NORMAL OPERATION
When a call is placed by a patient on his/her call station, your programmed message
for that room (for example, "Mr. Jones, room 118") is immediately transmitted to the
specified pager(s) (first page) . If the call was placed from a call station that causes the
nurse call light to flash (bathroom emergency call station, for example) your
programmed message will be transmitted immediately to the specified pager(s) and
preceded by "Priority-" (for example, "Priority-Mr. Jones, room 188"). If the call
remains unanswered/ not cancelled long enough to activate the second/repeat page (delay
specified during programming), and the specified delay isn't "0", the second page is sent to
the specified pager(s) after the specified number of minutes has passed and will be repeated
at the specified interval for as long as the call is present.
An "S" will appear on the lower left corner of the LCD when the system is sampling (looking
for calls on the MLS-32L input boards). This indicates normal operation.
PAGER MEMORY
Messages sent to pagers are stored in the memory of the pager. This memory can
become full. When this occurs, older messages are overwritten by new massages. You may
wish to erase messages right after they have been viewed or erase all messages occasionally.
Follow the directions included with the pager.
MAINTENANCE
Alpha-Page is virtually maintenance free. The optional 12V, 7 amp-hour battery used
for power back-up may lose some of its capacity after approximately five years of use. It may
be required at that time to replace the battery to maintain the full 36 hour power back-up
capacity. It is recommended that the 3V lithium battery used for memory back-up (see
drawing C022397-4) be replaced every five years to ensure proper system operation. The
battery is contained in a battery holder and is easily replaceable. Replace with Panasonic type
CR2025 or equivalent (3V, 150mAh, 20 mm diameter).
GENERAL
When power is applied to Alpha-Page, a memory test is conducted. If a problem is
found, "Memory Fail" will appear on the LCD screen.
