Care and Preventative Maintenance 

For  the  most  part,  your  M1503  is  small  and  self-contained  and  requires  little  in  the  way  of  preventative  maintenance.  
However, there are some simple steps you can take to keep your pager in good working order for years to come. 

6.1

 

Cleaning 

In clinical environments, The M1503 should be cleaned periodically with a disposable, low-alcohol wipe, such as PDI 

Sani-

Cloth Plus

.  Alcohol-free products, or products with high alcohol content, will tend to fog the display lens over time.  The 

M1503 should be cleaned on a schedule comparable to other personal communications devices such as phones or tablet 
computers,  depending  on  hospital  and  unit  policy  and  procedure.    Care  should  be  taken  not  to  rub  the  product  label 
vigorously, to avoid removing serial number and barcode information. 
 
In non-clinical environments, the M1503 should be kept generally clear of dust and debris using a dry dust rag or paper 
towel.  Special care should be taken to clear the front of the pager of lose debris, so that the lens is not scratched when 
inserting and removing the pager from the holster. 
 
Under no circumstances should the M1503 be immersed in water or cleaned with a wet cloth.  Water can easily enter the 
device and damage the internal circuitry and components. 

6.2

 

Use of Holster and Lanyard 

Excessive  drops may  damage  or  reduce  the performance  of your  pager,  and  should  be avoided.   Use  of  the  holster  and 
lanyard  will  help  prevent  accidental  drops,  and  keeping  the  pager  in  its  transparent  holster  while  operating  the  UI  will 
provide an additional degree of protection if a drop does occurs. 

6.3

 

Battery Care 

Your  M1503  pager  contains  an  internal  lithium  ion  battery  as  well  as  an  integrated  charging  circuit,  and  it  requires 
periodic recharging.  You may safely charge your pager as often as is convenient, for as long as is convenient, using either 
the charging dock (3) or the charging cable (2.8).  For optimal cell life and charge life, you should adhere to the following 
guidelines whenever possible: 
 

 

Charge your battery at room temperature or slightly cooler 

 

Store your pager at room temperature or slightly cooler 

 

Avoid exposure to extreme heat (e.g., left on a car dash board in hot sun) 

 

Disengage the battery (1.2) when the pager will not be used for extended periods 

6.4

 

Battery Replacement 

Rechargeable  batteries  have  a  limited  number  of  charge  cycles  and  may  eventually  need  to  be  replaced.    Under  most 
circumstances  and  use,  your  pager  battery  should  last  at  least  3  years  before  replacement  is  required,  although  this 
lifespan depends somewhat on the number of messages you send and receive each day.  When you find you must charge 
your battery more often than is convenient, it is time to consider replacement.  This replacement must be performed by 
Critical  Response  Systems  or  at  an  authorized  service  center.    Please  contact  Critical  Response  directly  for  more 
information.
