USAlert WatchDog Voice
Pager
The USAlert WatchDog is a 2-Tone Voice pager specifically developed for the public safety market to alert firemen and other
emergency personnel monitoring or responding to time critical emergency situations. Operational in the VHF or UHF
frequency bands, the pager is fully synthesized and comes in both wideband and true narrowband models. With separate
receiver boards for wideband and narrowband operation, the pager is not only narrowband capable, it is narrowband
compliant. 15 individual addresses are available on each channel, 10 standard 2-Tone addresses and 5 long tone addresses.
The pager is designed for harsh and rugged environments, has a very loud and clear audio output, and is easy to operate.
Holding an IP66 certification, the highest IP rated pager on the market today, the WatchDog is protected against dust and high
pressure jets of water from all directions.
The WatchDog pager ships with "AAA" sized rechargeable NiMH batteries and a charger. Standard "AAA" Alkaline batteries
can also be used with this product if desired. A battery charger with an antenna to extend the range of message reception is
available as an option. All pagers come with a standard 2 year warranty, an optional 5 year warranty and are built in the USA.
A free 30 day demo unit is available upon request.

WATCHDOG PAGER CONTROLS AND FUNCTIONS

On / Off and Volume Control

The On / Off Volume Control is located on the top of the pager and allows turning the pager on or off. The control also
provides a continuous adjustment for the audio and alert levels, providing the alert is not programmed for the maximum
volume setting.

The 3-Position Function Switch is located on the top of the pager in the center. Each position can be individually programmed
for the desired channel and type of alerting. Scan is only selectable in switch position two.

The Reset Button is located on the top of the pager and is typically used to reset the audio and put the pager back into the
standby mode. It can also be used to place the pager into the "quick monitor" or "audio lock on" mode of operation. Depress
the reset button and release in less than .75 seconds and the pager will return to the standby mode. Press and hold for .75
but less than 1.5 seconds and the pager will enter monitor mode. Press for more than 1.5 seconds and the audio will lock on
