4-1 Operation with a Full Function Handset
Section 4 Operation with Optional
Full Function Handset
4.1 Introduction
The RAY215 can be operated with the standard Fist Microphone, or an
optional Full Function Handset that enables additional features, or both
handsets to enable intercom capabilities. This section describes using the
RAY215 with the optional Full Function Handset. See Section 3 for operation
using the standard Fist Microphone.
The Full Function Handset provides you with these additional features:
• Full alphanumeric keypad
• Dedicated keys for Individual and All Ships DSC calls
• DSC distress calls that describe the type of distress
• Send and receive DSC Group Calls
• Expanded ship and shore phonebooks for making DSC Individual calls
• Manually enter lat/lon and UTC time when GPS input is not available
• DSC Call Log
The Full Function Handset option is available as a Single Station (Raymarine
part number E46019) that replaces the fist microphone or as a Dual Station
(Raymarine part number E46021) that, when used in conjunction with a
Fist Microphone, enables intercom functions between the two stations.
The optional Full Function Handset connects to the port labeled
HANDSET/RELOCATION KIT on the rear of the base station. The handset
will not operate if connected to the microphone port on the front of the
base station. If both a Fist Microphone and Full Function Handset are to
be used, the Fist Microphone must be connected to the front microphone
port and the Full Function Handset connected to the HANDSET/
RELOCATION KIT port on the rear of the base station.
4.1.1 Microphone / Full Function Handset Priority
When both a Fist Microphone and Full Function Handset are in use, only
one can have priority to make a call. When the Full Function Handset is
out of its cradle, it has priority over the Fist Microphone and the REMOTE
indicator illuminates on the LCD of the base station. When the Full Function
Handset is in the cradle, the Fist Microphone has priority and the REMOTE
indicator extinguishes.
