The TX indicator appears during transmission. Note: International regulations and good communications practice dictate that you not interfere with other communications. Before transmitting, listen to make sure the channel is clear. The radio is equipped with a timeout timer in the event of a stuck key. After PTT has been held continuously for 5 minutes, transmission is discontinued, the message TX TIMEOUT appears, and an alert tone sounds. After the timeout, the alarm continues to sound until PTT is released. The TX time out timer is reset and the radio returns to receive mode once the PTT key is released. Note: If the current channel is receive-only, an alert tone sounds when PTT is pressed, in- dicating such a transmission is not permitted. Overriding the Low Output Power Restriction In the US, channels 13 and 67 are restricted to transmit at low power. However, you can temporarily override this low power restriction. To override the LO power restriction on channels 13 or 67 and transmit at high power: 1. Press and hold PTT. 2. Press and release The HI/LO key on the microphone. TX power is set to HI power for as long as you hold down PTT. 3. When you release PTT, power returns to LO.

DSC protocol is a globally applied system used to send and receive digital calls. DSC uses a unique Maritime Mobile Service Identity (MMSI) number to direct DSC calls directly to your radio, much like a telephone number. Note: An MMSI number is required to operate the DSC equipment in this radio. You can obtain an MMSI from BoatUS (www.boatus.com). Once obtained, you can program the MMSI number yourself one time only using the operation described in “My MMSI ID“ on page 82. Otherwise, your Raymarine dealer can program or change the number for you. The Ray49 includes a separate dedicated receiver just for DSC communications on channel 70. When a DSC call is received, the radio automatically responds based on the type of call. When receiving a DSC call from another vessel or a coast station, an alert sounds and DSC data appears in the LCD–such as time of a call, the caller and the type and priority of a call. 5.1 DSC Call Menu You access DSC functions via the DSC menu. Press and hold the MENU/DSC key for 3 seconds to enter DSC call mode. 55 60 5 10 50 15 45 20 40 35 30 25 DSC MENU >INDIVIDUAL GROUP ALL SHIPS D10165-1 Note: Distress calls are made using the DISTRESS key. The Ray49 can make the following type of DSC calls: DSC Call Type Description DISTRESS Sends out your MMSI number and nature of your Distress along with the position and time information from the input NMEA data. This digital information lets other ships and shore stations equipped with appropriate DSC equipment know where you are and that you are in a Distress situation. Distress Calls are made using the DISTRESS key. INDIVIDUAL Makes a ROUTINE DSC call to a specific station identified by its MMSI number. 58 Ray49 Marine VHF Radio DSC Call Type Description GROUP Sends transmissions that are only received by radios sharing a common Group MMSI number. Up to 3 Group MMSI numbers can be stored and called. ALL SHIPS Sends out a message to all stations within range that you have important information but the situation is not serious enough for a Distress Call. All Ships calls should only be used if hailing for assistance on channel 16 fails. There are two types of All Ships Calls: SAFETY for advisory alerts and URGENCY for assistance when life is not in immediate danger. POSITION REQUEST This option enables you to request GPS position information from any vessel for which an MMSI number is known. You can specify the target vessel either by selecting it from your MMSI phonebook or by manually entering its MMSI number. You can also be requested to send out your position to someone else. RECEIVED CALLS Three separate logs listing all received DSC Call types by number and time of call. Entries are separated into the following: Distress Log, Call Log for all other types of DSC Calls, and Position Log. NOTE: You can place a call directly from a log to the station that is currently displayed. You can also add the displayed station to the DSC Phonebook. Making DSC Menu and Programming Selections D10023-1 There are two ways to make DSC menu and character selections in your radio: 1. Most examples in this chapter describe making selections using the CH/OK knob on the transceiver. 2. However, you can also press the microphone up/down keys to make your selections and then press the microphone HI/LO key to accept. Chapter 5: Digital Selective Calling (DSC) 59 5.2 Distress Calls For a Distress Call transmission, the Ray49 takes the position and time information from the input NMEA data along with your MMSI and converts it into a digital “packet”. When transmitted, this digital information lets other ships and shore stations equipped with appropriate DSC equipment know where you are and that you are in a Distress situation. Your call can specify the nature of the Distress (designated call) or not (undesignated call). Sending a Distress Call D10166-1 Lift the spring-loaded door on the front panel of the transceiver.

