1. Introduction

The Multitone RPR 750 Series is a "top-fired" alphanumeric radio-paging receiver,
designed to operate in the 25 - 54MHz (751), 138 - 174MHz (752) and 407 - 470MHz
(753) radio frequency bands.

The paging and messaging data is transmitted, using either of the Multitone proprietary
MK6 and MK7 digital code formats, or the CCIR Radio Paging Code No.1 (POCSAG)
format. The Multitone formats also have the facility for enabling speech messages,
following initial paging data.

User alert facilities include selectable options of beep-alert tones, flashing LED, speech
and/or vibration. Any of these alert options may be accompanied by an alphanumeric
message, either pre-formatted up to 60 characters in length (Multitone MK6), or free­formatted up to 120 characters (Multitone MK7 and POCSAG).

For use in areas of classified hazardous atmospheres, the RPR 750 is also available in
"intrinsically safe" variants, which are certified to recognised international standards.

The equipment is powered from a single "AA" (LR6) size battery, or a "AAA" (LR03) for
the IS variant. This may be a disposable primary cell, or where the system is suitably
equipped, absence/charging racks enable the use of secondary re-chargeable cells.
During periods of battery replacement, or the pager being switched off, an internal back­up storage device will enable the retention of data for up to 12 hours.

For the intrinsically safe equipment variants, only certain battery types are
permitted. Refer to user information for correct types, before attempting to replace
these items.

2.3 Wearing the Pager

The pager is supplied with a detachable "Griptite" clip, which is specifically designed to
enable a tight grip-fit when used for "in-pocket", or "belt" applications. The tightness of the
clip may be adjusted by varying the clip slider on the underside of the clip assembly.

An elasticised detachable Lanyard option with a metal retaining clip, is also supplied. This
may be used in conjunction with the "Griptite" clip, or as a separate method of attachment.

2.4 Operation of the Pager

2.4.1 Switching On

To switch the pager on, press the ON/CANCEL/RECALL (OCR) button once. During the
first 0.5 seconds, the pager will emit a short beep-tone, the LED will light, the vibrate
motor operate and all of the segments of the LC display will show. Following this initial
sequence, the LC display will go on to show the pager's address and a switch-on
message. The display backlight will also illuminate for the period of this sequence, which
will last for a total of approximately 8 seconds. Upon completion of the sequence, the
pager will enter quiescent mode and be ready to receive calls.

If the battery is low, the "low battery warning" buzz-tone will additionally modulate the
beep-tone during the initial sequence.

If during the switch-on sequence the pager's EEPROM cannot be read correctly (due to a
fault, or incorrect programming), then the display will show a flashing sequence of
EEEEEEEEEEEEEE. In this instance the functionality of the pager is limited to
engineering mode, absence mode (for re-programming) and OFF.

2.4.2 Switching Off

To switch the pager off, press and hold the ON/CANCEL button and then press the MUTE

button. The pager will display OFF and then switch off after 2 seconds. Once the display

shows OFF, the ON/CANCEL button may be released and it is not possible to stop the
shutdown sequence.

2.4.3 Permanent On

This is an optional programmable mode. The pager will automatically initiate the switch-on
sequence as per Section 2.4.1, when a battery is inserted and remain ON until the battery
is removed.

Should the "switch-off" button sequence (Section 2.4.2) be applied to a permanently ON
pager, it will cause the display to read RESET and the pager will then perform a reset,
followed by the switch-on sequence as per Section 2.4.1.

2.4.4 Display Modes

The Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) is a 14 character full alphanumeric device, which in the
quiescent state is always active and will show the highest priority status information

(without backlight). Where time is enabled as an option, this will be displayed.
Display reversal: - The displayed text may be inverted, to suit the User's mode of wearing

the pager. To enable this option, press the MUTE button whilst in the status interrogation
mode (see 2.4.6). The new display direction will be held in the pager's non-volatile

memory and thus will be retained, even when the equipment is switched off, until reset.

10

TM1215 Iss. 6.0 RPR750

On-demand option: - The pager may be programmed with this feature, which means that

the display will be blank in the quiescent state until the pager has a changed status (e.g.
call), or a button is pushed.

2.4.5 Status Information

To interrogate the pager's status, from the quiescent mode, press the CANCEL button

once. This will cause status> to be displayed, followed by each programmable status

message in priority order. Each message is displayed for 1s and when the sequence is
completed, the pager will revert to the quiescent mode. The sequence is as per Table 1
below.

Table 1: Status Messages

2.4.6 Receiving a Call

For Multitone MK6 & MK7 code formats, there are 8 different audible alert patterns (beep
codes - see Table 2), plus one silent alert function. When a call is received using these
formats, the user is alerted (where option is selected) by:

a) the chosen audible tone alert pattern (except in Mute mode); 8, 16, or 32s duration, as

programmed;

b) the Alert LED flashing in unison with the tonal alert pattern;

c) the display showing the received message;

d) pager vibration (if selected);

e) a speech message.

Where a silent alert is transmitted, functions b, c and optionally d & e, are activated.

Calls may continue to be received whilst the pager is beeping; however the sensitivity of
the radio may be reduced during this period. If a new call is received it will take priority

and the original call will be assigned a new status and placed into the memory; unless it

has been cancelled by the User before the arrival of the second call.

Note: * Beep codes 5 & 8 override the Escalert and mute modes. The alert is full volume
for the whole of the programmed alert period.

