1.3Microphone / 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.
