[. . . ] To clear a channel from memory, select the channel to be cleared using the 5/6 channel keys. The MEM indicator will no longer be shown on the display and a beep tone will confirm that the channel has been erased from memory. To review the memorized channels (Memory Recall), press the MEM key twice. The channels that have been stored into memory will be displayed in sequence on the LCD for review. 3. 3. 4 Memory Reset To clear all channels from memory, and reset the 16plus key to it's factory default channel (CH16), hold the MEM key down while turning the radio ON. 3. 3. 5 All Scan and Memory Scan Modes 1) All Scan Press the SCAN/SEEK key, to activate the All Scan mode. The SCAN indicator will appear on the display and the RAY106 will sequentially scan all of the channels in the selected frequency mode (U. S. , INT, or Canada). If a signal is received, the scanning will stop until the station clears. If the scanning has stopped on a received signal, press the SCAN key again to continue. If the scanning has stopped on a channel with traffic, and you wish to communicate with the other party, press the PTT switch to cancel the SCAN mode and remain on that channel. 2) Memory Scan To scan only the channels that have been stored to memory, press the MEM key and then press the SCAN key while "MEM" is blinking (within 2 seconds). 3. 3. 6 All Seek and Memory Seek Modes 1) All Seek Press and hold the SCAN/SEEK key for 1 second, to activate the All Seek mode. The SEEK indicator will appear on the display and the RAY106 will seek through all of the channels in the selected frequency mode, stopping for 7 seconds on any channel with traffic. If a signal is received, the seek function will stop temporarily, but will resume after 7 seconds regardless of whether or not the station has cleared. If the SEEK mode has found a channel with traffic, and you wish to communicate with the other party, press the PTT switch to cancel the SEEK mode and remain on that channel. 2) Memory Seek To seek only the channels that have been stored to memory, press the MEM key and then press the SEEK key while "MEM" is blinking (within 2 seconds). 3. 3. 7 Monitor Mode The monitor mode consists of the Dual Watch and Tri-Watch functions. 1) Dual Watch Mode To start the Dual Watch mode, select the desired working channel and press the MON key. The MON indicator will appear on the display, and the working channel and the 16plus (priority) channel will be monitored. In the Dual Watch mode, the current channel being monitored will be shown in the large LCD channel segments, and the channel in standby mode will be shown in the small LCD channel segments. 2) Tri-Watch mode To start the Tri-Watch mode, you must first be in the Dual Watch mode, then press the MEM key. In addition to the two channels already being monitored, the last used WX channel will also be monitored for severe weather alert broadcasts. If a weather alert broadcast is detected, the RAY106 will emit an alarm and the WX indicator will begin to blink. The Tri-Watch mode will then be canceled and the radio will switch to the WX channel to monitor the severe weather broadcast. 3. 3. 8 RAY106 Marine Channels and Their Usage Caution : Operation on channels not designated for use by your classification of craft, or in International or Canadian frequency mode while operating in US territorial waters is a violation of FCC Rules and Regulations and may result in severe penalties.

[. . . ] Coast Guard Navigation Port Operations Noncommercial Commercial Marine Operator State Control Environmental Weather Emergency Channel 16 If: Your ship is sinking, or on fire Someone has been lost overboard There exists grave and imminent danger Use this distress procedure: Select Channel 16 Say "Mayday, Mayday, Mayday. " Give call sign and boat name Give location of boat Describe emergency If no answer, repeat; then try and other channel Caution: Ever ship at sea is obliged to give absolute priority to radio communications relating to ships distress-it is vital that false distress calls or messages not be broadcast. Calling Channel 16 & Working Channel If-you wish to establish communications with another station And-you know which working channel the station is monitoring Then-initiate the call directly on that working channel If-you wish to establish communications with another station And-you do not know what working channel the station may be monitoring Then-initiate the call on channel 16. NOTE: Due to congestion on channel 16 caused by frequent hailing of other vessels, the FCC has approved channel 9 as a second hailing channel. Avoid excessive calling and radio checks Always monitor before transmitting Never interrupt emergency communications Monitoring Channel 16 & working Channel When-your VHF station is turned on and it is not being used to exchange communications You Must-monitor channel 16 As an operating convenience, many stations employ a second receiver so that they can monitor a working channel and channel 16 simultaneously.