Table 2: Beep Alert Patterns & Beep Codes MK6 & MK7

Standard alert Beep and Pip tones are single 2.7kHz tones, timed at 125ms for a single
Pip and 500ms for a single Beep, with equal periods between each tone (125ms &
500ms) for multiple cadence alerts e.g. double beep, triple beep etc.

An optional two frequency "warble tone" is also available, which consists of alternate

67.5ms periods of 2.1kHz and 2.7kHz tones. This tone will also follow the cadence
patterns for the different alert types.

For the POCSAG variant up to 8 cadence patterns are available, which may be mapped to
each RIC and function code.

2.4.7 Cancelling Alerts

An alert may be cancelled by pressing the CANCEL button, which will terminate the LED,
tone and/or vibration alerts, but any message will be replayed from the beginning. The

cancel operation also deletes the new status from the call (see 2.4.13), but un-cancelled
calls will retain their new status until they have been fully displayed in memory replay

mode.

2.4.8 Escalating Alerts

Alert escalation (Escalert) is a software programmable option, which may be set to
commence at any point in the sequence shown in Table 3. If the vibrate option has been

selected, then this will be included at every stage in the alert, with a cadence of 2s on, 2s
off.

If the pager is in the mute mode, then the alert tone will be suppressed from the
sequences in Table 3. The Escalert option is overridden when beep codes 5 & 8 are

received (MK6/7), or RIC B (emergency override) (POCSAG) in this case, the pager will
immediately commence an alert at the stage 3 level.

Table 3: Escalating Alert Sequence

2.4.9 Extended Alert

Extended Alert is a software programmable mode, which is entered if a call is not

cancelled within the normal alert period. The sequence is as follows: -

LED - one 0.125s flash, commencing 2s after the end of the normal alert period, followed
by one flash every 2s thereafter, until cancelled.

Tone - two 0.125s normal volume pips, commencing 120s after the normal alert period
and 2 further pips every 120s thereafter, until cancelled. The time period between the pips

is 2s and they are synchronised to the LED flashes. If the pager is in Mute mode, or the

call is a Silent Alert, then the pips will be suppressed.

Vibrate - one 2s vibration, commencing 120s after the end of the normal alert period,
followed by further vibrations every 120s, until cancelled.

Notes:

(a) It is not possible to interrogate ON/MUTE status, or change modes, during an

extended alert. The alert must first be cancelled and the call viewed from
memory.

(b) The 120s alert interval is programmable from 2 to 512s, although 120 and 300

seconds are the most commonly used.

2.4.10 On/Mute Mode

A software programmable option with User definable configurations, using the MUTE

button. Whilst in the Mute mode the pager will respond to calls, but will not emit a tone

alert, or activate the speech audio channel. An alert will be notified by the flashing LED
and vibration where activated. Text messages will be displayed and stored, as will any

associated speech messages, up to the specified storage limit. The Mute mode will be

neutralised by any override beep codes received and a normal alert will be sounded.

The ON/MUTE mode configuration may be changed, by pressing and holding the MUTE
button for 1.5s whilst the pager is in the quiescent state. Each status will be displayed and
acknowledged with an audible alert, in accordance with the Table 4 below. Subsequent

pressing of the MUTE button for 1.5s, will cause the pager to cycle through the status

options as given in Table 4.

TM1215 Iss. 6.0 RPR750

2.4.11 Vibrate Alert

A software programmable option, which once programmed may also be enabled/disabled
directly by the User, utilising the MUTE button as previously described in 2.4.10.

Note: Both the Mute and Vibrate modes are software options. If either or both of these
options are disabled, then the corresponding modes of operation described in 2.4.10 &

2.4.11 above, will not be available.

2.4.12 Call Status

Each call is given a new status when first received. This status is retained until the call is
fully displayed, either during initial reception, from the memory replay mode, or is
cancelled by the CANCEL button. If an alert is left uncancelled, then "x new messages"

will be shown on the display, where x = 1 - 5.

2.4.13 Message Retrieval & Viewing

New messages are displayed during the initial alert & speech periods unless cancelled
and received calls are automatically entered into the pager's memory store. Message
retrieval is initiated from the quiescent state, by pressing the CANCEL button once to

enter the Status mode and again to enter memory replay. If the pager is in the extended

alert mode, then the first press of the CANCEL switch will cause it to enter the memory
replay mode directly. At this point, the pager will display the "header" for the first

message, or the phrase "no messages", if there are none. If there are no messages, the

pager will return to the quiescent state after 2 seconds.

The message "header" is the first part of the message screen and may consist of a time
stamp or a message number (Mx, where x = 1 - 5), plus the initial part of the message if it
is more than 14 characters (all if it is less), as in the examples shown below: -

Header Display Rest of message
Time stamp 10:20 visitor in reception**

14:35 meet me in conf room 15:00 - ADT**

Message No. M1 please come to reception**

(No time stamp) M2 PHONE [phone]**

Further pressing of the CANCEL button, will cause the pager to scroll through the stored
message "headers". If it is required to read a message, do not press the CANCEL button
again after reaching the desired message "header", the selected message will then scroll
through automatically, after a 1.25s interval. A message will terminate with **, or **? if
there is an abnormal termination, or any doubtful elements. The final screen will display

for 2.5s and then the pager will return to quiescent mode, if no further button operations

are instigated.

The speed of message viewing may be changed, by use of the MUTE button. If the MUTE
button is pressed during viewing, then the message is held at the current screen.
Releasing the MUTE button will cause the next screen to be displayed immediately. If the
MUTE is pressed and released during the final screen of a message, then the message
"header" is again displayed and the message can be viewed again.

