Battery Information
Your pager operates with a single
AAA-size alkaline battery (do not use
carbon zinc batteries). See the diagram
on the following page for the battery
door location.
If lobat displays, the pager’s AAA-size
battery is low. Replace the AAA-size
battery.
Installing/Replacing the Battery
Holding the pager face down, slide
the battery door in the direction of
the arrow (toward the outer edge).
Lift the battery door away from the
pager’s housing to remove it.
Remove the old battery, noting the
positive (+) and negative (-) polarity
markings.
Insert a new battery so the polarity
markings on the battery match the
polarity diagram in the battery
compartment.

Sending a Test Page to Yourself
It's a good idea to test your pager and
service by sending a page to yourself.
Start by using the phone number, web
site, or email address (and a PIN, if
required) your service provider gave
you, then enter a short message. If you
are sending a word message from a
phone, an operator will assist you;
otherwise, press the phone buttons to
enter a numeric message or type a
message and send it. While you are
waiting for the message to reach your
pager, refer to page 15 for information
about how to read a message. If your
pager does not receive the message
within a few minutes, contact your
service provider. After you've tested the
pager, read the rest of this guide to learn
about the many useful features of your
new pager.
