Raymarine RayMic Wireless Handset, For Ray63/73/90/91, IPX6/IPX7, Inductive Charging Holster

Overview

The Raymarine A80544 is a RayMic wireless handset with an inductive charging holster for adding a remote VHF station to compatible Raymarine Ray63, Ray73, Ray90, and Ray91 systems. It gives the helm, cockpit, flybridge, or another working area on board access to VHF radio control without running a handset cable back to the main radio location.

The handset communicates over a 2.4 GHz wireless link through the Raymarine wireless hub and can also connect to a Raymarine wireless active speaker. It is rated IPx6 and IPx7 for water protection, has a rechargeable 2000 mAh lithium-ion battery, and supports up to 8 hours of talk time or 100 hours on standby from a full charge.

The charging holster uses wireless inductive charging, so there is no charging port to plug in on the handset. The holster runs from a 12 V DC supply with a 10.2 V to 16 V operating range and should be protected with a 2 A inline fuse or thermal breaker.

Compatibility and system integration

This handset is for use with Raymarine Ray63, Ray73, Ray90, and Ray91 VHF systems. A Raymarine wireless hub is required to create the wireless handset station, and Ray63 or Ray73 installations also require the wireless hub adaptor cable. A wireless active speaker can be paired with each handset where a separate audio point is needed.

For a clean installation, the charging holster should be mounted where the handset can be reached quickly and returned to charge after use. Common positions include the main helm, a second helm station, a cockpit communication point, or a protected area near the companionway on a sailboat.

Installation and power

The charging holster mounts with the supplied screws and connects to the vessel 12 V DC supply. For Ray63 and Ray73 installations, the holster power cable can be routed through a 6.5 mm cable hole when a concealed feed is preferred. The selected location should be tested before final mounting so the wireless link, handset access, and charging position all work properly.

Because the holster is the charging point, it should be positioned where the handset can stay seated securely between uses but still be grabbed quickly during docking, deck work, fishing, or watch changes. The 10.2 V to 16 V operating range makes it suitable for standard 12 V marine electrical systems when protected by the required 2 A fuse or breaker.

Use cases on board

This wireless handset is a strong fit for boats where the fixed VHF radio is mounted away from the place people actually communicate from. It is useful on flybridge cruisers, center consoles, pilothouse boats, sailboats with cockpit watch positions, and vessels where crew need VHF access without leaving the helm or deck.

It is also helpful for refits where pulling a new wired handset cable would mean opening panels, routing through tight chases, or working around finished joinery. The wireless setup keeps the installation cleaner while still giving the user a practical VHF control point at the station that matters.