If the CANCEL button is pressed whilst viewing a message, the viewing of that message
will be cancelled and the pager will revert to the preview mode, with the next message
"header" displayed. If all message "headers" have been viewed, then the pager will revert

to the status interrogation mode.

14

TM1215 Iss. 6.0 RPR750

2.4.14 Message Replay Order

If there are new messages, then only these will be recalled. Once all the new messages

have been recalled, the pager will exit the memory replay mode and it will be possible to

view all the messages in the memory. These will be recalled in reverse order of reception
i.e. the latest message first.

2.4.15 Speech Calls (not POCSAG variants)

When a speech call is received, the alert is 4 seconds of a "Stage 3" alert (see Table 3,
section 2.4.9). After the alert period, the speech audio channel is opened and once
speech has commenced, it may only be terminated by: -

(i) a termination signal from the system encoder;
(ii) system time-out (options - no time-out, 10s, 30s, or 150 seconds), or
(iii) pressing the CANCEL button. If a call has been terminated during the alert period, a

further press of CANCEL will terminate speech.

If a call is terminated by either of methods (i) or (ii), then the call will remain un-cancelled

and be stored with a new status. If the option is enabled, the pager will then enter the

extended alert mode.

If the call has been terminated by pressing the CANCEL button during the speech period
i.e. within the time-out period, or before the termination signal from encoder, then it is
possible to re-open the speech channel, with a further press of the CANCEL button.

Any speech calls received whilst in the mute mode and without an override beep code, will

be stored without the speech channel being opened.

2.4.16 Re-playing Stored Speech (not POCSAG variants)

A speech message may be stored by the pager, but replay is not possible until the original
speech call has been completed, regardless of whether the calI has been cancelled and
the speech channel closed. Up to 120 seconds of speech may be held in the memory, in 5
equal memory segments of 24 seconds each. Any speech message exceeding this period
will be heard in full at the point of original reception, but will be truncated for storage
purposes. New calls will be allocated to the next available memory slot up to the
maximum limit and when full, new messages will overwrite the oldest stored message.
If a call has an associated speech element, which was stored when it was received, this
speech may be replayed whilst the retrieved message is being displayed.

Any stored speech will start when the message header is displayed. If the CANCEL button
is pressed at any time, the replay will be terminated and the next message will be
retrieved. Any speech associated with this new message will automatically start to be
replayed.

If the MUTE button is pressed at any time during a message replay period, the message
header will be redisplayed and the re-call cycle will start over again from the beginning.

15

TM1215 Iss. 6.0 RPR750

2.4.17 Speech (BEEP Tone) Volume Adjustment (not POCSAG variants)

To adjust the volume of the speech messages and beep tone where programmed as an
option, the pager must be in the quiescent state. First push the MUTE button, followed by
the OCR button. The display will show the current volume level and this may then be
adjusted by further pressing the OCR button to increase the volume, or the MUTE button
to decrease. When the desired level is reached, release any buttons and the pager will
return to its quiescent state.

2.4.18 Tone & Speech Only Calls

If there are no messages, or speech associated with a call, then the message display will

show as "tone call n" for the duration of the alert, where n is the Multitone Beep Code

number (see Section 2.4.6, Table 2).

For a "speech only" call (not POCSAG variants) the message display will read as speech.

In both instances, messages may be preceded by a time stamp or message number.

2.4.19 Beep Code Alpha

Beep Code Alpha is when one particular pre-programmed message is always assigned to
a specific beep code. When this code is received, the same message is always activated
and displayed. Up to 4 alphanumeric beep code messages, each of up to 14 characters in
length, may be programmed into a pager.

2.5 OPTIONS & FEATURES

2.5.1 Time Of Day

The Time Of Day function may be derived from either one of two sources. If the system on

which the pager is to be used has an "off-air" time signal, then this option may be enabled
during the software programming of the pager. Alternatively, if time notification is required
on a pager not allocated to a system with an "off-air" time signal, then the internal clock
may be activated.

Time is displayed during quiescent conditions and takes the form: -

Hours: Minutes

3:17

15:17

Where time has not been selected, then the pager will display on status. Time will be
overridden by higher priority status messages such as new message, out of range and

low battery.
Off-air time signal - If this option has been selected, the display will show the symbol --:--

in the quiescent state, until the first valid time signal (transmitted every minute) has been

received from the system. If the pager should go out of range of the system and no time
signal is received for 2 minutes, then this symbol will also be displayed until a valid signal
is again received.

Internal clock - where the off-air time signal option is not enabled, it is possible to activate

and set the pager's internal clock. To set the time, press the CANCEL button during the
switch-on sequence and the time-of-day screen will be displayed. This screen will initially
show the hours flashing.

16

TM1215 Iss. 6.0 RPR750

To change the hours repeatedly press, or press and hold the MUTE button, until the
desired hour is displayed. When this point has been reached, press the CANCEL button
and the minutes will start to flash. Press the MUTE button as before, until the desired
minutes are displayed. To complete the set-up, press the CANCEL button and the pager
will continue the switch-on sequence, starting at the address display for MK6/7 variants, or
the switch-on message for POCSAG variants.

If an incorrect time is entered, the CANCEL button may be pressed during the switch-on
sequence and the initial time-of-day screen will be re-displayed and the time may be re­entered. To reset the time on a pager which has already been switched-on, simply turn

the pager off and on again and follow the set-up sequence. If a pager has the permanent
on option activated, reset the pager as per Section 2.4.4. and follow the time-of day set-up

sequence.

