1.3 Microphone / Handset Options
The RAY215 can be operated with the standard Fist Microphone, an
optional Full Function Handset with additional features, or both. Operation
with both units installed enables intercom capabilities between the two
stations.
The Fist Microphone features up/down channel select keys, Priority
Channel (16 or 9) selection button, plus a quick access DSC Distress key.
The optional Full Function Handset provides you with all the features of
the fist microphone plus a full alphanumeric keypad, expanded LCD
display, volume and squelch level controls, DSC distress calls that describe
the type of distress, dedicated keys for Individual and All Ships DSC
calls, and expanded ship and shore phonebooks for making DSC Individual
calls.
Either unit can be located in a remote location using the optional Handset/
Microphone Relocation Kit.
The Single Station Full Function Handset with cradle (Raymarine part
number E46019) is used in lieu of the Fist Microphone. The Dual Station
Full Function Handset (Raymarine part number E46021), which includes
a cradle and external speaker, is used in conjunction with the Fist
Microphone to enable intercom communications between the two stations.
Note: The RAY215 is designed to have the base station as the priority
unit. Therefore, Raymarine recommends installing the base station in the
radio operating room or the location from which the ship is normally
navigated. If an optional second station Full Function Handset is also
installed, that handset should be installed in the remote location.
See Section 3 for a complete discussion of operation using the Fist
Microphone. Section 4 describes using the RAY215 with the optional
Full Function Handset.
