FEATURES
Your RadioShack WordLine FLX Alphanumeric Pager
lets the office and family and friends keep in touch
with you anywhere around town. It can store up to 16
alphanumeric messages and alerts you with a gentle
vibration, a chirp, one of seven tone patterns, or a
tone that gradually increases in volume.
Callers can send alphanumeric messages to your
pager three ways: leave a message with the operator
at your message center, send a message using a
computer and modem, or use a hard terminal.
You can also receive information services messages
on your pager, including sports scores, top news sto-
ries, and entertainment updates.

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:
Silent Alert — lets you set the pager to not sound or
only vibrate, so you can avoid disturbing others.
Three Alarms — lets you set up to three different
alarms to sound at the desired times on a specific
day, or every day.
Private Time — lets you set the pager to automatical-
ly turn its alert function off and on once every day at
the times you select. During private time, the pager si-
lently stores any messages it receives.
Low Battery Indicator — lets you know when the
battery is low.

from accidental deletion.
Clock — displays the current time when you are not
viewing a message and when the pager is off.
Duplicate Message — lets you know if you receive
the same message more than once.
Adjustable Message Scroll Speed — lets you set
the pager to display messages line-by-line, or scroll
the message across the display at one of three
speeds you select.
Page Reminder — beeps or vibrates every 2 min-
utes, for up to 30 minutes, to remind you to view un-
read pages.

15 seconds if you do not press a button.

INSTALLING A BATTERY
Your pager requires one AAA battery. For the best
performance and longest life, we recommend an alka-
line battery, such as RadioShack Cat. No. 23-555.
Caution: Always use a fresh battery of the required
size and recommended type.
Notes:
• The built-in memory saver stores messages and
settings for up to 5 minutes while you change the
battery or after the battery loses power.
• Be careful because if you accidentally install the
battery backward, the pager loses all messages
and settings.
1. If the pager is on, press
to turn it off
(so only the date and time appear).

2. Slide the battery cover lock away from the cover
to unlock it. Then slide off the battery cover in the
direction of the arrow marked on it.
3. Put a battery in the compartment as indicated by
the polarity symbols (+ and –) marked inside. The
pager turns on, vibrates or sounds a brief alert,
and briefly displays the preprogrammed start-up
message.
4. Replace the cover and lock it.
