PAGER USAGE & C ARE
PRECAUTIONS
Your 2-way pager is a delicate device that can be easily damaged by excessive
vibration, heat, direct sunlight, humidity, dirt, oil and water. Small particles
in a very dirty pocket can also damage the pager over time. Never immerse
your pager in water. If it gets wet, remove the battery and allow to dry. Never
drop your pager. Impact can break the LCD and/or cause the answer-back
functionality to stop working. Rough handling is not covered under warranty!
COMMUNICATION RANGE
Your pager's range is affected by RF noise. Typical in-city range is often
greater than 300m (>985ft), while range in the country can be as high as
600m (2,000ft.). Note that if metal objects (e.g., coins in your pocket) touch
or surround the antenna, range may decrease. Also, close proximity to TV
stations and or powerful mobile phones can also limit range.
RESPONSIVENESS
It can take several seconds before your pager is updated with the current
status of the vehicle (e.g., door open, siren blast, etc.). During this time,
the pager may become less responsive to your button presses. Also, the
pager will not receive updates while you are pressing any button.
LOW BATTERY INDICATOR
A pager battery will last just over 1 month with normal use. When the
icon appears on the LCD, replace the battery. The battery icon may flash
and the pager may beep 6 times when the battery is just about to die. Re-
place the battery soon with a fresh (+)1.5v AAA Alkaline. (Rechargeables
may not work if the voltage is much less than 1.5v.) Also note that leaving
a battery in the pager too long without using it could cause the battery to
leak, resulting in corrosion of the battery contacts and pager malfunction.
