Operation with Minimum Function Handset
10. After you have selected the other ship’s MMSI number, the radio
prompts you for the working channel you wish to communicate on.
The large character display shows the last used channel number and a
“W” appears in the small channel display. Use the Channel Select
knob to select the desired working channel for the Individual Call.
Note: Only simplex channels (those channels that transmit and receive
on the same frequency) can be selected for the working channel of an
Individual Call. Rotating the CH knob scrolls you through the simplex
channels usable for this operation.
11. Press the DSC/PRI key once. The TX indicator on the LCD flashes,
indicating the RAY215E is ready to transmit.
12. Press the PTT key to send the digital “packet” of information. The
radio waits for an acknowledgment from the targeted ship or station.
13. If the target station acknowledges, a tone sounds and “ACK”
illuminates on the LCD. After 2 seconds, the RAY215E switches to
the previously selected working channel.

Using an MMSI number selected from the phonebook:
Using the RAY215E with a Minimum Function Handset, you can select
from up to ten other ship’s MMSI numbers that have been stored in the
phonebook. The numbers are identified by a single letter that you have
assigned to it. You must note what letter you assigned to the MMSI number
because only that letter appears on the LCD when you are retrieving it.
Note: The operation is cancelled if the 16 key is pressed or if no keys are
pressed for 60 seconds during any part of this process.
