4-2 Operation with Full Function Handset
In an emergency, the base station can override the Full Function Handset
to make a call even though the handset has priority (is off the cradle). To
override the handset, press and hold the DSC/PRI key on the base station.
The REMOTE indicator flashes and the base station regains priority
control. Make your call as usual using the Minimum Function Handset.
On the Full Function Handset, OVERRIDE appears on the dot matrix
display. In this mode, all keys are disabled on the handset except for
DISTRESS. The base station retains control until the DSC/PRI key is
again pressed and held.
Note: The RAY215E is designed to have the base station as the priority
unit. You should install the base station in the radio operation room or
the location from which the ship is normally navigated. If a Second Station
Full Function Handset is also installed, that handset is the one that should
be installed in the remote location.
4.3 Handset Connections
The Full Function Handset connects to the port labeled HANDSET/
RELOCATION KIT on the rear of the base station (Figure 4-2). The Full
Function Handset will not operate if connected to the port on the front of
the base station.
If both a Minimum Function Handset and Second Station Full Function
Handset are to be used, the Minimum Function Handset must be connected
to the front port with the Full Function Handset connected to the
HANDSET/RELOCATION KIT port on the rear. Once installed, the two
stations can communicate with one another using the Intercom function
described in Section 4.6.14.
