Tri-Watch for European Model RAY230E

In Tri-Watch Mode, the RAY230E operates on the Working Channel while constantly monitoring Channel 16. Then, a third user-selectable channel is monitored: either the previously selected Weather Channel (in US mode) or the last used Multi-Call Channel (in International mode). When a signal is detected on one of the other channels, that channel becomes active. When there is no longer any activity on the active channel, the RAY230E returns to Tri-Watch.

To start Tri-Watch mode, select the Working Channel then press the FUNC key followed by the MON/TRI key. The Working Channel appears on the 7-segment display, Channel 16 appears on the right-most portion of the dot matrix display, and the Weather Channel or Multi-Call Channel appears on the left-most portion of the dot matrix display.

To end Tri-Watch mode at the current channel, press the MON key, the CLR key, or the PTT switch. If Tri-Watch mode is initiated at Channel 70, the operation is cancelled and an error alert tone sounds.

3.5.23 Priority Using Multiple Handsets

If more than one handset has been installed, the station with the highest priority has control of the radio’s operation when it is taken off the cradle hook. A handset’s priority ranking is determined by its station number, with Handset One having the highest rank and Handset Three having the lowest. Handset One should be located where the ship is normally navigated from (such as the wheel house), so in the event of an emergency, this handset can take immediate control of the transceiver. The handset name as shown in the dot matrix display can be changed to any name up to a length of 9 letters using the Menu operation described in section 3.5.30.4.1 Intercom Set Up.
