ones scanned in the Memory Scan mode. To store a channel in memory, select the desired channel with the CH knob and press and hold the SCAN/MEM key for 2 seconds. A tone sounds and the MEM indicator is displayed. (Weather channels can not be stored into memory). To clear a channel from memory, select the memory channel and press and hold the SCAN/MEM key for 2 seconds. The MEM indicator extinguishes, indicating that channel is no longer stored in memory.
3.5.12 Resetting Factory Defaults
You can reset many radio settings back to their factory defaults: Erase any channels stored in memory for the Memory Scan function Erase any MMSI numbers stored for Individual Ships Call Turn OFF the backlight on both the base station and full function handset Return to INT channels, if US mode is selected Return the Weather Channel to channel 0, if US mode is selected This will NOT erase the Own Ships MMSI ID number for your vessel nor will it erase the PHNBOOK entries made with the Full Function Handset.
To perform the memory reset: 1. Turn the radio OFF. 2. Press and hold the SCAN/MEM key. 3. While continuing to hold the SCAN/MEM key, turn the radio ON. The LCD remains blank for 2 seconds, CL appears momentarily, then the unit switches to channel 16.

3.5.13 Scan Modes

The RAY215E is equipped with two types of scan options: All Scan and Memory Scan. How these options are initiated depends upon whether there are any channels stored in memory.

All Scan Mode

If no channels are stored in memory when the SCAN/MEM key is pressed, the radio begins scanning all channels (except weather channels) as long as no signal is received. If a signal is received, the scan stops on the receiving channel as long as it is present. If the signal is lost for five seconds or SCAN/MEM is pressed, the radio resumes scanning. SCAN is displayed on the LCD while the Scan mode is active. If the SCAN/MEM key is pressed again while SCAN is flashing, the All Scan Standby state is suspended and the unit returns to the normal state. To cancel the scan mode, press the SCAN/MEM key once.

Memory Scan Mode

If one or more channels are stored in memory when the SCAN/MEM key is pressed, SCAN and MEM begin to flash simultaneously on the LCD. If no other key is pressed within three seconds, SCAN and MEM stop flashing and the radio begins scanning all channels currently stored in memory. As with All Scan, if a signal is received, the scan stops on the receiving channel until the signal is lost for five seconds or SCAN/MEM is pressed, and then the radio resumes scanning. To cancel memory scan, press and release SCAN/MEM. If there are channels stored in memory but All Scan operation is desired, press SCAN/MEM again within the 3 second period while the SCAN and MEM indicators are flashing. Note: Scan modes are disabled when the ATIS operation is active.
