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.
or
If the call is not acknowledged, exit the DSC mode by pressing the 16 key.

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.
