Page 7: Installation Summary
Installation Summary There are four basic steps to installing the RAYCOM Cellular properly. These steps are summarized below and explained in detail in the remainder of this manual. Step 1. Choose an Antenna and its Location • The type of antenna and its location can be one of the biggest factors in your installation. -
Page 8: Step 1. Choose An Antenna And Its Location
Step 1. Choose an Antenna and its Location Your RAYCOM Cellular receives operating commands from the cellular network and relies upon signal strength for proper operation. Therefore, proper loca- tion and installation of the antenna is critical for call quality. -
Page 9: Step 2. Choose An Installation Location And Make The Cable Runs
ON/OFF switch so a separate breaker on your electronics DC panel is recommended. 1) Your RAYCOM Cellular power cord is voltage regulated so that as long as the voltage source supplies 10 to 18VDC, the output of the power cord will be 12VDC. -
Page 10: Step 3. Phone Number Setup
Step 3. Phone Number Setup If your RAYCOM Cellular was not programmed at your place of purchase, you need to contact a cellular provider to set up an account. You will need to tell them that the RAYCOM is an analogue system and works on the AMPS format. - Page 11 Using an ordinary POTS telephone, program your RAYCOM as follows: Step #1 - Pick up the POTS handset and listen for a tone (either a steady dial tone or a beeping no-service tone). Step #2 - Enter the Master-Programming mode by pressing: The dial tone should change to a different, steady “Programming”...

- Page 14 The A-Key is a cellular system solution to prevent cloning, counterfeiting and cellular fraud. It’s a unique, 6- to 26-digit code provided by your service provider that validates your MIN (Mobile Identification Number) and ESN (Electronic Serial Number) before you make or receive calls. Once you’ve entered the A-Key, your RAYCOM automatically verifies the code with the cel- lular provider before every call.

Page 15: Step 4. Install Your Raycom
Step 4. Installation and Connection Now that you have selected the location and have run all of the required cabling, it is time to install the RAYCOM itself. But first let’s make sure all of the connections are good. 1) Screw in the antenna connector to the TNC jack on the RAYCOM, plug in the power connector, and plug in the RJ-11 (phone) plug into the RJ-11 jack on the bottom of the unit. - Page 16 your intended installation. For example, if the unit is being mounted vertically on a bulkhead with the antenna jack pointing upwards, the bracket needs to be installed with the slots pointing upward. NOTE: If the lateral support mount is used, the slotted bracket must be installed on the RAYCOM with the slots pointing in the same direc- tion as the antenna jack.
- Page 17 Your installation is now complete. Apply power to your RAYCOM and insure you have a green LED indicator and that you have dial tone at your POTS tele- phone. Four rubber feet are included with your RAYCOM in the event a desk- top installation is desired but for most marine applications, the unit should be mounted as specified above.
