Raymarine Ray54E - Manual (Page 30)

20 Ray54E VHF Radio
Weather Alert Operation (If Available)
Weather Alert is toggled ON and OFF by pressing and holding
CLEAR key in
the weather mode. The
ALERT indicator illuminates.
When Weather Alert function is enabled and the radio is tuned to the normal
working channel, the last-used weather channel is checked every four
minutes for weather alert tone. If the alert tone is detected, the
WX and ALERT
indicators flash and an alarm sounds.
The radio automatically turns to the currently-monitored WX channel where
the weather alert has been detected. The alert is detected in all modes of
operation (Standby, Dual and Tri Watch, Scan, etc.)
Note: The Ray54E can receive weather alert broadcasts in the US or Cana-
da only if the unit has been programmed by the distributor to use WX Chan-
nels.
4.7 Selecting the Priority Channel
The Ray54E provides you with a dedicated key for switching to the Priority
Channel 16.
If not already tuned to the Priority Channel 16, press and release the
16/
PLUS key to switch to CH16 at high power.
PRIORITY CH appears in the dot matrix display.
If already on CH 16, press and release the
16/PLUS to return to the last-used
working channel.
Note: When the priority channel is selected, it is always set to HIGH trans-
mit power. You may reduce power if desired by pressing the
HI/LO key.
The
16/PLUS key also can be used to cancel all modes and switch to CH 16.
