with standard practices for preventing accidents.

Safety Information

RF Operation Characteristics

Your M1503 contains a transmitter and a receiver. When it is ON, it receives and transmits radio frequency (RF) energy.

The M1503 transmits in the frequency range of 896-902 MHz and employs digital modulation techniques. The M1503

output power level is typically 1 Watt. In 1991, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and in 1992,

the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), updated the 1982 ANSI Standard for safety levels with respect to

human exposure to RF Energy. Over 120 scientists, engineers, and physicians from universities, government health

agencies and industry, after reviewing the available body of research, developed this updated standard.

Electronic Devices

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF energy; however, RF energy from your M1503 may effect

inadequately shielded electronic equipment. Check with the manufacturer or its representative to determine if the

following equipment or systems are adequately shielded from external RF energy:

oMotor Vehicle electronic and entertainment systems (standard and any add-on equipment)

oMedical Equipment, hospital or personal devices (such as pacemakers, hearing aids, etc.)

Turn your M1503 OFF in health care facilities where any regulation posted in the areas instructs you to do so. Hospitals or

health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.

Aircraft

Current regulations prohibit the use of certain types of portable electronic devices (PEDs) on board commercial aircraft,

due to the potential of interference with navigational and communications equipment. Turn your M1503 OFF before

entering any aircraft.

M1503 User Guide ______________________________________________________________________Version 1.3

Blasting Areas

Construction crews often use remote control RF devices to set off explosives. To avoid interfering with blasting operations,

turn your M1503 OFF when in a “blasting area”or in areas posted “Turn off two-way radio”.

Potentially Explosive Atmospheres

Do not charge your batteries or operate your battery charger within the proximity of any potentially explosive

atmospheres. It is rare, but these actions may generate sparks. Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often,

but not always, clearly marked and include the following:

Gas stations

Below deck on boats

Fuel or chemical transfer/storage facilities

Areas where air may contain chemicals or particles, such as grain dust, or metal powders

Any area where you would normally be advised to turn OFF your motor vehicle

Do not bring your M1503 pager or basic dock into areas with

potentially explosive atmosphere.

2.4 Status LED

Your M1503 pager has one status LED on its front, top right hand corner. Depending on configuration, this LED may

signal receiver operation, message reception, and completion of a firmware update procedure.

2.4.1 Receiver Operation

When configured (5.8.2.5), the status LED will flash each time it receives a control frame from the network. It flashes

green when it is attempting registration, or when it is registered in battery-optimized mode. It flashes blue when it is

registered in speed-optimized mode (5.8.2.3). It also flashes yellow whenever a control frame is received while the battery

is low.

2.4.2 Message Alert

When configured (5.8.3.2.9), the status LED will flash red when the pager receives a new message.

2.4.3 Firmware Update

Using the CRS Dock Manager software, a user may update their M1503 firmware. Upon conclusion of this operation, the

Status LED glows GREEN to indicate success, or RED to indicate an update failure

2.5 Holster

Carrying your pager outside of the holster makes it more vulnerable to

damage from impact with other objects.

The M1503 includes an opaque or translucent polycarbonate holster with an attached belt clip. To use the holster, secure

it onto your belt, then slide your pager down into the holster with the lanyard connector facing up and the LCD facing

away from you. The pager will snap into place, where it will be held firmly during normal use. To remove the pager from

the holster, simply grasp the pager and slide it up and out. When using the translucent holster, the pager can also be

operated without removing it from the holster.

2.6 Bungee

Handling your pager, without the bungee securely connected between it

and a belt loop, makes your pager more vulnerable to damage from

accidental drops.

The M1503 includes an elastic bungee that attaches the pager to a belt loop, providing extra protection against accidental

drops. The bungee features a thread loop on one end, and a swivel clip on the other end. To use the bungee, carefully

loop the thread through the metal lanyard connector loop on the right side of the M1503, then open the thread loop and

pull the swivel clip end of the bungee through the thread loop. This creates a secure connection between the bungee and

the pager, which will not interfere with the holster or basic dock. When carrying the pager, simply attach the swivel clip

to a belt loop.

2.7 Data/Charging Connector

The M1503 includes a 16-contact data connector, located under a black neoprene protective boot on the lower edge of the

pager. It can connect to a M1503 charging cable, or a M1503 basic dock, enabling battery recharge or firmware update.

2.8 M1503 Charging Cable

You may leave your M1503 connected to the charging cable indefinitely,

without harming the pager.

The M1503 includes a charging cable, which connects to the data/charging connector on the bottom of the pager, to a

power source, either a computer USB port or USB wall adapter. To charge your M1503 with this cable, simply connect

the charging cable to the pager and to the power source.

4General Operation

Your M1503 is a response pager, designed to operate as part of a SPARKGAP messaging system. When your M1503

receives messages, it alerts you and allows you to read and reply to these messages. Depending on the network

configuration, the person (or computer system) sending the message can be notified when you receive, read, and reply to

each message, either directly or by way of the incident response dashboard.

