NOTES
Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the Motorola PF1500 word message
pager. Whether receiving or responding to a message with its unique reply
capabilities, the PF1500 pager can become a vital part of your business and
personal life.
This booklet contains operating instructions that explain how to use your new
PF1500 pager and provides helpful suggestions for first-time, as well as
experienced, users.
A detachable quick reference card is included on the back cover for
your convenience.
Effective Use of Your Pager
Your pager can help you keep in contact with everyone important to you. By
supplying business associates, family members, and friends with your pager
number, you can be contacted whenever needed.
While performing procedures:
• If you do not press a button for several seconds, the unit automatically
returns to the standby mode. (To continue from where you were, simply
repeat the steps necessary to return to that point.)
Getting Started
Battery Information
Your pager operates with a single AA-size alkaline battery (do not use carbon
zinc batteries). The AA-size battery also recharges the pager’s internal
transmit power source.
Two AA-size batteries are provided with your pager. The first battery already
installed in your pager keeps the internal transmit power source charged and
may not last long. Use the second AA-size battery to replace the first AA-size
battery.
A battery gauge is provided within the Vital Signs feature on the Main menu.
Refer to “Checking Vital Signs” on page 28.
If cdisplays, the pager’s AA-size battery is low. Replace the AA-size battery.
INTRODUCTION

If it has been a while since the battery was replaced, you may need to allow the
pager’s internal transmit power source to charge overnight (or for a number of
GETTING STARTED
hours) to ensure proper operation of your pager.
Note: This product may contain a Nickel-Cadmium (NiCd) rechargeable
battery that must be recycled or disposed of properly. Recycling facilities may
not be available in all areas.

Sending a Test Page to Yourself
It’s a good idea to test your pager and service by sending a page to yourself.
Start by using the phone number, web site, or email address (and a PIN, if
required) your service provider gave you, then enter a short message. If you are
sending a word message from a phone, an operator will assist you; otherwise,
press the phone buttons to enter a numeric message or type a message and
send it. While you are waiting for the message to reach your pager, refer to
page 16 for information about how to read a message. If your pager does not
receive the message within a few minutes, contact your service provider. After
you’ve tested the pager, read the rest of this guide to learn about the many
useful features of your new pager.
