PROGRAMMING YOUR PAGER

To program the special features on the Quattro, press Button #3 (the Function Button) two times, until you see a screen with several icons (this is the Programming Menu).  The first icon (on the left) will be selected (this is the “escape” icon).  Anytime you want to exit from the programming menu, you can always press Button #4 while the Escape Icon is selected.  This will return you to the Standby Screen.  The icons on the Programming Menu (from left to right) are:  Set Alert, On/Off Pager, Delete All messages, Set Time, Phone Memo, and Display Line.

The second icon on the Programming Menu Screen (to the right of the “Escape” Icon) is the “Set Alert” Icon which when selected, allows you to choose your pager alerts.  From the Programming Screen, press the arrow buttons (buttons #1 or #2) stopping on the second icon, then use button #3 (Function Button) to select that programming feature.  You will then see the “Set Alert” Screen with several icons.  The cursor will be under the first icon, which controls the alert tones/melodies.  Press button #3 again to hear the first alert choice (labeled by 01).  Press the button again to scroll through all the melody choices (labeled 01 through 15):

00        Normal beep

Each of the functions found in the Programming Menu is set up using a similar procedure.  Specific information regarding each function is as follows:

Set Alert:  (see above)

·        Set Alarm:  Same as above.  Select preferred icon (far right) to view when alarm sounds.

·        Set Auto:  Same as above.

·        Set Timer:  The timer function can either count down a preset number of minutes/seconds or act as a stopwatch and count up, stopping on your command.  In this screen, the icon on the left sets this mode; the hourglass icon is the timer and the clock icon is the stopwatch.  You can set the hours, minutes, and seconds using Button #3.  The arrow buttons will move your cursor and Button #3 will start or stop the timer.

·        LCD Contrast:  Use the Arrow Buttons to move the cursor, Button #3 to scroll through the choices and Button #4 to enter the selection.

Phone Memo

The phone memo option is a “digital notebook” that allows you to store messages and numbers in the pager’s memory.  Select the “Phone Memo” icon (the open book icon) and the next screen you will see will display two zeros.  Press button #3 to highlight the zeros.  Using the right arrow button, choose the message number (00-99), press Button #3 to enter the choice.  Press the right arrow button and the message number will change into the Numeric Icon (with 1-2-3- on it).  Now press button #3 and you will see an empty space highlighted.  Press the right arrow button and you can choose the first digit of the number you wish to store.  Press Button #3 to enter your selection.  Continue this process until the number you wish to store is entered.  Additionally, you chan choose to store a message you have received on your pager, in the Phone Memo Directory (see above).

Display Line

Selecting the Display Line Icon can modify the number of lines displayed on screen.  From the Programming menu, select “Display Line”, then press button #3.  Pressing Button #3 toggles the choices between “2 Line Display” and “4 Line Display”.  Stop on the desired display mode and press Button #4 to return to the Programming Menu.

Warning

Do not leave your pager in direct sunlight or in high heat areas (for example, inside a car).  Avoid heavy impact and do not open the case and attempt to make repairs.  Opening the case will void all warranties.  If your pager is not functioning properly, return it to Northern Communications for repair.
