1. GENERAL USER INFORMATION
Radio Reception
Your pager has been designed to give optimum performance
within the coverage area of the transmitting system. As with
any radio system, there may be areas of poor coverage where
signal reception may be sporadic, or non-existent. If
necessary, consult your system administrator in order to
familiarise yourself with these areas.
Hazardous Areas
Standard versions of this pager should not be taken into areas
where explosive gas, or dust products, may be present.
Intrinsically Safe versions are available for use in such
environments, details of which may be obtained from your
distributor, or direct from Multitone.
Pager Care
Protect your pager from liquids, extreme temperatures and
strong magnetic fields. Do not leave your pager exposed to
strong sunlight e.g. on a car dashboard, or a window sill.
Servicing
Should your pager need repair, return it to the designated
service agent, or Multitone Electronics. Do not attempt to open
or repair the product, as it contains delicate components and
requires specialised test equipment. Repairs should only be
performed by qualified personnel, in authorised workshops.
Wearing Your Pager
Your pager is supplied with a detachable clip, which is
specifically designed to enable a grip-fit when used for ‘in-
pocket’, or ‘belt’ applications. An elasticised detachable
Lanyard option with a metal retaining clip is also supplied.

This may be used in conjunction with the clip, or as a separate
method of attachment.

3. SWITCHING ON
To switch on your pager, press the ON/Cancel/Recall (OCR)
button once. The pager will emit a short beep and enter a self-
test routine, which will activate the LED, message display and
vibrate motor. The pager will then display its address and any
optional switch-on message that has been programmed. At
the end of this sequence, the display will blank and the pager
will enter its quiescent mode ready to receive calls, showing
either: -
no time, or time of day
If your pager is programmed with the Permanent ON option,
then the switch-on sequence will be automatically initiated
when a battery is fitted.

4. SWITCHING OFF
To switch your pager OFF, first press and hold the MUTE
button and then press and hold the OCR button. The pager
will sequence to "OFF" and then switch itself off after
approximately 2 seconds. If either, or both, buttons are
released and repressed, the timeout sequence will continue.
If your pager is programmed with the Permanent ON option,
then it can only be switched off by removing the battery.
5. DISPLAY OPTIONS
The Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) is a 14 character full
alphanumeric device, which in the quiescent state is always
active and will show the highest priority status information
(without backlight). Where time is enabled as an option, this
will be displayed.
Display reversal: - The displayed text may be inverted, to suit
your method of wearing the pager. To enable this option from
the quiescent screen, press the OCR button to display the
status prompt and then press the MUTE button to reverse the
display. The new display direction will be held in the pager's
memory and retained, even when the equipment is switched
off, until you reset it.
6. RECEIVING A CALL
Your pager is capable of receiving tone, alphanumeric and
speech calls. When a call is received, firstly the red ‘alert’ LED
will flash and then an "alert tone" sound. Additionally if the
option is selected, the pager will also vibrate. This alert
sequence may be terminated at any time, by pressing the
CANCEL button.
A message will be displayed for all types of call, the end of
which will be denoted by the ** symbol. Initially any message
is displayed without a backlight, until any button is pressed.

Any messages retrieved from the memory, will also be pre-
fixed by either a "time stamp", or a message number,
depending upon your system (see also Section 7).
Tone Only Calls
When used with Multitone MK6/7 code formats, your pager will
receive up to 8 different tone calls, each with a distinctive
beep alert pattern. For each call received, the pager will
display a tone call number for the duration of the alert. If the
alert is cancelled by pressing the OCR button, then the call
data will be displayed for a further 2.5 seconds.
Example of a tone call with a time stamp; on beep code 3,
received at 12.00 noon: -
+
Example of a tone call with an M (message) number: -
+
Alphanumeric Message Calls
Your pager may receive alphanumeric messages of up to 120
characters in length. When a call is received with an
alphanumeric message attachment, if the total length of the
message plus the stamp (time or message number) is less
than 14 characters, then the whole of the message will be
displayed for the length of the alert period, unless cancelled. If
the alert is cancelled, then the message will be displayed for a
further 2.5 seconds, with the backlight on.
Example of message less than 14 characters in length: -
If a received message is longer than 14 characters, then it is
broken into several segments of up to 14 characters in length.
These segments are then scrolled through automatically

during the alert period, each being displayed for 1.25 seconds
except for the final screen, which is shown for 2.5 seconds.
This process is then repeated until the end of the alert period,
but if the call is cancelled before this time, the message will be
scrolled through again from the beginning and pause on the
final screen.
Example of a message larger than 14 characters: -
If a call is cancelled during the alert period, the MUTE button
may be used to review the message and to speed-up, or slow-
down, the viewing process. If MUTE is pressed and held, the
message is held at the current screen; releasing MUTE
causes the next screen to be displayed. If MUTE is pressed
and released during the final message screen, then the
display will revert to the first part of the message and the
whole message viewing process may be repeated.
Speech Calls
When receiving any call that has a speech message attached,
your pager will activate the alert sequence. This sequence will
include the flashing LED together with the alert tone at normal
volume, for a period of 4 seconds and additionally the display
of any alphanumeric message and/or call time/number data.
After 4 seconds, the speech channel will automatically open
and the spoken message will be heard.
The speech channel will close again automatically at the end
of a pre-determined time, or upon the receipt of a speech
termination signal, depending upon your system.
If during the 4 second alert period the OCR button is pressed,
it will terminate the call and a further press will terminate the
speech. If the OCR button is pressed again within the speech
time-out period, the speech channel will be re-opened.
