User Information
TURNING YOUR PAGER ON
Press the green button. Your pager will alert and show the ON indicator in the upper left hand corner of the display (small circle). The time and date appear at the bottom of the display.
RECEIVING AND READING YOUR MESSAGES
When receiving a message, your pager alerts and displays the incoming message symbol p. Press any button to stop the alert. Press the green button to display your message. The flashing arrow at the bottom right corner of the screen indicates the message you received continues beyond the first two lines of the display. Each time you press the green button, it advances the message to the next two lines. Press and hold the green button to rapidly scroll through your message.
Your pager automatically stores the message, along with the time and date your message was received. If more than one message exists in your pager’s memory, press the t or u directional arrow buttons to select the message you wish to read. The arrow symbol é indicates the location of your message in memory. Press the green button to display your message.
A flashing symbol indicates a message has been received, but has not yet been read. If programmed with reminder alerts, your pager beeps at predetermined intervals to remind you of an unread message.
USING THE FUNCTION MENU
Press the red button to display the function menu. The function menu gives you access to the many features of your pager through a series of icons and prompts. For example, when the function menu screen first displays, the “TURN OFF” icon ( with a line through it) flashes when this menu item first appears. Press the red button again to turn your pager off.
BACKLIGHTING
To view your display in low light conditions, turn on your pager’s backlight by pressing and holding the red button for 1.5 seconds. If no further buttons are pressed, the backlight automatically turns off when the display goes blank. You can also turn off the backlight by pressing and holding the red button for 1.5 seconds.
LOCKING AND UNLOCKING MESSAGES
Up to 10 messages can be “locked” in memory, preventing them from being replaced when your pager’s memory is full or from being deleted if the “DELETE ALL” function is chosen. Press the green button. Select the message you wish to lock by using the t or u directional buttons. Press the red button to display the function menu. Press the u button to move the cursor to the “LOCK MSG” icon. Press the red button to lock the message. The padlock icon appears, indicating the message has been locked. To unlock a locked message, use the same procedure outlined above.
SETTING THE CLOCK
While in the function menu, move the cursor left to the “SET TIME” icon ¹ by pressing the t button. Press the red button to display the “SET TIME” screen. The cursor flashes in the hour position. The t increments the flashing digits. This is defined by the + icon shown on the display above the button. Advance to the desired hour by pressing the t button. Move the cursor to the minute field by pressing the u button. Repeat the process for each field hour, minute, AM/PM/24 hr., day/month/year. Press the red button to initiate the change. If you move your cursor past the last field in the row (far right), it automatically wraps around and appears at the first function icon in the row (far left). NOTE: To escape from any field without making any changes, press the green button.
SETTING THE ALERT PATTERN
Press the red button to display the function menu. Press the t button to move the cursor to the alert icon (musical note). Press the red button to display the “SET ALERT” screen.

SETTING THE ALERT MODE (SILENT/AUDIBLE)
Press the red button to display the function menu. Press the u button to move the cursor to the “AUDIBLE MODE” or “SILENT MODE” icon. The “AUDIBLE MODE” icon (speaker symbol) appears if the pager is in the silent alert mode (prompting you to enter that mode, if desired). The “SILENT MODE” icon (speaker with a line through it) appears if the pager is in the audible mode (prompting you to enter that mode, if desired). Press the red button to select the desired alert. If the selected mode is audible, your pager emits a short “chirp”. If the selected mode is silent, your pager vibrates.
SETTING THE ALARM
Press the red button to display the function menu. Press the t button to move the cursor to the “SET ALARM” icon. Press the red button to display the set alarm screen. When the screen first appears, the cursor is at the left-most position. This icon defines the alarm status: either alarm enabled (bell symbol) or disabled (bell with a line through it). Press the t button to increment or toggle between alarm enabled and disabled. Press the u button to move the cursor to the hour field. Repeat the process for each field (hour, minute). Press the red button to make the change. The alarm indicator icon (bell symbol) appears if an alarm has been set. At the selected time, your pager either vibrates or emits a unique eight second alert, depending on the alert mode. NOTE: To escape from any field without making any changes, press the green button.
SETTING THE AUTO ON/OFF FUNCTION
Press the red button to display the function menu. Press the t button to move the cursor to the “AUTO ON/OFF” icon. Press the red button to display the AUTO ON/OFF screen. When the screen first appears, the cursor appears at the left-most position. This icon defines the AUTO ON/OFF status: either enabled or disabled. Press the t button to increment or toggle between AUTO ON/OFF enable/disable. Press the u button to move the cursor to the hour field. The auto ON time is shown on the left and the auto OFF time is shown on the right. Repeat the process for each field for both the ON time and the OFF time (hour, minute, and AM/PM if your pager is set to display time in the 12 hour mode). Press the red button to activate the AUTO ON/OFF function. The indicator displays in the upper left-hand corner of the display if the AUTO ON/OFF function has been enabled. If the ON time is equal to the OFF time, the AUTO ON/OFF function is not enabled. NOTE: To escape from any field without making any changes, press the green button.
DELETING MESSAGES FROM MEMORY
You can clear or delete an unlocked message from memory while you are viewing it, or through the function menu. Select the message you wish to delete from memory by pressing the t or u buttons to the desired memory position. Press the red button to display the function menu. Press the u button to move the cursor to the “DELETE MSG” icon. Press the red button to receive confirmation of delete request. Press the red button to delete the message. If you wish to delete all the unlocked messages from memory, move the cursor within the function menu screen to the “DELETE ALL” icon and press the red button twice.
OTHER FEATURES
- Low Battery Alert: A low battery icon appears in place of the date at the onset of low battery conditions. An audible low battery alert is also heard at that time.
- Duplicate Message: If the same message is received more than once, “DUPLICATE” appears at the beginning of your new message to indicate that your message has already been received. Your new message will contain the latest time stamp.
- Out of Range: Whenever you are too far away from your paging system’s transmitter to reliably receive messages, your pager displays an “OUT OF RANGE” message and an out-of-range icon (antenna symbol).
BATTERY INFORMATION
