Glenayre Electronics 6000 User Guide

Using Your AccessLink™ II 2-Way Pager

Congratulations on your purchase of the Glenayre
AccessLink II advanced messaging, two-way pager!

The AccessLink II is simple to use and provides

exciting new messaging capabilities.

Vi rtual Keyboard Quick Refere n c e

THE VIRTUAL KEYBOARD The AccessLink II has a virtual keyboard to allow you

to enter messages and other information. Since this keyboard is created
entirely in software, your two-way pager can be as small as a one-way pager.
You will use this keyboard often to enter messages or other information.
Refer to this page whenever you need a quick reminder about how to use
the virtual keyboard.

• To "type" letters, use the "Up/Down" and "Left/Right Scroll" buttons
to select the appropriate letter and then press the "Enter" button.

• When you enter a letter or punctuation character, the cursor returns to
the center of the keyboard, which is the space key. To type a space
simply press the "Enter" button.

• To delete a character, scroll to the bottom of the screen. When the
cursor is in the bottom row, press the down scroll button to delete the
preceding character.

• To change case, scroll to the top row of the keyboard, and select the Up
Scroll button. Each press of the Up Scroll button changes the case from
lower case, to shift, to caps lock, and back to lower case.

• To edit the message, press the "Exit/Backlight" button. The keyboard will
disappear, allowing you to scroll through the message with the "Up/Down"
and "Left/Right" Scroll buttons. Press the "Enter" button to insert the cursor
into the selected position and return the virtual keyboard.

• Once you are finished entering a message or other type of information
press the "Exit/Backlight" button which takes you to the Edit Screen.
Press the "Exit/Backlight" button again to arrive at the Message menu,
with options to address, edit, save, or delete the message.

• You may exit the editor at any time by pressing the "Exit/Backlight"
button until you have backed up to the screen you desire. Any work you
have started will be saved in the folder where it was created. Unsent
messages will be saved in the TO SEND folder.

I n s e rting/Replacing the Battery

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

1

Slide the lock on the back of the pager away from the symbol.

2

Slide the battery door to the left to open.

3

Insert a new battery being careful to align the + and - symbols on the
battery with the same symbols inside the battery compartment.

4

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. Once it is fully operational the pager
will beep once.

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.