4.1 Message Reception

Your M1503 receives both personal messages, sent specifically to you, and group messages, sent simultaneously to you

and others in the same group. The way these messages are received and displayed are very similar, but there are some

important differences. Personal messages are sent using guaranteed delivery. If you are out of range when a personal

message is sent, the system will hold the message for up to several days until it locates you and delivers the message.

Group messages are sent to multiple members of a particular group, and the sender is quickly notified of who received the

message and who did not. Group messages are held for delivery as well, but only for a comparatively short period, a

minute or less.

4.2 Message Reply

Depending on system and message settings, you may reply to messages after they are received. Additionally depending on

system and message settings, the sender can be notified as you receive, read, and reply to each personal or group

message.

4.3 Message Storage

As your M1503 receives messages, it stores them into memory organized into folders.Personal messages are stored in

your personal folder, while group messages are stored in a separate group folder named after the group. By selecting

Received Messages from the Main Menu page, then navigating into the relevant folders, you can review previously

received messages. Your system administrator can assign email addresses and phone numbers to each folder in your

M1503, depending on relevant operational policies.

4.4 Message Transmission

Depending on the configuration of your SPARKGAP Messaging System, your M1503 can transmit preprogrammed

messages to pre-programmed addresses. This type of messages is called a canned message. These canned messages and

destination addresses are programmed into your pager over the air by your system administrator, or directly by you

through the SPARKGAP Application Gateway. Message transmission is available from the main menu by selecting SEND

MESSAGE.

4.5 General Status

Depending on the configuration of your SPARKGAP Messaging System, you can use your M1503 to notify the system of

your general status. Status values (e.g., on duty, off duty, etc.) are programmed into your pager over the air by your

system administrator, or directly by you through the SPARKGAP Application Gateway.

4.6 Configuration

Your M1503 contains many parameters that you can set through the user interface. These include pager-wide settings

such as keyclick or LCD contrast, as well as alerting options specific to a particular folder or group of folders. These

parameters appear as menu items in various pages. You can select the line, then use the Up and Down buttons to

navigate through the available settings. Once you have selected the correct setting, you can press the Select button again

to save it. You can also press the Escape button to return to the page without changing the parameter.

4.7 Battery Charging

The M1503 is powered by an internal battery, which requires periodic charging. The battery charge level indicator (lower

left part of the main menu page) indicates the current charge level as 0-4 bars, and this indicator changes slowly as the

battery drains during use. If the battery reaches a critical threshold, the pager will begin to issue warning beeps, and

finally turn off. The battery can be recharged at any time by plugging it into the dock or charging cable.

M1503 User Guide ______________________________________________________________________Version 1.3

5User Interface

The M1503 employs a hierarchical user interface (“UI”) that includes both text and icons. The UI divides functionality into

pages, each page accessible from a parent page, with the overall organization resembling a tree. General operation

involves navigation through a series of menu options or display text on each page using the Up and Down buttons. A

single push of the Up or Down button moves a menu selector up or down one item or scrolls the page up or down one line.

Holding the Up button moves to the top of the page, and holding the Down button moves to the bottom of the page. The

Select button takes an action based on the selected menu item, either moving you to a new page, beginning a multiple-

choice selection process, or opening a pop-up window. The Escape button moves you “up” one page to the parent page,

exits the pop-up window, or ends the multiple-choice selection process.

5.7 Sending Messages

Your M1503 can transmit preprogrammed messages to a list of preprogrammed recipients. These Canned Messages allow

you to originate a new message to a specific recipient. The list of messages and recipients are configured over the air by a

system administrator, or by you directly through the SPARKGAP Management Gateway.

Canned messages are a useful way to quickly and easily send short status-type messages (Running Late, Out of Service, In

Service, etc.) to specific recipients, or to issue quick commands (signal TAC4, report status, etc.) to small groups. In some

cases this feature can also be used for more complex interoperability tasks, depending on your agency or department

procedures and circumstance. Your M1503 supports up to 32 canned messages and 15 canned addresses.

To send a message from your M1503, select the Send a Message menu item from the Main Menu page. Your M1503 will

then prompt you to select a recipient and then a message from 2 separate pop-up windows. Use your Up and Down

buttons to navigate these lists and then press Select to select the correct item. You will then see the final message

composed on the screen. To send the message, select Send; to abandon the message and return to the Main Menu page,

select Quit. You may also press the Escape key to return to the Main Menu page.

Once you select OK, the message is placed into the M1503 transmit queue, where it will wait for a few seconds until

transmitted to the network. While messages are in queue, the number of pending transmissions will appear next to

the Sent Messages menu item on the Main Menu page. Once all pending messages are successfully transmitted, this

count will vanish.
