Battery Saver
FLEX pagers use the advanced battery saving features of the FLEX paging protocol.
The pager can be programmed to check for pages at intervals ranging from 1.8
seconds to 4 minutes. The interval that one chooses depends on how much delay is
acceptable in receiving messages versus battery life. For more information on FLEX
paging protocol, see the "FLEX Paging Format, Code, and Code Capacity" section
of this manual.
Battery Check And Monitor
The battery is automatically checked at all times (pager off or on). A good battery
(typically 1.3 volts or greater) is indicated by a standby condition display (time of
day and date or a field of dashes when time option is deleted) following the power-
up alert.
A low battery is indentified by a low battery warning display and an alert,
following the power-up alert and display check.
During normal operation, if the battery drops below 1.3 volts, the warning
is displayed. As long as a low battery is in the pager, the warning is produced
to remind the user of a low battery condition. All tone and vibrate alerts are
shortened to two seconds during low battery conditions. When the pager is off, there
is no low battery alert, and the low battery warning is not displayed.
Reminder Alert
When a message is received, the reminder alert feature monitors the pager to
determine if the message is read. If the message is not read within two minutes,
the page emits either a 1/8 second tone or a two second vibration, depending on the
mode of operation. The reminder alert continues to alert the user every two minutes
until all unread messages are read. The reminder alert is selectable via the Pager
Programming Software.
