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
signal 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 window sill.

Servicing

Should your pager need repair, return it to the designated
service agent, or Multitone Electronics. Do not attempt to open
or repair the product, as it contains delicate components and
requires specialised test equipment. Repairs should only be
performed by qualified personnel, in authorised workshops.

Wearing Your Pager

Your pager is supplied with a detachable clip, which is
specifically designed to enable a grip-fit when used for ‘in­pocket’, or ‘belt’ applications. An elasticised detachable
Lanyard option with a metal retaining clip is also supplied.
