the time of the initial order.
Operation
A page can be sent from the transmitter or any phone
within you PBX system to a single pager or a group of
pagers. Up to a 12-digit numeric message may be sent
usingtheGeo Pulsar pagers. Using theGeo40pager,
pre-defined alpha messages may be sent in addition to
the ability to send a single numeric message.

Important note: Only use the power
supply provided with your system! The
use of non-approved supplies will invali-
date all warranty and service.
1.3CONNECTING THELINEPORT
For interface type LP, the A and B wire of
the external line port are connected to a 2/3a
line jack on terminals 2 and 5.
FortheMFinterface, use the lead provided

mediate vicinity of telephones, exchanges, or
computer equipment. A few feet can make the
1.1CONNECTINGTHEANTENNA
Connect the 90 degree aerial to the BNC
connector (bayonet twist lock) located at the
side of the transmitter. Slide the plastic cover
over the connector, engaging the two lugs into
the corresponding recesses in the side of the
case.Thiswillmaintaintheaerialinanupright
position,whichisimportantforoptimizingthe
range of the transmitter (See Figure 1).
1.2CONNECTINGPOWERADAPTOR
Connect the power supply to the power
socketlocatedatthefarright-handrearcorner
of the base station (See Figure 2).
Plug the power supply into a convenient
wall socket and turn on the power. Ensure the
twojackplugsarefitted(DC1andDC2),evenif
they are not wired to a switch, as removal will
trigger the unit when it is first powered up
(unless they have been programmed out). The
system will display the following screen for a

The performance of your system will be affected by:

2.1 SENDING A BASIC PAGE
In the most basic use of the transmitter,
simply type the pager number and then press
“SEND.” This will cause the pager with the
corresponding number to vibrate.
2.2PAGINGFROMTRANSMITTER
If you wish to transmit a numeric message
fromthetransmitter,typeinthepagernumber
and then press “ENTER.” When prompted for
thebeeptype,justpress“ENTER”again. When
prompted for the message, type up to 12 num-
bers, then press “ENTER” or “SEND.” The
message will be sent to the pager.
2.3 PAGING FROM A PHONE
From a phone within your PBX system,
pick up th outside line that the DataPage II is
attached to. You will hear a three-tone “sign
on” from the DataPage II unit. Dial the pager
number,i.e.,(12forpagertwelve),thenpress*
(or # see note). Dial up to a 12-digit numeric
message to be sent to the pager and press *
again. Waitforsign-offtones,(fourtoneshigh,
low, high, low) then hang up. To page a pager
without sending a message, simply dial the
pager number and then press * three times.
Rejected data is signaled by a single low
beep, replace handset, wait for time out and
startagain.
2.4 SENDING A GROUP PAGE
The pagers are capable of receiving both

To turn the Geo Pulsar pager off, press the
right arrow button followed by the large black
button. Pager will turn off. To turn the pager
backon, hold down thelargeblack button for2
seconds.
NOTE: The symbol * is used to denote
the STAR key on your telephone, which
must be pressed wherever the * symbol
appears in the text. On some telephone
systems,the#keycanbeusedinsteadand
may be preferable in some instances. It is
advisable to check ALL types of phones
used on your exchange to decide which
key works best with each phone type.

prompt tones. Simply enter the pager number message
andlistenforthesign-offtones.Ifyoureplacethehandset

aborted.Itispossibletosendthepagewithoutwaitingfor
thesign-ontones. Thismaywellrequirethedelaybefore
sendingthesign-ontonestobelengthened(seeprogram-
mingsectionon‘SETTIMEBEFORESIGN-ONTONES’).
To achieve this facility you must send valid DTMF tones
to be received by the system before the sign-on tones are
generated. It is therefore possible to extend the sign-on
delay past the inactivity timer, which effectively means
that the sign-on tones will never be received.
2.10SPEEDDIALING
It may be possible to effect some speed dial functions
with your telephone system; however, telephone ex-
changes vary as to the way in which they perform
dependingupontheirowninternalprotocol.Withcertain
systems you may have to establish an audio connection
with the port prior to sending the message. With other
systems it may be possible to program pauses between
accessingtheport, sending the pager number,andsend-
ingthemessage.Ifthisis possible, it will be necessary to
extend the ‘TIME BEFORE SIGN-ON TONES’ to allow
valid data to be sent before receiving the sign-on tones.
2.11TONEONLYPAGING
Numeric and alphanumeric pagers can receive “no-
message” calls by entering * in place of the message.

