Intrinsically Safe Radio Information
Anyone intending to use a radio in a location where hazardous
concentrations of flammable materials exist (hazardous atmosphere)
is advised to become familiar with the subject of intrinsic safety and
with the National Electric Code NFPA 70 (National Fire Protection
Association) Article 500 (hazardous [classified] locations). UL
Approval labels are attached to the Minitor V pager to identify the unit
as being UL Approved for specified hazardous atmospheres. This
label specifies the hazardous Class/Division/Group which will appear
as follows:
RAD DEV FOR HAZ LOC INT SAFE
DIV 1, I, CD; II, EFG Temp code T3C
RAD DEV FOR HAZ LOC INT SAFE
EXIA: DIV 1, I, CD; II, EFG-T3C
Substitution of Components may impair intrinsic safety.
The following is the Approved battery listing to be used for the UL
Approved Minitor V.
• Do not operate equipment in a hazardous atmosphere unless it is a
type especially qualified (for example, UL Approved) for such use. An
explosion or fire may result.
• Do not operate a UL Approved Product in a hazardous atmosphere
if it has been physically damaged (for example, cracked housing). An
explosion or fire may result.
• Do not replace or charge batteries in a hazardous atmosphere.
Contact sparking may occur while installing or removing batteries and
cause an explosion or fire.
• Do not replace or change accessories in a hazardous atmosphere.
Contact sparking may occur while installing or removing accessories
and cause an explosion or fire.

• Turn a radio off before removing or installing a battery or
accessory.
• Do not disassemble a UL Approved Product unit in any way that
exposes the internal electrical circuits of the unit.
• Do not substitute components. This could void the intrinsic safety
rating.

STANDARD FEATURES AND CONTROLS (All Models)
ON/OFF Switch/Volume Control
The ON/OFF SWITCH/VOLUME CONTROL is a combined
single control located on the top of the alert monitor as
shown above. Turning the control knob a few degrees in a
clockwise direction applies power to the receiver, and an
audible beep is sounded to indicate that the alert monitor is
turned on. As the control is rotated in a clockwise direction,
the volume level of any received

6
message and alert tone is increased. Rotating the control in
the opposite (counterclockwise) direction reduces the audio
level, and turns the alert monitor off.
Audible/Visual Alert Indicators
When your alert monitor is initially turned on, both the red
and amber LEDs on the control panel light and an alert tone
is sounded until the decoder circuit power-up is complete.
Thereafter, whenever a properly encoded message is
received, the red LED flashes and an audio alert is sounded.
If the battery voltage falls below the level required for reliable
operation, a low battery pulse tones sounds and the red LED
flashes. Following any subsequent audio message, the
momentary low battery pulse tone is repeated until the
battery pack is recharged or replaced. If the function switch
is set to a vibrate position, just the red LED flashes to
indicate a low battery state.
Function Switch
According to the specific model ordered, the function switch
will be configured to 4 positions. Different function modes
(monitor/selective call, scan, etc.) can be configured for any
position of the switch.
Channel Monitoring
When the function switch is set to a monitor position,
all voice communications on the selected channel is
heard through the speaker. When monitoring channel 1 or
2 all ordered alert options are functional.
Reset Button
After receipt of a properly coded message and after
completion of that message, the alert monitor will
automatically reset to the programmed operational mode

7
(see Field Installed Options section for reset options).
Some of these reset functions will place the pager in the
monitor more. In these cases, or when the manual reset
function is programmed into the pager, press the reset
button to return your alert monitor to the standby mode.
External Speaker Jack
When the alert monitor is used in high-noise environments
or when privacy is needed, an optional Motorola approved
lapel speaker or earpiece can be connected to the
external accessory jack located on the top control panel.
The jack is fitted with a protective plug.
NOTE: To prevent entry of dust and moisture, the plug
should be inserted whenever the external accessory jack
is not being used.
Belt Clip Feature
An integral part of the clip on the back of your monitor is a
security hook. This hook is intended to allow easy removal
of the alert monitor, while at the same time preventing the
unit from being pulled off your belt.
Scan (Two-Frequency Models Only)
All alert monitors that are equipped with two frequencies
are capable of scanning the two channels for selective call
or monitoring purposes.
STORED VOICE MODEL FEATURES AND CONTROLS
The alert monitors that include the stored voice feature can
store up to 8 minutes of voice messages. Messages are
stored according to their length. If preferred, the alert
monitor can be programmed for stored voice fixed message
lengths of 30, 60 or 120 seconds. Messages can be deleted

8
by either incoming new messages replacing older messages
or by turning the receiver off.
Unread Message Indicator
The red LED turns on if there are any unread messages.
Reminder Alert
The pager generates a reminder alert approximately every
two minutes when an unread message exists.
Voice Memo
When the alert monitor is powered on or the function select
switch is moved to a new position, a voice prompt will be
played to announce the mode that the pager is in. This
feature is available with the stored voice pagers only and
can be disabled through the programming software.
FIELD INSTALLED OPTIONS
Fixed-Alert, Audio-Only Volume Control
When this option is installed, the alert tone is factory
preset (non-adjustable) at the maximum volume level.
Turning the volume control varies only the voice message
volume level.
NOTE: Use of audio accessories is not recommended
with this option.
Time-Out Auto Reset
This feature allows the alert monitor to be automatically
reset after a predetermined amount of time. This places
the alert monitor back in standby mode to help conserve
battery power.
