Effective Use of Your Pager

Your pager can help you keep in contact with everyone important 
to you. By giving your pager number to your business associates, 
family, and friends, you can be contacted whenever needed.

If you have a cellular phone, give your pager number instead of your 
cellular number. Then you can decide who to call back on your cellular 
phone without paying for incoming calls.

Battery Information 

Your pager operates with one AAA-
size alkaline battery (carbon zinc 
batteries are not recommended).
