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.

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.
