2.3 Wearing the Pager
The pager is supplied with a detachable "Griptite" clip, which is specifically designed to
enable a tight grip-fit when used for "in-pocket", or "belt" applications. The tightness of the
clip may be adjusted by varying the clip slider on the underside of the clip assembly.
An elasticised detachable Lanyard option with a metal retaining clip, is also supplied. This
may be used in conjunction with the "Griptite" clip, or as a separate method of attachment.
2.4 Operation of the Pager
2.4.1 Switching On
To switch the pager on, press the ON/CANCEL/RECALL (OCR) button once. During the
first 0.5 seconds, the pager will emit a short beep-tone, the LED will light, the vibrate
motor operate and all of the segments of the LC display will show. Following this initial
sequence, the LC display will go on to show the pager's address and a switch-on
message. The display backlight will also illuminate for the period of this sequence, which
will last for a total of approximately 8 seconds. Upon completion of the sequence, the
pager will enter quiescent mode and be ready to receive calls.
If the battery is low, the "low battery warning" buzz-tone will additionally modulate the
beep-tone during the initial sequence.
If during the switch-on sequence the pager's EEPROM cannot be read correctly (due to a
fault, or incorrect programming), then the display will show a flashing sequence of
EEEEEEEEEEEEEE. In this instance the functionality of the pager is limited to
engineering mode, absence mode (for re-programming) and OFF.
2.4.2 Switching Off
To switch the pager off, press and hold the ON/CANCEL button and then press the MUTE
button. The pager will display OFF and then switch off after 2 seconds. Once the display
shows OFF, the ON/CANCEL button may be released and it is not possible to stop the
shutdown sequence.
2.4.3 Permanent On
This is an optional programmable mode. The pager will automatically initiate the switch-on
sequence as per Section 2.4.1, when a battery is inserted and remain ON until the battery
is removed.
Should the "switch-off" button sequence (Section 2.4.2) be applied to a permanently ON
pager, it will cause the display to read RESET and the pager will then perform a reset,
followed by the switch-on sequence as per Section 2.4.1.
2.4.4 Display Modes
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 the User's mode of wearing
the pager. To enable this option, press the MUTE button whilst in the status interrogation
mode (see 2.4.6). The new display direction will be held in the pager's non-volatile
memory and thus will be retained, even when the equipment is switched off, until reset.
