NOTE
Initial communication contacts are usually made over channel 16 as all ships and shore
stations monitor this channel. Then a shift to a working channel will be necessary.
To Select a Weather Channel
1) Press the WX/INT key, then use the Up [ ▲ ] or Down [ ▼ ] key to select the desired
weather channel from 0 to 9. When this mode is selected, the transmitter is always
inhibited.
2) If a weather alert signal is received on your selected WX channel (when in the Monitor
Mode) there is a five-second audible alarm generated. To cancel the audible alarm,
press any key.
3.3.2 The 16 PLUS (priority) Channel
The 16 PLUS channel has been preset to channel 16 prior to shipment from the factory, but
the 16 PLUS channel can be changed to another number, with the exception of all weather
channels.
1) Press the Up [
▲
] or Down [
▼
] key to select the desired channel. Then press and hold
the 16 PLUS key for three seconds. An audible beep tone will confirm that the selected
channel is stored in memory as the 16 PLUS channel.
2) To reselect channel 16 as the 16 PLUS channel, repeat step 1 for channel 16.
3.3.3 Channel Memory
The Ray48 can store into memory all U.S. or International channels. The stored channels
will be scanned during Memory Scan mode.
1) Channel Memory: To put a channel into memory, select the channel to be stored with
the Up or Down arrows. Push and hold the "SCAN" key for approximately two
seconds until a "beep" is heard and "MEM" is displayed on the LCD. This procedure
can be repeated for all U.S. or International channels.
2) Memory Clear: To clear a channel from memory, select the channel to be cleared with
the Up or Down arrows. Push and hold the "SCAN" key for approximately two
seconds until a "beep" is heard and "MEM" disappears from the LCD.
3.3.4 Scan Modes
The Ray48 is equipped with two types of scan options, All-Scan and Memory Scan. How
these options are accessed is dependent upon whether there are any channels stored in
memory.
1) All-Scan mode
If no channels are stored in memory, when the SCAN key is pressed once, "SCAN"
will begin to flash on the LCD. In three seconds, if no other keys are pressed, the radio
will begin scanning all channels (except weather channels) as long as no signal is
received. If a signal is received, the scan will stop and monitor the receiving channel.
If the signal is lost for five seconds, the radio will resume scanning. If the scan has
stopped on a received signal, you may resume scanning by pressing the SCAN key.
To cancel the scan mode, press the SCAN key once while the radio is scanning.
