A1010 3 Cabin Segue 110V Original Dated Sept 2006.doc Page 15 of 59
! WARNING
Communication Equipment
Your vessel is equipped with the latest Raymarine Ray 240 VHF Radio with digital
selective calling (DSC). A nine digit maritime mobile service identity (MMSI) number
is required to operate the DSC equipment. This MMSI number can be requested from
the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) at www.fcc.gov or from BoatUS at
www.boatus.com or Maritel at www.maritelusa.com.
Once obtained, you must programme the MMSI number into your Ray 240 as
described in the Ray 240 VHF Radio Owner’s Handbook.
You do not need an FCC ship radio station licence / operator licence if travelling in
US waters. You will need a licence to operate the radio outside of US waters on an
international voyage.
If your vessel is registered in another country you will need to consult the regulatory
authorities of that county regarding license and operational requirements.
Radio Listening Watch
All vessels carrying VHF radio equipment must maintain a radio watch on channel 16
(156.800 MHz) whenever the radio is not being used to communicate. Be sure that
only qualified persons use the radio. Never transmit false distress messages. Never
use profanity on the air.
IT IS UNLAWFUL TO INTENTIONALLY TRANSMIT A FALSE DISTRESS ALERT
OR TO UNINTENTIONALLY TRANSMIT A FALSE DISTRESS ALERT WITHOUT
TAKING STEPS TO CANCEL THAT ALERT.
Distress Call
To send a DSC distress call slide up the cover on the back of the handset labelled
DISTRESS and press and hold the distress key for 5 seconds. After the 5 second
countdown the distress call is automatically sent on channel 70 and a loud alert will
be heard. The radio will automatically monitor for acknowledgement. The distress call
is re-transmitted at 3 – 4 minute intervals until either an acknowledgement is received
or the DSC mode is manually exited by pressing the 16/9 key. Whilst awaiting
acknowledgement on DSC channel 70 you can press the PTT button to communicate
with other vessels on VHF channel 16. When acknowledgement is received on DSC
channel 70 the radio automatically switches to channel 16, press PTT to talk to the
acknowledging station.
To send a VHF distress call:
1) Make sure the radio is on
2) Select channel 16
3) Press and hold the transmit button
5) Clearly say “Mayday, Mayday, Mayday”
6) Give vessel call sign and / or name
7) Give position and / or location of the vessel
8) Describe nature of emergency
9) Indicate number of people on board
10) Indicate intended action or requirement
11) Release transmit button
12) Wait 10 – 20 seconds, if there is no response repeat “Mayday” call.

OWNER’S MANUAL
A1010 3 Cabin Segue 110V Original Dated Sept 2006.doc Page 16 of 59
For other operational and maintenance information refer to the Ray 240 owner’s
handbook and operating chart supplied with your yacht.
EPRIB
It is strongly recommended that all vessels should be equipped with a satellite
EPIRB. EPIRB’s (406 MHz) are designed to quickly and reliably alert rescue
personnel, indicate an accurate distress position and guide rescue units to the
distress scene, even when all other communications fail.
When activated an EPIRB transmits a distress signal via the satellite to the
responsible US Coast Guard or international rescue co-ordination centre. The EPIRB
also transmits an immediate GPS position to the rescue co-ordination centre (RCC).
Mount the EPIRB to float free according to the manufacturer’s instructions. EPIRB
registration is required.
Life Jackets
All recreational craft must carry one wearable coast guard approved Type I, II or III
personal flotation device (PFD’s) for each person on board the vessel. Wearable
PFD’s must be:
•readily accessible
•be in good and serviceable condition
•be the appropriate size for the intended user.
You must also have aboard at least one throwable Type IV PFD.
The Type IV PFD can be thrown to the person in the water and held by them until
rescue. The most common Type IV PFD’s are buoyant, floating cushions, ring buoys
or horse shoe buoys.
Visual Distress Signals
All vessels used on coastal waters and the high seas must be equipped with USCG
approved visual distress signals.
Pyrotechnic devices include
•Red flares, hand held or aerial
•Orange smoke, hand held of floating
•Red meteor or parachute flares
•White hand held flares
The type and quality of flares required must be established according to the
regulations applicable to the area of operation of the vessel, or the requirement of the
country of registration of the vessel.
ALL PYROTECHNIC DEVICES SHOULD BE STORED IN A WELL MARKED
WATERPROOF CONTAINER KEPT IN A DRY LOCATION
Pyrotechnic devices having a date showing the useful service life must be within the
specified usage date indicated. All expired pyrotechnic devices must be replaced.

OWNER’S MANUAL
A1010 3 Cabin Segue 110V Original Dated Sept 2006.doc Page 17 of 59
Non-pyrotechnic devices include
•An orange distress flag which must be a minimum of 3 x 3 feet with a black
square and ball on an orange background
•Electric distress light which automatically flashes the international distress
signal SOS (…- - -…)
•Code flags N (November) & C (Charlie) flown N over C
•US flag flown upside down
•Dye markers
IT IS THE OWNER OR SKIPPER’S RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE THAT
PASSENGERS AND CREW ARE AWARE OF THE LOCATION OF ALL SAFETY
EQUIPMENT AND ARE INSTRUCTED IN THE CORRECT METHODS OF USAGE.
Audible distress signals
US Coast Guard Regulations require at least one audible horn or whistle which is
audible for at least one half mile
Typical audible devices include:
•Power operated horn
•Mouth operated horn
•Whistle
•Bell
Navigation Lights
Recreational vessels are required to display navigation lights between sunset and
sunrise and at other periods of reduced visibility (fog, heavy rain, etc).
Power driven vessels
A yacht under engine power is considered a power driven vessel even with the sails
up.
Power driven vessels must display:
•Mast head light – white light visible in an arc 225° forward.
•Side lights – red light on port bow, green light on starboard bow
•Stern light – white light visible from astern
Sailing vessels not under engine power
Your vessel is equipped with the following lights which must be in operation at night
and during restricted visibility:
•Stern light – white light visible from astern
•Side lights combined – red light on port bow / green light on starboard bow
Anchored Vessels
At night all vessels at anchor must display anchor lights – white around mast head
light.
During daylight all vessels at anchor must display black ball shape where best it can
be seen.
