1-2 General Description
• Intercom operation between Minimum Function Handset and Optional
Full Function Handset (second station)
• Distant/local mode
1.3 Minimum / Full Function Handset Options
The RAY215E can be operated with the standard Minimum Function
Handset, an optional Full Function Handset with additional features, or
both. Operation with both units installed enables intercom capabilities
between the two stations.
The Minimum Function Handset features up/down channel select keys,
Channel 16 selection button, plus a quick access Distress key.
The optional Full Function Handset provides you with all the features of
the Minimum Function Handset plus a full alphanumeric keypad, expanded
LCD display, volume and squelch level controls, and full Class “D” DSC
functions, including: DSC Distress calls, dedicated keys for Individual
and All Ships DSC calls, and expanded ship and shore phonebooks for
making DSC Individual calls.
Note: When a Full Function Handset is NOT installed, the unit is not a
Class “D” DSC radio, and will have only basic functionality. You will
not have access to DSC functions or NMEA (GPS) position data
operation. If ATIS is enabled, it will be active all the time – you will not
be able to disable it.
The Single Station Full Function Handset with cradle (Raymarine part
number E46020) is used in lieu of the Minimum Function Handset. The
Dual Station Full Function Handset (Raymarine part number E46022),
which includes a cradle and external speaker, is used in conjunction with
the Minimum Function Handset to enable intercom communications
between the two stations.
Note: The RAY215E 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.
Section 3 describes using the RAY215E with the Minimum Function
Handset. See Section 4 for a complete discussion of operation using the
optional Full Function Handset.
