RAY230 & RAY230E Fixed Mount VHF Radio Ownerís Handbook Document number: R49006_1 Date: May 2001 iii PURPOSEPURPOSE PURPOSEPURPOSE 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 VersionRAY230 US Version RAY230 US VersionRAY230 US Version 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 7. This information was current at the time this handbook was printed. Up- to-date information, including licensing requirements, can be obtained on the FCC website at: www.fcc.gov/wtb/marine FCC NOTICEFCC NOTICE FCC NOTICEFCC NOTICE FCC NOTICE This device complies with PART 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the conditions that this device does not cause harmful interference. Changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved in writing by Raymarine, Incorporated could violate compliance with FCC rules and void the operator’s authority to operate the equipment. Station LicenseStation License Station LicenseStation License Station License An FCC Ship Radio Station License and Call Sign are not required for most recreational vessels travelling in US waters. However, you must obtain a license if: (1) you are required by law or treaty to carry a radio on your vessel; (2) your vessel travels to foreign ports; (3) you use marine radio equipment on board your vessel other than marine VHF radios, any type of Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon (EPIRB), any type of radar, GPS or LORAN receivers, depth finders, CB radio, or amateur radio (an amateur license is required). Ships that use MF/HF single side-band radio, satellite communications, or telegraphy must continue to be licensed by the FCC. You can obtain a Station License by completing FCC Form 605 and mailing it with the required fee to: Federal Communications Commission 1270 Fairfield Road Gettysburg, PA 17325-7245 iv Operator LicenseOperator License Operator LicenseOperator License Operator License An Operator License is not required to operate a VHF Marine Radio within US territorial waters. However, a license is required to operate the radio if you dock in a foreign port (including Canada and Mexico) or leave a foreign port to dock in a U.S. port. You can request a Restricted Radiotelephone Operator Permit from the FCC by filing Form 753. Maritime Mobile Service Identity (MMSI)Maritime Mobile Service Identity (MMSI) Maritime Mobile Service Identity (MMSI)Maritime Mobile Service Identity (MMSI) Maritime Mobile Service Identity (MMSI) A nine-digit Maritime Mobile Service Identity (MMSI) number is required to operate the DSC equipment in this radio. You can request an MMSI number from the FCC when you apply for a Station License. If your vessel does not require a license, you may obtain an MMSI by contacting either BoatUS (www.boatus.com) or MariTEL (www.maritelusa.com). Once obtained, you can program the MMSI number into your RAY230 using the Menu Operation described in this handbook. INDUSTRY CANADAINDUSTRY CANADA INDUSTRY CANADAINDUSTRY CANADA INDUSTRY CANADA You do not need a license to operate this radio within sovereign waters of Canada or the US. You will need a license to operate this radio outside of Canada or the US. To obtain Industry Canada licensing information, contact the nearest field or regional office, or write: Industry Canada Radio Regulatory Branch Attention: DOSP 300 Slater Street Ottawa, Ontario Canada, KIA OC8 The following information about the radio is required to complete the license application: Industry Canada Type Approval________ FCC Type NumberPJ5RAY230 FCC Type AcceptedPart 80 Output Power1 watt (low) & 25 watts (high) Modulation16FE (FM) Frequency Range156.025-157.425 v RAY230E European VersionRAY230E European Version RAY230E European VersionRAY230E European Version RAY230E European Version The RAY230E is a VHF radiotelephone that includes equipment for Class “D” Digital Selective Calling. It is intended for general communication within the Maritime Mobile Service worldwide and is for use on non- SOLAS vessels. Compliance InformationCompliance Information Compliance InformationCompliance Information Compliance Information The Declaration of Conformity to EC standards for radio equipment appears on page vii. LicenseLicense LicenseLicense License Regulations in some regions require that you obtain an operator license before operating VHF radio equipment. It is your responsibility to determine whether a license is required in your area before operating this equipment. Maritime Mobile Service Identity (MMSI)Maritime Mobile Service Identity (MMSI) Maritime Mobile Service Identity (MMSI)Maritime Mobile Service Identity (MMSI) Maritime Mobile Service Identity (MMSI) An MMSI number is required to operate the Digital Selective Calling (DSC) equipment in this radio. In some areas, a radio operator license is required before an MMSI number will be issued. You can request an MMSI number from the same agency that issues radio operator licenses in your area. You can then program the MMSI number into your RAY230E using the Menu Operation described in this handbook. If your region does not permit you to program the MMSI number yourself, your distributor can program the number for you.
