Operation and use

Batteries - It uses AA batteries. Either standard alkaline, Ni-cad, or NiMH. Charger - The pager has a smart charging system. The pager knows how much charge each battery type needs and adjusts the battery status indicator accordingly. Dry cells will be identified and will not be charged.
Battery Status Indicator - Shows the level of the battery by a bar graph. As the battery is used the indicator goes down, so you always know how long your battery will last. Once less than 10% of the battery life remains the pager begins a reminder chirp and flashes the battery indicator. Switch on/off - When a battery is inserted the pager will automatically turn on. To turn the pager on/off manually both buttons must be held down for about 4 seconds. When turning off, the pager begins a audible beeping countdown (about 4 seconds), with a loud unique chirp as the pager shuts off. This prevents accidental shut down of the pager.
Keys - The pager has two keys located on the top corners of the housing. The keys are designed in such a way that it's easy to push them wearing gloves but hard to accidentally push them during normal handling of the pagers. Alerts - The pager can hold 16 alert addresses. Each address can be programmed to sound different, so there can be no confusion as to which alert was sent. This also can work in conjunction with the display indicator to further indicate who the alert was for (see below).
Display - The LCD display has many uses:
  • The symbols across the top show the current mode of operation: Alert - MiniBeep - Vibrate. In addition it shows if your in monitor mode or in non-monitor.
  • Along the right side there are arrows that point to a removable menu that you can customize (Example: if the Chiefs tone is alerted the 1st arrow will turn on pointing to the "Chief". Or for example if the ambulance is alerted then the 3rd arrow points to "Ambulance" or whatever you write on the menu)
  • At the bottom right there is a slanted bar that indicated the volume level. It has 4 levels.
  • The "Envelope" symbol is used with Voice Storage, it indicates you have a message in memory.
  • The "Y" antenna symbol indicated the field strength of the reception. If you go out of range the antenna symbol starts to flash. This only works on systems with cyclical transmission sensing.
  • Illuminated background for night time operation