2.5.2 Call Comparator

The Call Comparator is a software programmable option, which enables the pager to
recognise calls that are a repetition of a previous call, sent within a pre-determined time
after the original call. The pager will ignore any repeated calls identified by the
comparator. The time limit can be programmed for periods of 30s, 120s and 300s after the
original call.

The exception to this will be for message calls, where the original call has not been
decoded with 100% confidence. In this case the subsequent call will be accepted and will
overwrite the original message in the pager's memory. In both cases however, a normal
alert sequence will be generated.

2.5.3 Out of Range Warning

If enabled, the Out Of Range Warning, will notify the user if the pager has not received a

valid signal for a preset time, nominally 3 minutes 30 seconds for on-site variants and 5
minutes for POCSAG variants. Combinations of alert options are available, including
visual only, audible plus visual, or either option plus vibrate.

The audible/visual option enables an out of range warning on the display for 4 seconds,

accompanied by a 2s quiet buzz (512Hz). Pagers with the audible warning enabled, will
also produce a buzz when the CANCEL button is pressed whilst the receiver is out of
range. For the visual only alert, just the message is displayed. In all cases when selected,

the vibrate option will cause several short pulses during the alert period.

After the 4s alert period, the pager will return to the quiescent mode. The range status

may be checked at any time, by using the status interrogation as described in Section

2.4.5.

2.5.4 Low Battery Warning
It is advised that this option is not enabled for use with rechargeable cells.

The battery condition is continually monitored and if a low battery voltage is sensed the
pager will continue to operate, but the battery must be changed at the earliest opportunity
(usually within the next 24hrs., depending upon system traffic levels), or continued
operation cannot be guaranteed.

17

TM1215 Iss. 6.0 RPR750

When enabled, this option may be programmed for audible, visual and tactile alert
options. A warning may be activated under the following conditions: -

(i) at switch-on, the switch-on tone will be additionally modulated by a buzz tone;
(ii) any alerts will be modulated by a buzz tone;

(iii) the battery condition may be checked at any time, using the status interrogation

mode as described in section 2.4.5. If it becomes the highest priority message, then
a pager with the continuous display option activated and in quiescent mode, may

show an abbreviated warning message, with a time stamp.

2.5.5 Absence & Charging
Use only Multitone specified charging racks/units and programming

jigs.
Only pagers fitted with rechargeable batteries should be inserted into a

rack or charger!

Three contacts are provided at the base of the pager, to provide absence registration and
battery charging. These facilities may be provided by either, an absence/charging rack

which has a data-bus link to a central control system, a charging-only rack, or a single
desk-top charging unit.

When a pager is inserted into an Absence Rack, it will automatically be switched into the

absence mode. A pager which is already on will reset and a pager which is off, will switch
on and enter the absence mode. No paging calls will be accepted whilst the pager is

in the rack and any stored messages will be erased.

When inserted into a rack, a pager may display a programmable message of up to 9
characters. Unless programmed otherwise, the default message will be the pager's RIC
(receiver identity code) number. This message may be programmed either prior to
bringing the pager into service, or new alphanumeric messages may be transmitted to it
via the absence rack data bus.

Data exchange between the pager and the controlling system whilst the pager is in a rack,
allows the system to recognise the pager's out-of service status and make this information
available to system users. The system may also interrogate the pager for other
information, or send messages to the pager for display.

The pager's display orientation will be corrected for viewing in the rack, but will revert to
the user-programmed direction when the pager is removed from the rack. The "alert" LED
will be illuminated at half brightness during the charging cycle.

When a pager is removed from a rack, it will automatically enter its switch-on sequence.

When a single-unit charger or charge-only rack is used, the pager may still receive calls,
but its radio sensitivity may be impaired. The vibrate option will be switched off.

2.5.6 Test Mode

A Test Mode function is available, which is externally programmable from an absence

rack, or programming jig. This mode enables a short alert beep (0.5s tone & LED) and a

message display (TEST + time stamp), which overrides the call comparator and any other

programmed alert options. By enabling this function and transmitting a continual series of
calls with short repeat times to the pager's address, it provides a quick method of testing
pager sensitivity and also assessing site coverage.

18

TM1215 Iss. 6.0 RPR750

In the quiescent state, the pager will display *TEST MODE*, instead of status.
Additionally, if the pager is in mute mode the tone alert will be suppressed, unless an
override beep code is transmitted. If a call is sent to a single pager in test mode, then any
message or speech will be ignored, but if an all-call address is used then the pager will

open the speech circuits for 2 to 4 seconds, to test the speech channel.

For test purposes a counter is incorporated, which will record the number of calls (up to

255 before resetting to zero) received in test mode and store this number in the EEPROM,

when the pager is reset, or turned off. This number may be reset, or retrieved by using a
programming unit.

Open channel speech selection (MK6 & 7 variants only) is available in test mode, which is

activated by pressing and holding the CANCEL button for 2 seconds. The speech channel
will then remain open until the CANCEL button is pressed again.

2.5.7 Batteries, Changing the Battery & Battery Care

The pager can be used with any 1.5 Volt nominal AA (LR6) sized primary cell, or for re­chargeable applications NiMH secondary cells. It should be noted that battery life
expectancy may vary greatly with the cell supplier and chemistry, especially with the re­chargeable options.

In order to maximise battery life, cancel any alerts as soon as possible and switch-off the
pager when not in use. If the pager is not to be used for a long period, it is recommended
that the battery be removed.

