[. . . ] Ray230 Ray230e Modular VHF Radio Owner's Handbook RAY230 & RAY230E Modular VHF Radio Owner's Handbook Document number: R49006_2 Date: December 2001 iii Purpose This handbook contains very important information on the installation, operation, and maintenance of your RAY230 US version or RAY230E European version VHF radio. To get the best results in operation and performance, please take the time to read this handbook thoroughly. RAY230 US Version Raymarine radios comply with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Industry Canada requirements that regulate marine VHF radio usage for the US and Canada, respectively. Marine VHF radio users in the US must comply with all applicable FCC rules and regulations, some of which are described here and in Section 5. This information was current at the time this handbook was printed. [. . . ] In these examples, disabled operation means a handset can only be used to make a Distress Call. Limited operation means a handset can be used to talk on the Intercom, adjust the sound volume, and make a Distress Call.

Handset 1 Handset 2 Handset 3 3. 5. 24 NMEA Operation The RAY230/RAY230E can receive valid position and time information, which are transmitted during a DSC Distress call. This data can be communicated via SeaTalk or NMEA 0183 from a GPS, fishfinder, radar, or any device that outputs or repeats GPS sentences. If the radio does not detect the positional data, it provides different alerts urging you to find and correct the fault or manually input the data using the radio's L/L ENT function, as described in section 3. 5. 30. 3. 2. Current valid positional data, whether from external device or manually input, can be viewed using the NAVSTAT Operation described in section 3. 5. 30. 2. If a GPS device is not connected via SeaTalk or NMEA, the radio emits a 5-second-long staccato alert tone and flashes the NMEA indicator 2 minutes after power up. This occurs every time the unit is turned on. The alarm is required by safety regulations and cannot be disabled. Operations 3-31 Operation at Power Up At power up, the SeaTalk line is monitored for 1 minute. If a signal is detected, the radio determines whether the data is valid. If valid, the data is input, the NMEA indicator is displayed on the LCD of all handsets, and the radio enters normal operation mode. The radio assumes all future data is to be received on SeaTalk, so will not again monitor the NMEA line (until the next time the handset goes through the power up sequence). If no signal is detected on SeaTalk, the radio next monitors the NMEA line for 1 minute.
