3.3.6Setting 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.

3.3.7Transmitting

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.

3.3.8Selecting 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.
