1.10 Turning the Pager On
The green MENU button is used to turn the pager on. Hold down the green MENU button for 3
seconds to turn the pager on.
1.10.1 Pin lock security (optional)
The X5 pager has a 4 digit Personal Identification Number (PIN) lock security option. If this option is
enabled, a 4 digit code must first be entered before the pager turns on and can be used. This prevents
unauthorised persons from accessing messages on the X5 pager.
To enter the 4 digit PIN use the directional keys to select the digit in between the blue arrow cursor and
scroll through the digits 0...9 using the up or down keys. Use the left and right keys to select the digit to
change. Once the correct PIN is “dialled in”, press the MENU button to accept the PIN. If the PIN was
entered correctly, the pager turns on. If the PIN was entered incorrectly, the pager will turn off and the
PIN-Lock error count will be incremented. If a PIN has been entered incorrectly for 10 times, the pager
will permanently lock and can only be unlocked by reprogramming the pager using the programming
software. Press the MENU button to put the pager into reprogramming mode. A successful login will
reset the PIN lock counter.
The PIN login process is omitted, if a PIN has not been set during programming the pager with the
programming software. A PIN value of 0 will bypass the login process.
Note:
Pressing the CANCEL button during the login process will turn the pager off without
incrementing the login error counter.
Note:
If an alarm time or auto-on time has been set and the pager is configured with a PIN, the
login process is bypassed when the pager automatically turns on at the set time.