NOTE: Any stored messages will be retained by the pager for approximately 12 hours
when the battery is removed, or the pager is turned off.

To change the battery, ensure that the pager is switched off and proceed as follows: -

Hold the unit in one hand with the front facing downwards. Insert the blade of the Battery
Door tool under the bottom edge of the metal back-plate for the clip and gently lift enough
to release the clip from its retaining slot. At the same time, slide the clip assembly towards
the base of the unit with your thumb.

Finally, whilst holding the battery door in place, re-insert the metal clip-back into the
guides on the case-rear and slide the clip into place, ensuring that the retaining lug re­locates into the slot in the case-back.

For the Intrinsically safe variants of the pager, only specific types of cell are to be
used, as these form part of the safety certification. Do not use any other cell types,
as this may contribute to a hazardous situation. Refer to the User Guide for battery
options.

and L403 tune the collector of TR406, to the third harmonic of XL401. This circuit provide
the correct Local Oscillator frequency and reduces the level of other harmonics. For the

variant), a 4kbit serial EEPROM IC2 and the display module (LCM).

IC
allows access to the contents of IC2 via IC1/IC12 and provides all the function control fo
the pager and data decoding. The main clock frequency for the IC is derived from XL3 @

25

TM1215 Iss. 6.0 RPR750

4.19MHz, with a sub-system clock XL2 operating on either 32.768kHz or 38.4kHz,
depending upon the Baud rate selected for the pager (512 or 1200).

The radio circuits are activated by IC1/IC12 (RXEN-SK1/13) for a brief period every

second, so that a check may be made for the presence of a preamble signal. If preamble
is detected, then the radio is held on and the demodulated data signal is downloaded

(DATAP) from the Radio board via SK1/11, for decoding by IC1/IC12.

At the same time IC1/IC12 reads the pager address and the programmed options data
held in the EEPROM IC2 and if the decoded data is recognised as valid, then IC1/IC12

generates a call alert sequence which includes the options of flashing the Alert LED (HS),
an audible tone alert (BEEP), message text display and speech and/or vibrate (VIBRATE).

Communication between IC1/IC12 and the Display Module is via a high-speed serial data

bus, along a 12 way flexible connecting strip (signals SI, SCL, A0 & SO). The LCM

contains the LC display, a driver IC, control switches (OCR & MUTE), the red Alert LED
and LED backlighting facilities.

IC1/IC12 controls the radio circuits via SK1 pins 13 (RXEN), which enables the power
ON/OFF function and pin 12 (F_CHG), which controls the FSK reference voltage for the

data comparator (see preceding Radio PCB description).

Battery status data is also fed from IC401 via SK1 pin 10 (LOWB), which is processed by

IC1/IC12 to sound a “low battery” alert. In the event of the main battery being removed,
IC1/IC12 will also cause the switchover to the back-up battery, to maintain the internal
clock and messages.

3.2.4.2 Audio

The Audio section consists of speech storage chip IC3, a pre-amplifier IC9, digital
potentiometers IC7 and IC11 (MKII only) and power amplifier IC8.

When a speech call is received, the audio from the radio is fed from SK1 pin 9 (RX
AUDIO) into the pre-amplifier IC9 (pin 3). IC9 and IC8 are normally held quiet until a
speech call is detected by IC1/IC12, which then activates IC9 via (EN2) and IC8 via (EN1)

control lines. When the pager is in battery economy mode, or receiving calls, both the
control lines are cleared, putting the audio section into standby mode.

The output from IC9 (pin 4) is fed jointly to the input of stored-speech chip IC3 (SPEECH

IN) and also directly to input of IC8 (pin 1). In company with this, the output from IC3
(SPEECH OUT) is also fed to the input of IC8 (pin 1).

With this configuration, when a speech call is first received, both (EN1) and (EN2) control

lines are activated by IC1/IC12 and the audio is fed to both the loudspeaker and the
speech storage chip IC3 simultaneously. When a stored speech call is selected to be

replayed from IC3, only line (EN1) is enabled.

The functional gain of the power amplifier IC8 is controlled by the agc circuit combination
of TR7 and IC7, the latter being a digital potentiometer. The gain value set in IC7 is

determined from IC1/IC12, by toggling the control lines (CS1) and (U/D), enabling the user

to set the speech audio signal level entering IC8.

The alert tones are fed directly from IC1/IC12 (BEEP) output to digital potentiometer IC11

and then to the final power amplifier IC8.

IC8 provides a balanced drive to the loudspeaker. The overall gain of this final device is
held by R49, R50, R24 and R65.

26

TM1215 Iss. 6.0 RPR750

3.2.4.3 Power management

This section comprises IC5 and IC10, under the control of IC1/IC12.

IC10, L1 and D29, form a voltage converter, which boosts the nominal battery voltage to

3.3V (VDD). When a battery is fitted, TR’s 8 & 10 are enabled and the output of IC10 is

connected to the digital sections of the pager.

The presence of the main battery is detected by TR8 (B+), which controls the status of

TR10. At the same time, the backup cell BATT2 is charged from the main battery, which
typically takes around 24 hours from flat. If the main battery fails or is removed, TR8 is

switched off, which status is signalled to IC1/IC12 (PFAIL). At the same time TR10 is

turned off, effectively isolating IC10 from the backup cell. BATT2 will maintain the internal
clock and message memory function for a minimum of 12 hours.

