It is possible that you may have difficulty receiving
messages in the interior of large urban buildings.
When you arrive in an unfamiliar office, hotel room,
or meeting room, you may want to check the pager's
ability to receive messages in that location. To
determine the likelihood of receiving messages in a
given environment, perform the following steps:
1. Position the pager correctly (refer to «Wearing

2. Press and hold

nearest satellite. To cancel the test, press any
button.

press any button during the test, the test will be
canceled.
