4 Operating levels Basically the pager can be operated in two different modes, the simple and comprehensive mode. The simple mode avoids operating errors made by untrained users or during stress situations, whereby the comprehensive mode allows direct access to all menu functions of the pager. 4.1 Simple mode If the pager changes back to the stand-by mode, it automatically provides the simple mode, if activated.
5 Main menu The main menu is divided in four areas. The key icons, menu icons and function (submenu) icons as well as the function description. Key icons Menu icons Upper key (1) Middle key (2) Lower key (3) Function icons Function description 5.1 Key icons The three key icons on the left side of the display describe the function of the upper key (1), middle key (2)
5.3 Function icons The icons on the last line represent the available functions of the chosen menu on the first line. The chosen icon is displayed inverse. Pressing the lower key (3) moves the selection to the right or to the left according to the arrow on the icon.
6 Description of menu functions On the main menu screen (see chapter 5), a menu and an appropriate function are selected with the upper and lower keys. The chosen icons are displayed inverse. Pressing the middle key (2) activates the selected function and its icon is displayed on the left side, next to the middle key.
If the cursor is located at the symbol of a message, • on the first line, the time and date of receipt of the message is displayed • on the second line, the address name is displayed • on the third line, the first line of the message text is displayed Depending on the configuration of the pager, the first row (time and date) is not displayed on receipt of a message.
6.2 Alert group If a new message has been received, the symbol ! appears and the pager alerts as described in the sections below. Basically there is a differentiation between priority calls and non priority calls. The setting of the alerts allows different acoustic and vibrating alarm dependant on the priority of the message. A different alarm scheme can be configured for each address.
6.3.2 Set alarm clock Setting the alarm clock is done the same way as setting the time. To turn the alarm on (or off), the same steps have to be repeated as during setting, however without changing time and date. The alarm function is repeated daily.
The above listed chargers can only be used for pagers with rechargeable batteries such as NiCd or NiMH. Do not insert a pager with an alkaline battery. For DE516C Ex pagers only Swisspone Telecom in Switzerland is allowed to change the rechargeable battery.
