3-15 Operation with a Fist Microphone
Note: You must program the ship's MMSI number before the radio can
enter the DSC mode. See Section 3.3.17.1 below.
3.3.17.1 MMSI Number Setup
You must enter your Maritime Mobile Service Identity (MMSI) number
in the RAY215 before the DSC system will be operational. You can request
an MMSI number from the FCC when you apply for a radio license.
If your vessel does not require a license, you may obtain an MMSI by
contacting either BoatUS (www.boatus.com) or MariTEL
(www.maritelusa.com).
Once you have received your MMSI number, enter it into the radio as
follows:
1. Press and hold the DSC/PRI and D/L / I.C. keys simultaneously for 2
seconds to enter DSC mode. A tone sounds, the DSC indicator appears,
"0" is displayed in the large character display, and "1" is displayed in
the small character display.
Note: If an MMSI number is already in memory, the MMSI entry
scrolls across the display, one digit at a time.
3. Rotate the Channel Select (CH) knob until the first digit of your MMSI
number appears in the large character display. (Channel UP/DOWN
keys on the microphone are disabled during this process).
4. Press the DSC/PRI key once to accept. The small character display
now shows a "2", designating the second digit in your MMSI number.
5. Rotate the Channel Select (CH) knob until the second digit of your
MMSI number appears in the large channel display.
6. Press the DSC/PRI key once to accept.
7. Enter all 9 digits of the MMSI number in the same way.
Once the 9th digit has been entered and accepted, the RAY215 plays
back the 9 digits (one digit at a time) just entered for proper entry
verification.
Note: Ensure the MMSI number entered is correct with this
verification playback. Once the number is accepted as outlined in
the next step, it cannot be changed except by Raymarine factory
representatives.
