Introduction
The pager RE529 has a large number of operational functions. The delivered RE529 contains a
selection of these functions as a basic setting. They are shown in the display, and can be activated by
the user. If this selection does not meet your requirements, additional functions can be programmed as
required with the programming device. You can find information about the type and scope of functions
that can be programmed in the operating manual, or you can contact your supplier or SWISSPHONE
directly.
1 Putting Into Operation
1.1 Power Supply
This family of RE529 pagers is preferably operated using an environmentally friendly, rechargeable
power source (batteries). These batteries are available in the AA (Mignon) size as NiCd,
600 mAh (nickel-cadmium from Sanyo) or NiMH 1000 mAh (metal nickel hydride from Varta or
Furukuwa), and can be recharged by various types of recharging units. As an alternative, the RE529
can be powered from dry batteries. In this case, only high quality dry batteries intended for professional
use should be used (e.g., UCAR, Duracell, Varta etc.)
1.2 Inserting the Battery
To insert the battery, proceed as follows:
1) Open the battery compartment by pressing down the tongue in the rear panel and pulling out the
battery cover sideways. If necessary, use a coin as a tool.
2) When inserting the battery, please observe the correct polarity and the marking of the cells. Insert
the supply source with the minus pole (-) leading, so that the spiral spring is slightly compressed,
and then simply lay the battery into the battery compartment.
3) Replace the battery cover and push it in until the tongue latches into the rear panel of the housing.
1.3 Automatic Switch-On
After inserting the battery in the battery compartment, an electrical connection is made, and the unit
switches on automatically. A self-test of the signal generator, the LED, the display and the vibrator is
started, and is completed by a control sound (beep).
The receiver is switched on and its operational status can be read from the display. The battery status
indicator shows the approximate energy level of the power source.
If a self test does not take place, check the polarity of the power source, or place the pager into a
charger. Various charging units are available (LG 300/429, LGA 300/429, LGRA 300/429 etc.).
1.4 Switching Off
This takes place by simultaneously pressing the keys SELECT(1) and EXECUTE(2) for about 4
seconds. In the display the frame of the battery symbol blinks, and finally the symbol disappears from
the display, and the pager is switched off.
