FEATURES AND OPTIONS
Quick Monitor
The WatchDog pager allows entering the channel monitor mode (“Quick Monitor”) by
simply depressing the top reset button, holding for 0.75 seconds, then releasing the reset
button. The pager will emit a short beep and automatically begin channel monitoring.
Any traffic on the channel selected by the three position function switch can now be
monitored. If your WatchDog has multi frequency capabilities, channel monitor is active
for the channel selected by the function switch. To exit channel monitoring simply
depress and release the reset switch. The WatchDog will now return to selective call
standby mode.
Audio Lock
The WatchDog “Audio Lock” function allows opening the audio at any time regardless
of the three position function switch. Simply depress the reset switch for approximately
1.5 seconds. The pager will emit a short beep at 0.75 seconds (continue to hold the reset
switch) and you will hear two short beeps at 1.5 seconds. After the two short beeps,
release the reset button and you are in the Audio Lock mode.
Audio Lock mode is useful in lower signal conditions where voice quality (reception)
may be changing due to pager movement. With the audio locked on, you might be able
to move while listening to a message and achieve best position for reception. If your
WatchDog has multi frequency capabilities, then the Audio Lock function is active for
the channel selected by the function switch or in the pager’s display menu.
To exit the Audio Lock mode, simply depress and release the reset switch. The
WatchDog will now return to selective call standby mode.