Cancel my distress alert of DATE, TIME, NAME, CALL SIGN.” 62 Ray49 Marine VHF Radio Receiving a Distress Call The Ray49 receives distress messages sent by another vessel and/or acknowledgments (ACK) sent by a coast station to another vessel in distress. The radio also receives distress relays. Note: Class “D” DSC radios such as the Ray49 are forbidden by law from automatically acknowledging or relaying DSC distress calls. Upon receiving a distress call, you may hail the vessel in distress on channel 16 and standby to lend assistance if requested. When a Distress Call is received, the Ray49 automatically tunes to channel 16 and sounds the Distress Alarm Tone. (If you have disabled automatic channel changing, as described on page 84, you are first prompted whether to accept the call.) Two alternating screens appear in the display. When position data and time is included within the signal, it is displayed on the first screen in the text area of the LCD. The second screen shows the nature of the distress and time it was sent. The 2 alternating pages of data are recorded in the Distress Log. The envelope icon ( ) blinks until you accept the call, reject the call, or open the resulting unread message stored in the Log. See page “Received Calls (Logs)“ on page 79. To mute the alert tone: Press CLR/WX. To ignore the Distress Call: Press CLR/WX a second time. The envelope icon disappears, the call is interrupted and the normal screen appears on the LCD. To accept a Distress Call when Auto Channel Change is OFF 1. Press the CH/OK knob.

Making DSC Calls to Coast Stations The examples in this handbook illustrate making DSC calls to Ship Stations. However, the procedures for making Individual Calls to a Coast Station are different. Calls to a Ship Station require that you enter a subsequent working channel chosen from a pre-programmed list offered to you by the Ray49. Calls to a Coast Station remove this step from the operating procedures. The Coast Station controls and indicates the subsequent working channel within its acknowledgement. Chapter 5: Digital Selective Calling (DSC) 67 The Ray49 automatically detects the correct procedures for you based on the type of MMSI number you enter manually or with or the phonebook. If “00” is detected as the first two characters of the MMSI, Coast Station procedures are implemented automatically. Note: When making a call to a coast station, you will not be asked to select a working channel because that will be provided by the coast station. Transmitting an Individual Call To make an Individual Call to a ship or coast station, you must select the specific MMSI number to contact and the working channel to be used for the call. The MMSI ID can be entered manually or selected from a Phonebook list of preprogrammed numbers specified using the MENU function, as follows: 1. From the DSC menu, rotate the CH/OK knob until the arrow points to INDIVIDUAL. 2. Press CH/OK. The Individual Routine menu appears, which displays any Phonebook entries you have saved and for manual number entry. 3.

Intership communications should be restricted to Channels 6, 8, 72 and 77. If these are not available, the other channels marked for Intership may be used. Channel 70 is used exclusively for Digital Selective Calling (DSC) and is not available for regular voice communications. Notes: 1. Channel 06 may also be used for communications between ship stations and aircraft engaged in coordinated search and rescue operations. Ship stations should avoid harmful interference to such communications on channel 06 as well as to communications between aircraft stations, ice breakers and assisted ships during ice seasons. 2. Within the European Maritime Area and in Canada, channels 10, 67 and 73 may also be used by the individual administrations concerned for communication between ship stations, aircraft stations and participating land stations engaged in coordinated search and rescue and anti-pollution operations in local areas. Channels 10 or 73 (depending on location) are also used for the broadcast of Marine Safety Information by the Maritime and Coast Guard Agency in the UK only. 3. Channel 13 is designated for use on a worldwide basis as a navigation safety communication channel, primarily for intership navigation safety communications. 4. Channels 15 and 17 may also be used for on-board communications provided the effective radiated power does not exceed 1 Watt. 5. The use of Channels 75 and 76 should be restricted to navigation related communication only and all precautions should be taken to avoid harmful interference to channel 16. Transmit power is limited to 1 Watt. 106 Ray49 Marine VHF Radio WX Channels (North America only) Weather Channel Frequency in MHz WX 1 162.550 WX 2 162.400 WX 3 162.475 WX 4 162.425 WX 5 162.450 WX 6 162.500 WX 7 162.525 WX 8 161.650 WX 9 161.775 WX 10 163.275 107 Appendix E: Glossary Term Meaning All Scan A feature that scans all channels in the channel set.
