The Bravo Classic Numeric Pager

TURNING YOUR PAGER ON AND OFF

A three-position button is located on the side of the pager.  The bottom position is the “off” position.  The middle position is the “vibrate/silent” position.  The top position is the “audible beep” position. 

To turn the pager on, the button is slid to the middle (silent) or top (audible) position, depending on the type of alert you choose to have at the time.  The pager tests itself, and the clock becomes visible on the screen.

To turn the pager off, slide the button to the bottom position.  The screen goes blank.  It is a good idea to turn the pager off when it is not needed, as this will greatly improve battery life.

TURNING ON THE BACKLIGHT

Press the ON/OFF switch to turn on the backlight for easy viewing in low-light conditions.

SETTING THE TIME

To set the time, press the ¤ button until “SET TIME” is displayed, then press the é button.  The hours digit begins to blink.

n    Set the hours digits by pressing the é button until the correct hour is displayed along with the appropriate “A” for A.M. or “P” for P.M. symbol.  Keep pressing the é button to cycle through the hours from A.M. to P.M.  When the correct hour (A.M. or P.M.) is displayed, press the ¤ button to advance to the minutes digit.

n    The first digit of the minutes begins to blink.  Press the é button to change the first digit of the minutes.  Press the ¤ button to advance to the second digit of the minutes.  Press the é button to change the second digit of the minutes.  Press the ¤ button one more time to leave the time setting function.

n    All portions of the time-of-day screen, except the colon ( : ) stop blinking.  The clock is now set and the pager is in the standby mode.

RECEIVING AND READING YOUR MESSAGES

When a message is received, the pager gives an audible or vibrate alert for eight seconds.  The alert automatically stops, or you can reset the pager by pressing any of its buttons.

To read your message, press the é button.  The first screen of your message is displayed.  To “freeze” your message, press and hold the é button while viewing it.  The pager automatically advances to the next screen of the message, or you can view it by pressing the é button.  The continuation symbol (u) indicates there are additional screens.

The screen following your message is the timestamp screen.  It shows the time the message was received and the message slot number (the order that the message was received).  The pager returns to the standby mode.

LOCKING A MESSAGE

To lock a message (protect it from being overwritten or erased), press the ¤ button while the message or timestamp screen is displayed.  A lock symbol is displayed in the upper, right-hand corner of the screen to indicate the message is locked.  Up to five messages can be locked in memory.

To unlock a message, follow the procedure used to lock it.  The lock symbol disappears from the message and the timestamp screens.

ERASING MESSAGES

The “Erase All” function deletes all read, unwanted messages from memory.  To erase messages, press the ¤ key until “ERASE ALL” is displayed, then press the é button.  All read, unlocked messages are removed from memory.  All unread and locked messages are moved to the first memory slots and carry the new message slot number.  Note:  You must read a message before it can be erased.

STANDARD FEATURES

Time of Day/Standby Screen:  The time of day is displayed while the pager is in the standby mode.

Time Stamp:  The time of day that each message was received is displayed on a separate screen following the message.

Memory Capacity:  The pager can store up to 16 messages or a total of 160 characters.  Individual messages can be up to 10 characters in length.

Message Protect/Lock:  Up to five individual messages can be locked in memory so they will not be overwritten by new messages or discarded during the “Erase All” function.

Hold Full Indicator:  You can selectively protect up to five messages by locking them in memory.  When an attempt to lock more than five messages is made, “HOLD FULL” is displayed for two seconds indicating the message cannot be protected.

Reminder Chirp:  When an unread message is stored in memory, the pager gives a reminder chirp (short beep) every two minutes.  Vibrate models emit a short vibration in lace of the chirp when in the SILENT mode.

Automatic Reset:  If you do not reset your pager during an alert, it automatically resets after eight seconds.

Master Reset:  Pressing the ON/OFF switch resets the pager and causes the pager to return to the standby mode.

Duplicate Message:  Incoming messages are compared to messages stored in memory.  If a new message is identical to a message in memory, “DUPLICATE” is displayed at the beginning of the message.  The new timestamp follows the duplicate message.

Low Battery Indicator:  When the battery nears the end of its life, the standby screen (time of day) is replaced with “LOW CELL”.  The battery must be replaced within a few days to avoid interruption of pager operation.

Tone Only:  The message “TONE ONLY” is displayed when a message is received without data.  It is usually an indication of a call to the pager where the caller simply hangs up without sending data.

Unread Message Counter:  When unread messages exist, the standby screen is replaced by the unread message indicator.  The unread message indicator displays the number of messages that have not been read, and is updated anytime a message is received (except if message duplication occurs).  If the é button is pressed and there are no messages in memory “NO PAGES” is displayed.

Memory Full Indicator:  If 16 messages, or 160 characters, are stored in memory, “MEMORY FULL” is displayed in place of the standby screen.  A new message causes the oldest (first) unlocked, read message to be overwritten.  When some or all of the read messages are erased, the pager returns to the standby mode.

Overflow Indicator:  When the number of unread messages is greater than the number of available memory slots (16), “OVERFLOW” replaces the unread message indicator.  “OVERFLOW” indicates that the oldest (first) unread message has been deleted from memory by a more recent message.

Erase All:  All read, unlocked messages can be deleted from memory using the “Erase All” function.

Backlighted Display:  Press the ON/OFF switch for backlight in low-light conditions.

Freeze Screen:  When reading a message, you can “freeze” it on the screen by pressing and holding down the é button.

Silent:  When in the SILENT mode, the pager does not give an audible alert.

BATTERY INFORMATION

Your Bravo Classic pager is designed to operate with a single AA size alkaline batter. 

Installing the Battery:

n    Locate the ribbed lock on the button of the pager.  Slide the lock toward the back cover to expose the red marking.

n    While pressing on the recess of the battery door, slide the door in the direction of the arrow until it pops up from the housing.

n    Insert the battery so the polarity markings (+ and -) match the markings on the back cover.  Insert the battery.

n    Place the straight edge of the battery door halfway over the ribbed lock.  Press down on the end of the door nearest the battery, and slide the door to its completely closed position.

n    After the cover is closed, slide the lock toward the front of the pager to conceal the red marking.

NOTE:  When replacing the battery, all messages and the time of day are lost.  Remember to reset your pager’s time of day.

CLEANING YOUR BRAVO CLASSIC PAGER

To clean the exterior of your pager, use a soft, non-abrasive cloth moistened in a mild soap and water solution.  Use a second cloth moistened in clean water to wipe the surface clean.  Do not immerse in water.  Do not use alcohol or other cleaning solutions.
