BATTERY ( 675 battery cell recommended.)

The main watch battery is a size 675 (common zinc-air hearing aid
battery). Expected battery life is approximately 3 months and will vary
depending on the watch and pager usage. ”Lo Battery“ will appear on
the watch screen every 2 seconds to indicate the battery is running low.
At this time you should install a new battery following the procedure
illustrated on page 1.

Important: Remove expired cells promptly to avoid leakage.
Note: The watch has a permanent backup battery which will keep time

and preserve data for 2 minutes when the main battery is changed.

ADDITIONAL PAGER FEATURES

• If a new page was not read when first received, then, as a

reminder, the watch will chirp every 2 minutes for 30 minutes.
(In silent mode, the light will flash every 2 minutes for 30 minutes.)

AUTO ON/OFF

• This function allows your pager to automatically turn on and off

each day. This saves battery power. You can select the default
setting of 6 AM on and 10 PM off, or set any auto on/off time you
choose (see page 12 to activate). Pages will only be received when
the pager is on.

LIGHTWEIGHT DURABLE DESIGN

• For extended life, your pager watch has been designed to withstand
exposure to moisture. The pager will not work in water and water
exposure is not recommended. If you do immerse the pager watch,
the design will help protect the watch. However, the battery will be
deprived of needed air and may require a battery change. Remove
the battery and allow the battery compartment to dry before putting
in a new battery. If the battery is out longer than 2 minutes,
existing pages will be erased.
