Operation with a FFist Microphone
3.3.6 Setting the Frequency Mode
The frequency modes available are US, International, and Canadian.
If the CAN and INT indicators are not illuminated, then US channels are
selected.
If in US mode, pressing and holding the WX/INT key for 2 seconds will
select Canadian channels (CAN will illuminate).
If in Canadian mode and WX/INT is pressed for 2 seconds, INT will
display and International channels are selected.
If WX/INT is pressed for 2 seconds while INT is illuminated, INT will
disappear and US channels are selected.
3.3.7 Transmitting
Press the Push-To-Talk key (PTT) and speak into the microphone using a
clear normal voice. If the current channel is a Weather Channel or a TX
prohibited channel, an alarm will sound when PTT is pressed indicating
such a transmission is not permitted.
As per FCC rules, if PTT is pressed and held enabling the transmitter
continuously for 5 minutes, the RAY215 will automatically disable the
transmitter. Once PTT is released, the transmitter will be re-enabled.
3.3.8 Selecting a Weather Channel
The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)
broadcasts continuous weather reports and severe weather alerts, as needed.
The RAY215 is programmed to receive 10 NOAA weather channels and
sound an alarm if a weather alert is received.
The Weather Channels consist of Channel 0 through Channel 9. Press the
WX/INT key once to enter the Weather mode and use either the Channel
Select (CH) knob or Channel UP/DOWN Trackpad on the microphone to
select the desired weather channel. While the Weather Channel is active,
the WX indicator appears in the LCD display.
Note: Weather operation is available only in US frequency mode and
can only be heard in the US and Canada.