IC5 is a voltage detector, which controls the reset signal to IC1/IC12. When the supply line

(VDD) falls below 2.2V, IC5 triggers the (RESET) line to IC1/IC12, resulting in the pager

losing any messages and re-setting its real-time clock.

Also included within the power management section, are the driver for the vibrate motor
TR’s 2 & 3, the Alert LED driver TR6 and the display module backlight driver circuit
combination, TR9/L2.

The pager is charged via external contacts CONN1(CHG) + CONN1(GND ) and R54/D25
to the B+ rail. The presence of a charging voltage is signalled to IC1/IC12 by TR4
(CHGDET).

3.2.4.4 Programming

When programming the pager from an absence rack or programming pocket, serial data is

transferred from the external contact CONN1 (PROG) to the IC1/IC12 (PROGB) pin.

Resistor R38 provides a pull-down function to IC1/IC12 and the diode D26, provides ESD
and excessive voltage protection for the external programming contact.

4 Servicing (excluding IS variants)

STATIC SENSITIVE DEVICES ARE USED WITHIN THIS EQUIPMENT. CARE MUST BE

TAKEN TO ENSURE THAT DAMAGE TO THESE DEVICES, IS NOT CAUSED BY HIGH
LEVELS OF STATIC ELECTRICITY.

4.1. Routine Maintenance

Routine maintenance of the RPR 750 Series receiver is limited to replacement of the

battery when required and surface cleaning of the unit, using a lint-free cloth moistened
with soapy water.

4.2 Service Policy

Where possible, it is advocated that faulty units are returned to Multitone for repair. Where

it is necessary to effect repairs in the field, these should be limited to the direct
replacement of the identified faulty module, or broken case part, only. Any component
removed, must be replaced by the relevant item as specified in Section 6.

Any work should only be carried-out by qualified personnel, in correctly equipped and

authorised workshops. Liability is not accepted for any work carried-out by third parties.
Workshops must be free from hostile radio interference, or equipped with suitable

Figure: 4.1

Removal - Refer to Fig. 4.1. Hold the pager in one hand and push down on the top of the

clip, to raise the bottom "grip-edge". Gently insert the Battery Door Tool edge marked
"clip" or similar blade, under the metal back-plate of the clip and lift enough to release the
retaining catch. Once the catch has lifted sufficiently, slide the clip towards the bottom of
the pager, by applying thumb pressure to the clip top.

Replacement - Before attempting clip replacement, ensure that the grip adjustment slider

is set to the top of the clip and that the metal back-plate has been straightened. To
replace the clip, insert the top of the metal back-plate into the grooves of the clip housing.
Slowly push the clip home, until the retaining catch locks into position.

4.4.2 Case Removal

Remove the clip assembly (as described in 4.4.1) and the battery door. The next stage of

removal varies according to the age of the equipment under repair and is determined by
the type of OCR/Mute button fitted.

For older equipments fitted with the “flush”

style of button, proceed as follows. Do not

try to remove the window by this
method on later units, as it is moulded
as part of the case rear.

Insert the blade of a small screwdriver, or

similar blunt blade, between the edge of
the window and behind the buttons. Gently

lift the blade and prise the open the edge

of the window. Once lose, lift the window

away from the unit and discard. Do not

re-use the window, replace with a new component.

29

TM1215 Iss. 6.0 RPR750

Place tip of finger on the top edge (display) of
a button and pull forward towards the front of
the unit, until it releases from the main
assembly. Repeat the process with the second
button and carefully retain both components.

From this point, dis-assembly is the same for both the early equipments and the later
assemblies with the “raised” OCR/Mute buttons. For later equipments the buttons may
remain in situ in the case front, unless replacement is required.

Remove the 2 fixing screws located at the top/rear of the case.

Locate the catch on the outer edge of the battery
compartment. Apply pressure where indicated and
unhook the rear-case tag from the front-case tab and
release. This will separate this edge of the front and rear
case halves.

Separate the two
case halves and

push here whilst pulling apart. At the same time, apply
pressure to the side of the case back as shown to the left, to
release the tag & tab inside.

30

TM1215 Iss. 6.0 RPR750

Separate the two case halves around the

area of the catches. Holding the rear half
of the pager in one hand, with the other hand, grip and gently pivot the case front
upwards. This should release the remaining 2 catches. Take care not to strain the speaker
connection. Using tweezers or fine pliers, unplug the loudspeaker connector from the
decoder PCB and put the case front assembly aside.

4.4.3 PCB Separation

NOTE: PCB profiles are illustrative only and may vary for each model of the RPR 750.

Lift here

To remove the radio PCB, gently lever-up the edge of the board at the point shown. This
will release the PCB assembly from the socket on the decoder PCB. Lift the PCB (taking
care not to damage the aerial loop) away from the housing.

To remove the decoder/display assembly from the case, firstly remove the rubber PCB
spacer. Remove the M2 retaining screw located where shown, using a cross-head (Pozi)
screwdriver. This will release the assembly, which may then be lifted from the housing.

4.4.4 Re-assembly

Ensure that the
switches are located
correctly, before
closing.

Locate these rear catches first

Re-assembly is the reverse process of the above. When re-assembling a complete case­back assembly (including PCB's) together with a case-front; first locate the two catches at
the base of the rear case assembly and lock these into position in the case-front.

Ensure that the edges of the case are correctly aligned and working up from the base
along both edges, squeeze the sides into position, ensuring that the locking catches
engage. Before closing the top, check that the switches on the display module engage
correctly behind the buttons in the front case moulding and that the display module sits
correctly in front of the loudspeaker-retaining clip. Gently squeeze the top halves of the
case together until they join. Screw the two halves together, using the 2 fixing screws.

