HowYour PageWriter 2000X Works

The PageWriter 2000X smart pager’s lightweight, wearable design allows you to open the flip and read your messages while the pager is still in the belt holster. Audio and vibrate alerts notify you of incoming and waiting messages. The keyboard provides text entry capabilities that allow you to send full text messages. All this is combined with the ability to add applications, upgrade current applications, and, with the infrared interface in the Motorola Deluxe model, upload and download information to and from your computer.

TIP The PageWriter 2000X smart pager displays a blank

screen to conserve energy during periods of inactivity. Press any key to awaken the pager.

The Flip

The front flip on the PageWriter 2000X smart pager houses and protects its LCD screen and antennae. Opening the flip awakens the pager, while closing the flip puts the screen into sleep mode. When in sleep mode, your PageWriter 2000X smart pager continues to work for you. It receives and stores incoming messages for access at your convenience. You can set audible, vibrating, or silent alerts to notify you when messages are received.

The Battery and Charger

Motorola batteries and chargers are made from the highestquality materials available. The battery and charger included with the PageWriter 2000X smart pager come with a one year warrantyand should provide good performance well beyond the initial warranty period. However, rechargeable batteries do not last forever. At some point, batteries wear out and must be replaced. If your battery’s performance has degraded (e.g., the battery’s charge lasts only half as long as when it was new), you should consider replacing your battery with a new Motorola factory-assured battery. Batteries, as well as any other Motorola PageWriter 2000X accessory, can be purchased through your dealer, or by calling Motorola direct at 1-800-548-9954.

TIP Before leaving on a trip, make sure the battery and any

extra b atteries are fully charged. All rechargeable batteries experience self-discharge, meaning that a small amount of energy discharges everyday as a battery sits on the shelf.

How Your PageWriter 2000X Works 11

Recharging the batteries to full charge should take an hour or less per battery.

Recharging can be accomplished by placing your PageWriter 2000X smart pager in the charger or by removing the battery and placing only the battery in the charger. For optimum performance, use the recommended Motorola charger.

To remove the battery for charging:

1. Hold the pager face down.

2. Place your thumb on the arrow in the center of the battery door. Press down and slide the battery door away from the center of the pager.

3. Lift the battery door away from the pager.

2. Insert the transformer’s two-pronged plug into any standard 120 Vac power supply outlet.

3. Place the 3.6 V NiMH battery in the charger’s battery compartment by aligning the positive (+) and negative (-) markings on the battery with those on the charger.

4. Press the battery firmly into place. The lit red LED indicator light means that the battery is charging.

 A flashing red LED indicator means the battery is not

making a good contact. Ensure the battery is properly seated in the charger.

5. When the green LED indicator becomes lit, the battery is fully charged. Slide your finger or thumb underneath the battery from the front of the charger and lift the battery out.

TIP Leaving the battery in the charger after the LED turns

green keeps the battery fully charged until removed. Keep your spare battery fully charged by leaving it in your plugged-in charger.

6. Remove the round transformer connector from the back of the charger, then remove the two-pronged transformer plug from the power supply.

How Your PageWriter 2000X Works 13

To replace the battery:

1. Match the positive (+) marking on the fresh battery with the two (2) contact side of the pager’s battery compartment and the negative (-) marking with the one (1) contact side of the battery compartment.

2. Insert the battery into the battery compartment at an angle toward the outer edge of the pager, then press the battery down into place.

 Ensure the lift tab is underneath, not on top of, the battery.

The tab is designed to help lift the battery out of the compartment during battery removal.

7. Remove the round transformer connector from the back of the charger, then remove the plug from the power supply.

The Infrared Port

The PageWriter 2000X includes an infrared (IR) port in the charger housing. This device is used as a docking station for your pager when transferring data to and from your computer. The IR port in the docking station aligns with the IR port on your PageWriter 2000X smart pager, enabling data transmission. The docking station is connected to your computer with the Motorola-provided RS232 null modem cable.

When a data transfer is in process between the PageWriter 2000X and a PC, the green and red LED indicator lights will flash intermittently.

To connect the docking station to your computer:

1. Connect one end of the RS232 cable to your computer’s nine-pin serial port.

2. Connect the other end of the RS232 cable to the nine-pin connector in the back of the docking station.

System Setup

Your PageWriter 2000X comes pre-configured and ready for use. Features are available that allow you to re-configure your pager to more closely reflect your lifestyle, set the date and time, and select the alert modes and types. For information on customizing other features, see “Customize” on page 43.

Turning On and Off Your PagerWriter 2000X

The rechargeable battery in your PageWriter 2000X allows you to leave your p ager turned on 24 hours a day and, depending upon usage, can sustain operation for approximately a week before requiring a recharge. However, your PageWriter 2000X works much like your computer. Periodically turning off your pager assists in clearing the random-access memory (RAM) and can help optimize your pager’s performance. Turning off your pager at night will also lengthen the time of your battery’s charge.

TIP Incoming messages are stored by the paging service until

your pager is turned back on and ready to receive messages. Turn your pager off at night when you do not want to receive messages, and place the pager in the plugged-in charger so it will be fully charged and ready for use in the morning.

Send/Receive  Full Service coverage. Turns on the receiver and transmitter for two-way message transmission. Messages can be sent and received from your pager.

Receive Only  Basic Service coverage. Turns on only the receiver for one-way message transmission. Messages can be received but not sent from your pager.

Off  Storing Messages. Turns off the transmitter and receiver. Messages cannot be sent or received.

TIP Sometimes referred to as Hospital mode. The unit

will never transmit while in this safe mode for environments with sensitive equipment such as CAT Scan and MRI equipment found in hospitals.

 When the pager is in Off mode, messages are retained by

the paging service until you change modes (Send/Receive or Receive Only).

TIP Off mode does not turn off your pager. It turns off the

radio frequency (RF) transmission. You can still use the applications on your pager to update your Address Book, schedule reminders to yourself, or compose messages to be sent at a later time.

TIP When moving to another zone, reset your pager back to

Full Service Send/Receive mode until you receive your first page, then you can put the pager back into Receive Only mode. This allows you to tell the service provider where to find your p ager. Zones are defined by the paging service provider, but in general, a major metropolitan area counts as a zone (e.g., the greater Chicago area is one zone).
