begins immediately after the alerting cycle and ends on N timeout. At this time the
WatchDog will enter normal auto reset operation.
N-Factor Revert Reset:
Adding the N time delay to revert operation causes the
WatchDog pager to disregard the state of the carrier during the N time. The N time
begins immediately after the alerting cycle and ends on N timeout. At this time the
WatchDog will enter normal revert to carrier squelch operation.
Time-Out Timer:
After receipt of an alert, the pager will open the audio channel for
messaging. The audio will remain open until the pre-
programmed “timeout” has
expired. The timeout timer is initiated at the start of the alert cycle and ends on the
timeout time. The pager will then automatically returns to Selective Call standby.
N-Factor Setting
If your carrier drops after sending out tones, you may need to use N-Factor.
The “N-
Factor Setting” function allows the pager to essentially ride thru the carrier drop after
tones are transmitted and to continue to record the message. The N time is
programmable in length to allow for system variations. Select an N time that is longer
than the carrier drop to prevent early termination of message recording. If the carrier
typically drops for one second, then program the N time to two seconds. In this case,
after the two second N time out, the pager will resume watching the carrier to signal when
to stop recording.
Time out Timer
Set the number of seconds you want the audio to remain open after receipt of an alert in
Time out timer reset mode.
Alert Time
This is the amount of time the pager will alert after it receives its tones. It is recommended
that you use automatic alert time so that you do not miss part of the message being
received.
