With the pager is switched on, the battery symbol is permanently visible in the display, and shows the
energy level at all times. If the energy source is completely exhausted, the empty battery symbol blinks
continuously. If the acoustics are switched on, a regular click tone is heard simultaneously. An
operational time of 3 - 5 hours is still available.
2.11 Battery / Accumulator Recognition
After a new energy source has been installed, the pager always knows whether this is an accumulator
or a dry battery. The switch-on procedure with self-test is only possible if the battery or accumulator
voltage is greater than 1.24 V. The information as to whether a battery or accumulator has been loaded
is then stored in the pager. For accumulator operation (rechargeable), only the accumulator symbol
appears in the LCD display. If a battery (dry cell) is recognised, the text "BATTERY" appears next to
the accumulator symbol.
Note:
If the newly inserted energy source (battery or accumulator) is only slightly charged, the pager is not
able to recognise immediately whether it is a battery or an accumulator. For this reason, it is first
assumed that the inserted energy source is an accumulator, and the charging current is switched on.
Immediately afterwards, the voltage of the energy source is measured and monitored. With a supply
voltage of 1.24 V, the switch-on test takes place, and the pager recognises either a battery or an
accumulator. The pager then stores this information. If an accumulator has been inserted the
recharging continues. In case of a inserted battery, recharging is stopped.
2.12 New Message
Depending on the operational mode, incoming calls will be signalled via the loudspeaker and the
vibrator together. In addition to the complete alerting, you can listen directly to the incoming spoken
announcement, after which the LED light in the upper left corner blinks. The 3 digit display and the
address arrow shows you at first glance which memory address has been seized. If seized addresses
or calls are not acknowledged, a reminding call occurs in the pre-programmed time intervals. This can
take place acoustically and optically. For a "Tone only" message, the same alarm pattern takes place,
and only the call recognition arrow appears at the corresponding "Memory Address".
2.13 Call Retrieving
(RE529 Memo Only)
After pushing the Execute key (2) voice retrieving procedure will be started. It appears optical signalling
of the proper address and spoken message will be retrieved from the voice memory. In case there
more calls (2) recorded, retrieving will be continued without the need to touch any other key.
2.14 Call Signalling
Each of the eight call addresses can have it's own characterizing signal pattern. You can determine the
pattern yourself through the programming, and it can last up to a maximum of 5 seconds.