To re-fit the buttons (early models), first locate each button in position. This is done by
locating the "tab" at the bottom of each button, in the slot at the lower front of each button
recess. Gently push the button back into the recess, ensuring that the two locating lugs on
the back of the button position themselves into the corresponding dovetail notches at the
back of the recesses and the buttons lie flat.

For older models, fit a NEW window part in place over the top of the unit, ensuring it is

pushed down firmly and retains the rear button lugs in place.

32

TM1215 Iss. 6.0 RPR750

Before attempting clip replacement, ensure that the grip adjustment slider is set to the top
of the clip and that the metal back-plate has been straightened. Re-insert the metal clip­back into the guides on the case-back and slowly slide the clip into place, ensuring that
the retaining lug re-locates into the slot in the case-back.

4.4.5 Display Removal

This whole assembly should be treated as a non-serviceable item, to be replaced in its
entirety.

The display module is held in place onto the decoder PCB, by two plastic clips. To remove
the display, hold the decoder PCB assembly in one hand and grip the edges of the
"release bar" on the flexible connecting strip connector, between your finger and thumb.
Pull the bar towards the display module until it "clicks", to release the connecting strip.
Grip and pull the display assembly away from the decoder PCB.

4.5 Servicing Information for the Decoder PCB’s 0261-7498 (MKI) & 0261-8243 (MKII)

The following information is intended to enable a series of front-line diagnostic tests on the
Decoder PCB, in order to establish the possible area at fault and whether a field-repair is
possible. Basic fault-finding information has been provided on the most common faults,
categorised by how the fault has been observed.

Please refer to the circuit and layout diagrams in Section 7.

4.5.1 Test Arrangement

It may be possible to check the Decoder PCB whilst it is still fitted to the rear-case
assembly and using the receiver's AA battery, but where it is necessary to remove the
PCB for access (see section 5.4.3), then separate power supply arrangements must be
made. Care should be taken not to damage the PCB contact areas, when making such
connections.

4.5.4 Basic Test Measurements

1. 3.3V ±5% should be present on the positive end of C12.

Fault condition found - check the operation of the voltage converter IC10, the series
inductor L1, or the rectifier diode D29. With a 'scope probe on IC10 Pin 1, check for the
converter oscillating; a short circuit on the 3.3V rail would prevent this from working.

2. 3.3V ±5% should be present on the Source pin of TR10.

Fault condition found - check the "battery detect" circuit, TR8, R10 & C62, or for a short
circuit elsewhere on the 3.3V supply rail.

35

TM1215 Iss. 6.0 RPR750

3. Check that the reset line is high i.e. the supply rail is within limits and the micro­processor is operational.

Fault condition found - check IC5 pin 1, or the junction of C16 & R19. If the reset line is
low, then the 3.3V line may be outside limits, IC 5 may be faulty, or there could be a short
circuit elsewhere on the line.

4. Check that the backup cell BATT2 is being charged. On BATT+ terminal, there should
be 3.3V ±10% (this may vary between 0V and 3.3V on a new decoder, as it may take up
to 24 hours for BATT2 to be fully charged).

Fault condition found - check R17, or BATT2.

5. Check that the micro-processor clock crystal is oscillating and the frequency is

4.194MHz ±0.01%.

Note - this measurement should be made within a few seconds of powering-on the
decoder, as once the initialisation sequence is complete, the decoder will start to use the
STOP mode and the main oscillator will be switched off for most of the time.

6. Check that the micro-processor sub-system oscillator (XL2) is running @ the correct
frequency, either 32.768kHz for 512 Baud or 38.4kHz for 1200 Baud rate receivers.

Note - this oscillator should run continuously.

4.5.5 Alpha-numeric Display does not work

Check for poor solder joints on R68 - R73, R76 & R81. Check for solder short circuits on
SK5. Change the Liquid Display Module (LCM) for a known good unit. If the display starts
to work, replace the faulty LCM.

4.5.6 Display Backlight does not work

Check that the backlight has not been software inhibited (battery low for example). If not,
measure the voltage on IC1 pin 20, or IC12 pin 39 for the MKII variant, (B/L); when the
light is active, this should be a 3V minimum pk-pk square wave, @ approximately 30kHz.

If the correct driving waveform is present on IC1 pin 22 (IC12 pin 41), check R79, TR9,
L2, or the backlight LED on the LCM module.

4.5.7 Decoder does not "Beep"

For test purposes, the Beep signal may be activated either during the switch-on

initialisation, or when the mute button is pressed to determine the pager status. First

check that the loudspeaker is connected and there are no shorts on SK4.The beep signal
should be measured on IC1 pin 21, or IC12 pin 40 and is typically a 2.7kHz square wave.
If the signal is not present, then there is a solder short, a fault in IC1/IC12, or the beep
output is inhibited in the software, as the result of an EEPROM option.

If the O/P from IC1/IC12 is present, measure the supply voltage to the audio amplifier (IC8
pin 10) and check that the amplifier is enabled (IC8 pin 2 = 0V). If not, fault lies with IC8,
or IC11.

4.5.8 Decoder Vibrate Motor does not operate

1). Check that the vibrate-motor signal O/P from IC1 pin 12 or IC12 pin 57 is @ 3V, when
the motor should be active. 2). Check that TR3, R16 and TR2 are functioning correctly.

3). Check the vibrate motor itself is working.

