Ray49E Marine VHF Radio
Note:
The AUTO CH CHG option determines whether you want your radio automatically
switched to channel 16 to receive the call or instead to be prompted to manually receive or
decline the channel change. See page 89.
Receiving a Distress Relay Sent by Another Station
When a Distress Relay is received, an alarm sounds, the envelope icon blinks and
the LCD displays two alternating screens. Page 1 displays the Name/MMSI ID of the
station sending the message. Page 2 displays the Name/MMSI ID of the vessel in
distress and its lat/lon position. The radio does not resend distress relay messages.
5.3 DSC Phonebook
The Phonebook stores up to 30 preprogrammed MMSI numbers that you can
select for making an Individual Call. The numbers are stored by name and contain
the station’s MMSI number. You can add, edit and delete entries from the
Phonebook, much as you would on a cellular telephone. The NAME field can be up
to 11 alpha-numeric characters (all capitals) in length. 13 symbols are also
available. Rotate the
CH/OK
knob to make an item appear on the dot matrix
display and then press in
CH/OK
to select that item.
Adding a new Entry
1. From the DSC menu, rotate the
CH/OK
knob until the arrow points to PHONE-
BOOK.
2. Press in the
CH/OK
knob to select.
The list of Phonebook entries appears. The arrow is pointing to <NEW>. If no
entries have yet been entered, this is your only choice.
3. Press the
CH/OK
knob again to select. You are prompted to enter the MMSI
number for the new entry. The first character space to be modified is high-
lighted with a flashing underline.
