Operation with Full Function Handset
Section 4 Operation with Optional
Full Function Handset
4.1 Introduction
The RAY215E can be operated with the standard Minimum Function
Handset, or an optional Full Function Handset that upgrades the radio to
full Class “D” DSC status, or both handsets to enable intercom capabilities.
This section describes using the RAY215E with the optional Full Function
Handset. See section 3 for operation using the standard Minimum Function
Handset.
The Full Function Handset enables Class “D” DSC operations and NMEA
(GPS) position data transmissions in the RAY215E. DSC functions
include: Individual, Group, All Ships, and Distress calls. To have DSC
and NMEA (GPS) position functionality available on the RAY215E,
you must have a Full Function Handset installed.
The Full Function Handset also 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 E46020) that replaces the Minimum Function
Handset or as a Second Station (Raymarine part number E46022) that,
when used in conjunction with a Minimum Function Handset, enables
intercom functions between the two stations.
4.2 Minimum / Full Function Handset Priority
When both a Minimum Function Handset 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 Minimum Function
Handset and the REMOTE indicator illuminates on the LCD of the base
station. When the Full Function Handset is in the cradle, the Minimum
Function Handset has priority and the REMOTE indicator extinguishes.
