General User Information
Radio Reception
Your pager has been designed to give optimum performance within
the coverage area of the transmitting system. As with any radio
system, there may be areas of poor coverage where reception may
be sporadic, or non-existent. If necessary, consult your system
administrator in order to familiarise yourself with these areas.
Hazardous Areas
Standard versions of this pager should not be taken into areas
where explosive gas, or dust products, may be present. This
Intrinsically Safe version is the only version available for use in such
environments.
Pager Care
Protect your pager from liquids, extreme temperatures and strong
magnetic fields. Do not leave your pager exposed to strong
sunlight, e.g. on a car dashboard, or a windowsill.
Servicing
Should your pager need repair, return it to the designated
service agent, or Multitone Electronics plc. Do not attempt
to open or repair the product, as it contains delicate
components and requires specialised test equipment. Only
qualified personnel in a Multitone Electronics authorised
workshop should perform repairs.

Introduction
Your MIT870 pager is an alphanumeric radio-paging receiver, which
is able to receive text messages and store them for you to view
later. The high contrast screen is capable of displaying up to 150
characters, whilst operation of the functions may be performed via
intuitive menus and 3 tactile buttons. An additional feature is that
no icons are used on the screen, as all operating prompts are
displayed in plain text language. In order to obtain maximum
benefit from the features provided, please read this guide carefully.

Status and Warning Messages
When your MIT870 pager is switched on, the Standby Screen is
displayed. This consists of the time and date, with any additional
status and warning messages. A typical screen is shown below:
The first line always acts as a clock, showing the current time and
date. The time is shown to the left of the first line and the date is
shown in the centre. The time may be displayed in either a 12 or
24-hour format.
Alarm will show at the right side of the top line, to denote that the
internal alarm is currently set. The second line displays No Unread
Messages or 1 Unread Message,to show how many messages
have been received but not viewed.
Sometimes another message, Memory Full,may alternate with the
message status. This occurs when the memory is almost full and
the next message may overwrite the oldest read message.
The third line shows the status of the alert, Silent to warn that the
audible alert has been turned off, or No Vibrate to show that the
vibrate alert has been turned off. When both audible and vibrate
alerts are turned off, Silent and No Vibrate alternate at 2-second
intervals. If nothing is displayed, then both audible and vibrate alert
are turned on.
Depending on the programming options selected, the bottom line
may display Replace Battery, to indicate that the battery should be
replaced. Likewise, if the MIT870 is out of range from the
transmitter, the Out of Range message will also be displayed on
the bottom line. In situations where Replace Battery and Out of
Range are both displayed, these will alternate at 2-second intervals.

sequence with the beep code pattern received, the audible alert will
also sound in sequence (unless silent mode has been selected) and
a vibrate alert is produced (unless vibrate has been turned off). The
message will either be sent immediately to the message store, or
will be displayed during the alert period, depending on whether the
Auto View function has been selected. Press any button to cancel
an alert:
The end of the message is always shown by the character ■. If the
message is very long and cannot be fully displayed on the current

If the alert is not cancelled, the MIT870 will go to the extended alert
mode and return to the Standby Screen, indicating that a new
message had been received:
During the extended alert period, the alert LED will flash every two
seconds, the audible alert will emit two short pips and the vibrate
will issue a reminder every 90 seconds, 2, or 5 minutes, depending
on how the pager has been programmed.
As each new message is received it is stored. When the message
store is almost full, a warning message Memory Full will be
displayed on the Standby Screen. To make room for new
messages, your MIT870 will start to delete your oldest read
messages. If there are no read messages, it will delete the oldest
unread message.
Some MIT870's may be programmed not to display the message
immediately. In this case press the Sbutton to cancel the alert, or
the Tbutton to cancel the alert and display the message.