3 SYSTEM OVERVIEW
3.1PERFORMANCE
The system will normally cover 95% of all
range requirements with the use of just the
internal antenna. The helical quarter wave
antenna supplied with the system can provide
ranges of up to half a mile free space and will
normally cover industrial buildings of up to
100,000squarefeetormore. Thisshorthelical
wound antenna can be replaced with a dipole
antenna,whichcanproviderangesinexcessof
one mile in free space and considerably en-
hance the unit’s performance in industrial or
commercialenvironments.Positiontheuniton
the opposite end of the desk to computers,
telephonesandintercoms,etc.tominimizethe
potential for cross interference.
3.2RANGEEXPANSION
The range and performance of this equip-
ment can be improved by the addition of more
efficientaerials.*Thesecanbeinstalledeither
insideoroutsidethebuildingandareconnected
to the transmitter with 50-ohm coaxial cable.
An amplifier is also available for very large
sites.* Consult your dealer for further details.
A glass mount is available to install on the
inside of a suitable window, which can boost
range,especiallyifit’srequiredinonedirection
from the building.
The center fed half wave dipole measuring
approximately 300 mm from tip to tip will
provide excellent all around local signaling.
This can be mounted either inside or outside
the building and is available in either a light-
weight or heavy-duty stainless steel design.
Collinearaerialsarealsoavailableforexter-
nal application and will, when elevated, boost
overall range with a slight loss to some local
signals.
Pre-terminated coaxial feeders are avail-
ablefor5-,10-or15-meterrequirements. High
frequencies can equate to high power losses.
Alwaysusethebestqualitycable. RG58isonly
acceptable on cable runs of up to 5 meters. We
recommend RG213 or equivalent on greater
lengths. If in doubt consult your dealer. Co-
axial cable intended for TV satellite or CCTV
installationsisnormally75ohm,andtherefore
totallyunsuitable,andcancauseseveretrans-
mitter damage.

feedercables alongside othercables, e.g.: tele-
phone and mains.
3.3FACTORYPROGRAMMING
When the system leaves the factory, it will
havebeenprogrammedwithadefaultconfigu-
ration that sets up the system as follows:
Number of pagers: RANGESSETAS

Defaultbleep type: A
Password: 72765
SystemIdentity: REFERTOORDER
DOCUMENTATION
Thesystemparameterscanbechangedand
re-programmed via the keyboard, if required
(seeprevioussection:ProgramParameters,3:

Your system has been programmed to be
fullyfunctionalbeforeleavingthefactory. There
is no need to change any settings if you are
happy with the factory settings.
3.4OVERVIEW
IMPORTANT!This unit must not under
anycircumstancesbe connecteddirectto
the public telephone network. It is only
intended for indirect connection to an in-
housetelephoneexchange.Anyattemptto
operate the unit other than as intended
will invalidate all equipment warranties
and may result in damage to the equip-
ment, the telephone network or both.
The Scope Digital Paging Interface can be
used to transmit numeric messages from any
telephone connected to your exchange, direct
to the pocket of the individual being paged.
There are two types of interface available that
coveralltypesofhybridandPBXsystemswith
DTMFcapability.Thesecanbesuppliedintwo
basicconfigurations.
1) LP. This interface connects to an exter-

nallineport. Itissuppliedwitha50-voltsupplytoprovide
the required voltage to the line port. This unit will work
with any telephone system that can send DTMF to the
assigned port without receiving a dial tone.
2) MF. This interface is only intended for use with
systems dedicated to two wire ports. Access is gained by
dialingthe extension number. Theringing will alertthe
DataPagewhichwillpickuptheline.Useofthisinterface
with hybrids of any sort is not recommended, and we
cannot provide any support for such applications!
Both of these interfaces contain line voltage isolation
devices. There is total electrical isolation between the
paging logic and power supply, and the PBX side of the
apparatus.
