FEATURES
Your Express Xtra FLXNumeric Pager lets the of-
fice and family and friends keep in touch with you any-
where around town. It can store up to 20 messages
and alerts you with a gentle vibration, a chirp, or one
of seven tone patterns.
Your pager uses “flex” technology — the latest in pag-
ing technology — to extend battery life up to four
times longer than ordinary pagers, saving you time
and money. The pager also has these features:
Clock and Daily Alarm — displays the current time
when you are not viewing a message, and lets you set
the pager to sound an alarm at a set time.
Low Battery Indicator — lets you know when the
battery is low.©1997, 1998 Tandy Corporation.

INSTALLING A BATTERY
Your pager requires one AAA battery. For the best
performance and longest life, we recommend an alka-
line battery, such as Radio Shack Cat. No. 23-555.
Caution: Always use a fresh battery of the required
size and recommended type.
Note: The built-in memory saver indefinitely stores
most settings (but
not messages) while the battery is
removed or after it loses power.
1. Slide the battery cover lock away from the cover
to unlock it. Then slide off the battery cover in the
direction of the arrow.

2. Put a battery in the compartment as indicated by
the polarity symbols (+ and –) marked inside.
3. Replace the cover and lock it.
When battery power becomes low, the pager displays
. You have about 5 days of battery power left when
this warning first appears, depending on use.
Hint: To save power, turn off the pager (or set it to
turn off automatically) when you are not using it. See
