A good battery is indicated by a power-up alert (double-interrupted 4-beep tone)
followed by channel noise or audio., A lamp on top of the pager will flash along with
any alert tones as an additional page indicator.
A low battery is indicated by a rapidly pulsating beep, or no beep at all.
Step 5. Volume Check and Adjustment
After the power-up alert, listen for background noise or voice messages. Adjust the

Dual Function: In order to activate the dual function feature, it may be necessary to
contact your Paging Service Company or System Manager. The pager is equipped
with a dual -alert feature, so that the pager has available two different priority level
calls: function 1 or function 2. Function 1 is an interrupted alert tone. Function 2 is a
continued alert tone. The two different alerting tones can be interpreted as desired
by the user. Each function can be al erted followed by a voice message.
Battery Level Check and Monitor: Each time the pager is turned on, or the RESET
switch is pressed and released, the battery level is checked (refer to BATTERY
TEST and Figure 3.) If the battery voltage drops below a minimum level
(approximately 1.1 volts), an automatic low battery warning will be heard, which is a
one-second fast pulsating beep. The automatic warning is produced only once and
does not occur again until the
Page 10
pager is turned off, and then back on again. Once you hear this alert, you should
replace the alkaline battery within a few days. A rechargeable battery should be
replaced or recharged within a few hours.
Battery Information
Battery Types: The pager is designed to operate with a single AA-size alkaline
battery (Motorola type NLN8278) or a single, AA-size nickel -cadmium battery
(Motorola type NLN7975.) Either of these batteries provides for optimum pager
performance.
AA-size alkaline or nickel -cadmium batteries from other manufacturers may give
comparable performance, but have not been tested by Motorola. Substitution of a
battery other than those recommended by Motorola could reduce operating life.
