2. ABOUT THE 4130 PAGER
About
The CommtechWireless 4130 Pager is a lightweight, super-compact, numeric pager. Easy
to operate and packed with extra features, the CommtechWireless 4130 is the smartest
numeric pager around. With LCD illumination so you can read your messages in poorly lit
conditions, reminder alert and vibrate mode, the 4130 is the best value for money pager
on the market.
Reliability
Reliability is one of the key factors when considering a pager. Not only does this
determine how reliably the pager receives the message but it also determines the
expected life span of the pager. That’s why the 4130 is backed by a full 12 month
warranty and is available in over 30 countries across the globe. Coupled with this, all
repairs and warranty claims are conducted locally, by Commtech Wireless.
Ease of Use
Plain and simple. That was the specification for the design of the ‘user interface’. All
instructions are in plain English - simply select the option you require, then push the
button to change.
Features
The 4130 is a no nonsense pager, boasting simple delete, delete all and message reading
facilities. It is also possible to flip from silent to audible mode (and back again) with just
three key presses. One of the great features of the 4130 is the low purchase price, and
the low cost for spare parts. We believe that you won’t find a better pager for your
money! Commtech has ensured that the 4130 meets many requirements, including
capital budgets!
Synthesized
Do you have multiple frequencies and require one pager to solve all your problems? The
Commtech 4130 provides the solution. The 4130 is a fully synthesized pager - simply
program in the frequency you require any time you need to change the frequency.
What’s more, frequency AND capcode programming can be done on the pager itself!
This translates to less stock and much faster supply times.
