  • Page 4 Operator License Operator License Operator License Operator 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.
  • Page 5 Your RAY230E can activate the ATIS feature, if needed. You can request an ATIS number from the same agency that issues radio operator licenses in your area. You can then program the ATIS number into your RAY230E using the Menu Operation described in this handbook. If your region does not permit you to program the ATIS number yourself, you can have your distributor program the number for you.
  • Page 6 Your Raymarine VHF radio generates and radiates radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy (EME). This equipment must be installed and operated in accordance with the instructions contained in this handbook. Failure to do so can result in personal injury and/or product malfunction.
