Operation with a Fist Microphone |
Note: You must program the ship's MMSI number before the radio can enter the DSC mode. See Section 3.3.17.1 below.
3.3.17.1 MMSI Number Setup
You must enter your Maritime Mobile Service Identity (MMSI) number in the RAY215 before the DSC system will be operational. You can request an MMSI number from the FCC when you apply for a radio license.
If your vessel does not require a license, you may obtain an MMSI by contacting either BoatUS (www.boatus.com) or MariTEL (www.maritelusa.com).
Once you have received your MMSI number, enter it into the radio as follows:
1.Press and hold the DSC/PRI and D/L / I.C. keys simultaneously for 2 seconds to enter DSC mode. A tone sounds, the DSC indicator appears, "0" is displayed in the large character display, and "1" is displayed in the small character display.
Note: If an MMSI number is already in memory, the MMSI entry scrolls across the display, one digit at a time.
3.Rotate the Channel Select (CH) knob until the first digit of your MMSI number appears in the large character display. (Channel UP/DOWN keys on the microphone are disabled during this process).
4.Press the DSC/PRI key once to accept. The small character display now shows a "2", designating the second digit in your MMSI number.
5.Rotate the Channel Select (CH) knob until the second digit of your MMSI number appears in the large channel display.
6.Press the DSC/PRI key once to accept.
7.Enter all 9 digits of the MMSI number in the same way.
Once the 9th digit has been entered and accepted, the RAY215 plays back the 9 digits (one digit at a time) just entered for proper entry verification.
Note: Ensure the MMSI number entered is correct with this verification playback. Once the number is accepted as outlined in the next step, it cannot be changed except by Raymarine factory representatives.
