I n s e rting/Replacing the Battery

Your AccessLink II pager uses a single AA alkaline battery.
To insert or replace the battery:

Slide the lock on the back of the pager away from the symbol.
Slide the battery door to the left to open.

Insert a new battery being careful to align the + and - symbols on the

battery with the same symbols inside the battery compartment.

Replace the door and slide the lock towards the symbol to secure.

Note: If you have a lot of messages in your AccessLink II, you may

experience a short delay as the pager restarts itself after the
new battery has been inserted. The pager will beep once after it
is fully operational.

CAUTION: Be careful to align the + and - symbols on the battery with those

inside the battery compartment. Inserting the battery backwards will cause
the date and time setting in your AccessLink II pager to be lost. All messages
will be preserved, however.

Receiving Messages

• Your AccessLink II pager helps you organize your communications by
placing messages directly into folders such as RECEIVED for personal

messages and information service folders (NEWS, SPORTS, etc.)
for news messages. Exact folder names may vary depending on
your service provider.

• When you receive a new message, your AccessLink II pager vibrates
and/or plays your selected tone.

• The icon is displayed whenever you receive a new message.

If it is solid, you have new information service messages. If it is

flashing, you have new personal messages.

• The top line of the home screen also displays the number of new
messages you have.

• Finally, your ability to receive messages varies depending on the
terrain, weather, building density, and interference around you.
Your pager home screen will report your current service level.
For a description of your service level, please see the service
instructions provided by your paging carrier.

Reading Messages

TO READ A MESSAGE

From the home screen, view the folder list by pressing the “Enter” button.
Select the desired folder using the “Up/Down Scroll” buttons and open it

by pressing the “Enter” button.

Select the desired message using the “Up/Down Scroll” buttons and read

the message by pressing the “Enter” button. You can scroll through the
message using the “Up/Down Scroll” buttons or the “Enter” button.

While reading a message, you can quickly move to other messages in the
same folder.

• To jump to the beginning of the next message in the folder, press the
"Right Scroll" button.

• To jump to the beginning of the previous message in the folder, press
the "Left Scroll" button.

• You can also jump to the beginning of the next or previous message by
pressing the "Right/Left Scroll" buttons when the navigational symbol
(<<•>>) at the end of the message is highlighted.

Several message options appear at the end of each message. Use the “Enter”
button to select the desired option.

Note: If a given option appears with a line through it, that option is not

available for the message you are currently reading.

FILE

To file the message in another folder, select FILE from the message option list
and press the “Enter” button. Use the “Up/Down Scroll” buttons to select the
folder you wish to move the message to and press the “Enter” button. The

message will be stored in the folder you have chosen. Unlike messages in

the RECEIVED, TO SEND, and information service folders, messages filed in
the TO DO, APPTS, BUSINESS, PERSONAL, and MISC folders will never be
deleted by the pager to make room for new messages.
