| TIPS
FOR USING THE PAGER |
| EOC
Duty Officer settings |
For
all alerts use Position A (tone) or D (vibrate). For EOC Duty
Officer alerts use Position C. When on scheduled duty, answer
all "EOC Duty Officer" alerts (see EOC
Duty Officer Checklist). |
| Charging |
The
unit can be charged while it's on. When the pager is inserted
in the charger, the light will indicate charging in progress. The
indicator will change to green when charging is complete. |
| Channel
monitoring |
Our
receivers are programmed to the fire alert frequency (153.860
mHz). The radio traffic you will hear will be the fire primary
(Jeffcom and local fire districts). You can monitor all fire
communications by setting the FUNCTION switch to position B, or receive a
tone only by setting the FUNCTION switch to A, C, or D (see options
below under "Function Choices"). |
| Stored
message |
When
a tone alert is received, the message heard through the speaker but also
stored in memory. To playback a message in memory, press the
PLAYBACK button (in the center of the FUNCTION switch). Pressing
once replays the newest message in memory. Turning the unit OFF
deletes all messages in memory. Other communications received
(other than the alert message) are not stored. |
| Unread
message indicator |
The
red LED (ALERT INDICATOR) lights if there are any unheard
messages. The amber ALERT INDICATOR lights for messages read but
still in memory. |
| Low
battery indicator |
The
red LED BATTERY ALERT INDICATOR will flash is the battery is too low for
reliable operation. |
| Reset
button |
After
receipt of a coded message the alert monitor will automatically reset to
the operational mode. The reset button can be pressed to silence
the pager and return it to the monitor function. |
| BASIC
OPERATION OF THE TONE ALERT RECEIVER: |
| Turn
the unit ON |
Use
the rotating ON/OFF - VOLUME knob. Turn it a few degrees clockwise
until an audible tone (or vibration) indicates it is turned on. |
| Volume |
The
volume can be set with the same ON/OFF - VOLUME knob. Turning the
knob clockwise increases the volume of the tone alert and the
message. |
| Function
choices |
The
FUNCTION switch is configured in 4 positions. Each position has a
different purpose. Here are the FUNCTION switch options: |
| Position
A |
Receives
an audible tone alert for all major tone sequences, including general
alarms, the county-wide "all call", the EOC Duty Officer tone
and EOC Tone 2. |
| Position
B |
Is
the open monitor position. When the selector is in Position B all
radio traffic on the fire primary can be monitored. |
| Position
C |
Is
the Duty Officer tone receive position in Group 1 pagers. When
in Position C the receiver remains quiet until the EOC Duty Officer tone
is transmitted from Jeffcom. For Group 2 pagers, the message is
only activated for an EOC 2 alert. Group 2 pagers do not receive a
Duty Officer tone in Position C. |
| Position
D |
Programmed
the same as Position A, except it activates in the VIBRATE mode instead
of the open tone. |
