I
I
Congratulations on your purchase, of Raytheon RAY100 handheld marine radiotelephone. The
RAY100 is a CPU-controlled, digitally synthesized, compact handheld transceiver, that pro-
I
1
vides reliable simplex and duplex (two-frequency) communications between ships at sea and
from ships at sea to public or private shore stations. The RAY100 provides two-way communi-
I
cations on all U.S., International, and Canadian channel Marine band frequencies, plus
1Ition on 10 separate weather channels.
This manual describes the physical and functional characteristics of the radiotelephone.

Charging the NiCad Battery Pack
Although some voltage may be measured on the NiCad battery pack initially, it must be fully charged before normal use.
1)
Insert the radio with the battery pack attached into the battery charger.
2)
Connect the AC wall adapter into a standard I IOVAC wall outlet.
3)
A typical time to recharge the battery pack can be up to 15 hours. Normal operating time will be an average of 6 to 6 hours on a fully charged battery. To conserve battery life, use
the low (1 W) power setting when using the radio for primarily short range communications.

OPERATIONS
3.1 INTRODUCTION
Your RAY100 has the capability to transmit on all legally available Marine VHF radiotelephone channels. There are channels that are FCC approved but may only be used by authorized sta­tions for specific purposes, depending on the type of vessel (commercial or non-commercial). Carefully review section 3.3.7 which lists all of the marine VHF channels available in your RAY100 for U.S., International, and Canadian radiotelephone use. Full familiarization with this table is essential when selecting your channels. The U.S. channels are those channels autho-
rized for use in the U.S. by the FCC. The international frequencies were agreed upon by the attending countries at the 1966 International Telecommunication Union meeting in Geneva and are in active use around the world.
3.2
CONTROLS AND LCD DISPLAY
Refer to Figure 3-1 for familiarization with the controls and display modes.
3.2.1 Controls
1) VOLUME Control (On/Off) Turns the radio On and controls the Volume of the audio output from the speaker.
2) SQUELCH Control Allows the user to “quiet” the receiver when no signals are being received.
3) PTT (Push-To-Talk) Switch When pressed puts the radio into the transmit mode, and “TX” is displayed on the LCD.
4) SCAN I MEM Key
0 When pressed, puts the radio into the All scan or Memory scan mode. In this mode, the
radio scans through the channels, stopping when radio traffic is detected, then resumes scanning after the traffic ceases. and you wish to continue, press the SCAN I MEM key again to continue scanning.
0 When pressed and held for 1 second, the present channel will be programmed into
memory, or will be cleared from memory. The radio will beep to confirm when channels are being stored or cleared from memory.

3.3 OPERATING PROCEDURES
Specific operating procedures for the regarding correct marine channel usage may be found in the Appendix section. Refer to the Control section 3.2.1 beginning on page 9 for a thorough description of all RAY100 functions.
3.3.1 Turning the Power On
1) Rotate the ON/OFF/Volume control clockwise to turn the radio on. Continue rotating the knob clockwise and set it at approximately the midpoint of it’s range.
2)
Rotate the SQUELCH control fully counterclockwise. (Background noise will be heard.)
3)
Set the VOLUME control to the desired listening level.
4)
Rotate the SQUELCH control slowly clockwise until the background noise in the speaker
ceases.
5)
When the power is initially turned on, the priority channel

Initial
communication
contacts are usually made over channel 16 as all ships and shore stations monitor this channel, then a shift to a worklng channel will be necessary.
8 In certain US harbors and on certain channels, the FCC requires the
power to be
limited to 1 watt. On these “required” channels, the radio automatically selects the 1 watt power output setting when the channel is selected.
8 The RAY100 is designed to meet the new FCC Rules Part 60.203, which states. if
the Push-To Talk (PTT) switch is
