2.1.1 Controls
The three push-buttons have these functions:
O>
Selects the unit functions
Moves the cursor to the left
Moves the cursor to the right
2.1.2 Display
The Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) shows messages, symbols and other information
associated with the unit. The operator can choose the style of characters shown on
the display from the available list. The display contrast can also be adjusted to suit
the operator’s preference. A lamp is incorporated in the unit to illuminate the display
when required.
2.1.3 Display On Demand
This is a pre-programmable option, which forces the display to “blank” after a pre-
determined time period. At unit switch-on, the screen will display the information as
described in section 2.2.1 and will then switch to the quiescent state, with a blank
screen. This status will remain until either a call is received, one of the user buttons
is depressed, or there is any other change in the status of the pager, such as low
battery alert.
2.2 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
2.2.1 Switching the Unit ON
When the battery is installed in the unit, the display shows the time (and the date or
identification, if programmed) on the bottom line and the status symbols on the top
line. The display stays on until the battery is removed or the unit is turned OFF,
unless the unit has been programmed for Display On Demand (see section 2.1.3).
If the unit is turned ‘OFF’ , push and hold the
O>
button until the Audio and Vibrate
Alerts operate. The display then shows a message for a short time before the time
and symbols show. This is the ‘standby’ screen.
