- Page 2 *** NOTICE *** The Alpha-Page digital pager interface system is an extremely reliable system for sending nurse call and other alarm messages to pocket pagers. The system sends messages to your pager(s) using a relatively high power radio signal. This signal has considerable range and has the ability to reject radio "noise" which could corrupt the message being sent.
- Page 3 INTRODUCTION Alpha-Page is a nurse call monitoring system designed to instantly send user programmed messages to alphanumeric pocket pagers. The system is stand-alone, it does not require a computer or any other equipment. Alpha-Page is designed to interface to systems utilizing a call wire (annunciator wire) per room (or patient).

Programming is accomplished by placing a programming jumper over stake-pin pair 1-8 on the MLS-32L board (refer to drawing C022397-3). Later, you will program each input with its own message. When programming messages, inputs are identified on the liquid crystal display (LCD) as input 001- input 256.

Use the <tab> key to move the cursor from the message field to the pager field. Pagers are factory programmed with one or more 7 digit "capcodes." Factory programmed capcodes are printed on the back of each pager.
