Introduction

later. The high contrast screen is capable of displaying up to 150

intuitive menus and 3 tactile buttons. An additional feature is that
no icons are used on the screen, as all operating prompts are

General User Information

Radio Reception

Your pager has been designed to give optimum performance within
the coverage area of the transmitting system. As with any radio
system there may be areas of poor coverage, where reception may
be sporadic, or non-existent. If necessary, consult your system
administrator in order to familiarise yourself with these areas.

Hazardous Areas

Standard versions of this pager should not be taken into areas
where explosive gas, or dust products, may be present. Intrinsically
Safe versions are available for use in such environments, details of
which may be obtained from your distributor, or direct from
Multitone.

Pager Care

Protect your pager from liquids, extreme temperatures and strong
magnetic fields. Do not leave your pager exposed to strong
sunlight, e.g. on a car dashboard, or a windowsill.

Servicing

Should your pager need repair, return it to the designated service
agent, or Multitone Electronics plc. Do not attempt to open or repair
the product, as it contains delicate components and requires
specialised test equipment. Only qualified personnel in a Multitone
Electronics authorised workshop should perform repairs.

To switch on, just press and hold the X button for more than half a

Status and Warning Messages

When your MIT870 pager is switched on, the Standby Screen is

displayed. This consists of the time and date, with any additional
status and warning messages. A typical screen is shown below:

The first line always acts as a clock, showing the current time and
date. The time is shown to the left of the first line and the date is
shown in the centre. The time may be displayed in either a 12 or
24-hour format.

Alarm will show at the right side of the top line, to denote that the
internal alarm is currently set. The second line displays No Unread
Messages or 1 Unread Message, to show how many messages

have been received but not viewed.

Sometimes another message, Memory Full, may alternate with the

message status. This occurs when the memory is almost full and
the next message may overwrite the oldest read message.

The third line shows the status of the alert, Silent to warn that the
audible alert has been turned off, or No Vibrate to show that the

vibrate alert has been turned off. When both audible and vibrate

alerts are turned off, Silent and No Vibrate alternate at 2-second

intervals. If nothing is displayed, then both audible and vibrate alert
are turned on.

Depending on the programming options selected, the bottom line

may display Replace Battery, to indicate that the battery should be

replaced. Likewise, if the MIT870 is out of range from the

transmitter, the Out of Range message will also be displayed on
the bottom line. In situations where Replace Battery and Out of
Range are both displayed, these will alternate at 2-second intervals.

Receiving a Message

When your MIT870 pager receives a call, the LED will flash in
sequence with the beep code pattern received, the audible alert will
also sound in sequence (unless silent mode has been selected) and
a vibrate alert is produced (unless vibrate has been turned off). The
message will either be sent immediately to the message store, or
will be displayed during the alert period, depending on whether the

Auto View function has been selected. Press any button to cancel

an alert:

The end of the message is always shown by the character ■. If the
message is very long and cannot be fully displayed on the current
screen, then the last character will be a ►. This shows that the
message is continued on the next screen:

To see the rest of the message, simply press the X button:
