Transmitter Functions
Pager Doesn’t Receive Pages
1. Be sure that the pagers are charged and/or turned on.
2. Be sure transmitter power is plugged in and display is lit.
• If display is blank, check power supply as described below.
• If display is lit, check the transmit functions described below.
3. Be sure transmitter antenna is connected.
Cell Phones or WAPs Do not Receive Pages
1. Be sure that transmitter is set to dial out with or without an initial number (e.g. dial 9 before dial-
ing number). See page 12.
2. Be sure that the line used for dialing out is plugged in and working.
3. Be sure the prompts for WAP (page 12) and the cell phone message (page 11) have been recorded.
Check Power Supply
1. Be sure the wall socket the power supply is plugged into is working (plug some other device into
it and see that it works properly).
2. Be sure the wire that plugs into the side of the transmitter is plugged in securely (try plugging it
into the connector on the other side also).
3. If you are using rechargeable pagers, try the power supply that is powering them into the transmitter.
• If the transmitter powers up from the other supply, you have probably blown the power supply.
Acquire another supply from Long Range Systems.
• If the transmitter does not power up from a known good power supply, call Long Range Systems
for a replacement or repair.
Transmitter Functions Check
Common problems and their solutions are described below.
1. Please remember that only 30 pagers can be on one 10V power supply. If you have more than 30
pagers, you should either purchase another 10V power supply or upgrade to a high capacity 10V
power supply (call Long Range Systems)
2. You probably have a jumper wire that is not connected. Look on the side of your chargers and ver-
ify all wires are connected properly. If they are connected, then you may have dirty pager contacts.
Using a damp rag, clean the 2 metal contacts on the back of each pager.
3. The cleaning crew may be disconnecting the pagers after hours. You may also have the pagers on
a circuit that automatically shuts off after hours. Please be sure that all pagers are plugged in and
charging when not in use.
Battery Powered Pagers
Pager Doesn’t Receive Pages:
1. Be sure the pager is turned on and that the battery is good.
2. If pagers do not turn on, replace battery and retry.
3. If pagers do turn on, and still do not receive page, check transmitter.