36

TM1215 Iss. 6.0 RPR750

4.5.9 Decoder Alert LED not working

If the LED does not work when the pager is inserted into a charging rack, then check D25,
R52, R54 and the LED itself.

If the LED is not operable during the initialisation sequence, or when the pager receives a
call, verify that IC1 pin 22 or IC12 pin 41(HS) switches to 0V when the LED is active. Also
check the circuit around TR6 and R53.

4.5.10 Decoder does not call

Check that the decoder is enabling the radio via SK1 pin 13 (RXEN) (radio is enabled by
DATAP being set to 3V3). Recovered data should be present on SK1 pin 11 (DATAP).

Using the RF signal generator and a call encoder, send continuous pre-amble to the
pager. Check that the radio is enabled and that the mark-space ratio of the recovered data
is 50:50. If not, check that the fast charge signal (F_CHG, SK1 pin 12) is activated, as the
decoder first samples the data.

If the decoder is receiving continuous pre-amble with a consistent 50:50 mark-space ratio
but will still not call, check the programming of the EEPROM (IC2).

4.5.11 Decoder does not receive Speech Calls

Check that the pager is programmed to receive speech calls and that the loudspeaker is
connected correctly (SK4) and not faulty.

Verify that when a speech call is received, the alert sequence is a maximum of 4 seconds
duration and that there is no escalating alert. When the alert sequence is complete, check
that IC9 pin 5 (EN2) and IC8 pin 2 (EN1) are both set to 3V3. This enables both the
speech pre-amplifier and power amplifier.

Check the speech signal path from SK1 pin 9 (RX_AUDIO), through IC9 (pin 4) and IC8
(pins 7 & 9).

4.5.12 Pager does not record Speech calls

Check for the presence of speech at the junction of C7 & R78. Confirm that the relevant

control signals are present on the speech chip (IC3 pins 8, 9, 10 & 11) and that the
speech signal is present on IC3 pin 20 (AUDOUT) when speech is played back, indicating
that the speech chip is recording correctly. If a speech signal is present, check C6, C43,
R57 and IC8 plus associated circuitry.

4.5.13 Pager cannot be programmed

Confirm that the pager displays entry into the absence/programming, by displaying the
"rack" message programmed into IC2. Verify that the waveform on the programming pin
(PROG) is correct. Typically, the programming input is held low for 18ms, switched high
for 2ms and then returns low. This indicates that the pager has detected the presence of
the rack/programmer and is waiting for a transaction. If the waveform is not present, check
R6, R38, or the programming contact.

If the pager enters absence/programming mode, but does not programme consistently,
check that XL3 is the correct frequency (4.194304MHz).

If the pager responds correctly to the absence/programming commands, but does not
store the data, check the decoder EEPROM (IC2), R9, R75 & R77.

37

TM1215 Iss. 6.0 RPR750

4.5.14 Pager Clock is inaccurate

Check that the correct crystal (XL2) is fitted for the code format used. Confirm that the
frequency is within limits. If not, check C1 & C2 and replace the crystal if necessary.

4.6 Alignment of VHF & UHF Radio PCB's

It is possible to perform a rudimentary radio PCB alignment, outside of the case assembly.
However for final tuning of the aerial, it is necessary to use either a Multitone alignment
jig, or a modified case assembly, which has the necessary cut-outs for access to the
alignment points.

Dimensions are shown in millimetres and are approximate.

Diagrams showing hole positions for tuning points on a "dummy" case -front. The

suggested drilled hole diameter is 6 - 6.5mm. N.B. It is essential to retain the

loudspeaker on the inside of the case, as its metal construction forms an intrinsic
part of the circuit conditions, when fine-tuning the aerial. It will be necessary to
create a hole through the metal surround of the speaker.

4.6.1 Test Arrangement

In order to align a radio, the PCB will need to be connected to a working decoder PCB &
rear case assembly and the drilled front-case fitted over the radio for final tuning. Power
may be provided by an internal battery, or an external PSU connected to the battery
terminals. Any alignment must be carried out in an area, which is free from external RF
signal interference.

4.6.4 Procedure

Set the signal generator to the RF channel frequency and modulate the carrier with the
audio output from the SINAD meter. Set the FM deviation to the appropriate level for the
channel spacing of the PCB under test. Set the RF output to high e.g. +20dBm. Do not fit
the case-front at this stage.

39

TM1215 Iss. 6.0 RPR750

Starting with the radio PCB uncovered, connect the audio probe from the SINAD meter
between TP1 and Gnd./0V (the circular PCB track next to TP1 is the most suitable point).
Temporarily fit R416 (0R), or connect TP6 to TP7, to enable the receiver. Check the
battery voltage is correct (TP7) and also the 1V rail (TP4).

Adjust CV404 for the best SINAD signal. Reduce the RF output from the signal generator
to a lower level e.g. -60dBm and adjust CV402 and CV 403 for the best SINAD, whilst
further reducing the RF level as necessary.

Fit the case front and adjust CV 401 for best SINAD, gradually reducing the RF signal
level, as necessary.

Remove R416, TP6/TP7 link and any other connections made during this procedure.

Radio alignment is now complete.

4.7 Alignment of HF Radio PCB

4.7.1 Test Arrangement

The HF Radio may be aligned outside of the case assembly, but will need to be
connected to a working HF variant decoder and rear case assembly, with an AE1 ferrite
aerial and PL1 fitted. Power may be provided by the primary battery, or an external PSU
connected to the battery terminals. Any alignment must be done in an area free from
external RF signal interference.
