performance within the transmission system coverage
area. As with any other radio system, there are areas with
poor coverage where signal reception may be sporadic or
absent. If necessary, please consult your system
administrator to familiarize yourself with these areas.
Protect your pager from liquids, extreme temperatures and

direct sunlight, for example, on a car dashboard or window sill.
If you need to have your pager repaired, return it to the
designated repair agent or to Multitone Electronics. Do not
attempt to open or repair it as it contains delicate components
that require specialized test equipment.

at any time by pressing the CANCEL button.
When used with Multitone MK6/7 code formats, your pager can
receive up to 8 different tone calls, each of which is distinguished
by a distinct beep pattern. For each call received, the
pager displays a dial tone number for the duration of the alert.
If you cancel the alert by pressing the OCR button, the call data
is displayed for an additional 2.5 seconds.
For example, a tone call with a code 3 beep timestamp

If a received message has more than 14 characters, it is
divided into several segments of up to 14 characters. These
segments scroll automatically during the alert period and
are displayed for 1.25 seconds each, except on the final
screen which is displayed for 2.5 seconds. This process
then starts again until the end of the alert period, but if the
call is canceled before that time, the message scrolls
again from the beginning and pauses on the final screen.
If a call is canceled during the alert period, the MUTE
button can be used to play the message and speed up
or slow down the viewing process. If MUTE is pressed
and held the message remains on the current screen, if
MUTE is released the next screen is displayed. If MUTE is
pressed and released on the final message screen, the display
returns to the first part of the message and the entire message

To find more messages, each time you press the OCR button,
the pager scrolls through the stored message headers. The
most recent message is prefixed with “M1” or the time it was
received. If you wish to view a message, release the
OCR button and the message will automatically scroll
across the display.
If a call is canceled during the alert period, the MUTE

engage memory replay mode. The pager responds by displaying
the timestamp or the message number (header) of the first
message. If there are no messages, the phrase no message is
displayed and the pager returns to standby mode.
Your pager can store up to 120 seconds of speech in 5 equal
memory segments, each 24 seconds long. It is not possible to
replay a voice message from memory until the original call is
ended, but it is possible to close the voice channel during
the original call. If any message exceeds 24 seconds in
length, the recorded message is truncated. Once the memory
is full, any new message will overwrite the oldest stored
message.
The message is replayed automatically when its
associated message is retrieved from memory, as described in
section 7. If you press the OCR button at any time, this
ends the message playback and the next message is
retrieved. If you press and release the MUTE button, the
message starts over from the beginning.

To adjust the volume of voice prompts and beeps, if
programmed as options, place the pager in standby mode.
First, press the MUTE button, then the OCR button. The
display shows the current volume level and can then be
adjusted by pressing the OCR button again to increase the
volume, or the MUTE button to decrease it. Once the desired

obtain an alert signal whose volume increases
gradually. The sequence begins with the LED flashing for 4
seconds, then the LED lights up and an audible alert sounds
for another 4 seconds and the sequence ends with the final
selected alert duration (8, 16, 32 seconds or constant) of LED
lighting + an audible warning signal at maximum volume. It
is possible to interrupt the alert at any time during
the sequence by pressing the OCR button once.
Audible alerts
Extended alert - programmable option, this mode acts
as a reminder if the original alert has not been cancelled. The
sequence starts with one LED flash every 2 seconds through

Silent alerts
The Silent Alert setting can be changed by pressing and
holding the MUTE button for approximately 1.5 seconds
while the pager is in sleep mode. Each time you press and
hold the MUTE button again, the pager cycles through each
option until you reach the mode you want. Each change is
confirmed by an acoustic signal and, if necessary, by a
short vibration. If you press the OCR button in standby
mode, this allows you to check the status of the selected
option.
The options available are:
Mute Mode - a programmable option that silences all
audio alerts and voice calls. Received calls are notified with
a flashing LED and a vibration, if the latter has been
selected. Messages are displayed and saved as normal for
later review.
On - normal sound alert, no vibration;
Vibrate option - a programmable option allowing
On+vibrate - same as On but with vibrate;
to obtain a discreet alert that can work in conjunction
with or separately from the sound alert options. Once
programmed, this option can be turned on or off using the
MUTE button and going through the steps in the mute/vibrate
option sequence.
Mute + vibrate - tones and voice prompts are muted and vibrate
is on.

RPR 950 Series
Your pager can be programmed to display the time when in
sleep mode. The actual source of the time signal may be
the pager's internal clock or an antenna signal from
your control system, if applicable. Time data is used to
timestamp incoming messages.
Internal clock - when the antenna time signal option is not
activated, it is possible to activate and set the pager's internal
clock. To set the time, press the OCR button during the
power up sequence and the time screen will appear with
the hours flashing.
Press the OCR button until the desired minutes are
displayed. To complete the setting, press the MUTE button
and the pager will continue its power up sequence.
On-air time signal - If this option has been
selected, your pager will display the --:-- symbol in standby
mode until the first valid time signal (transmitted every
minute) from the system is received. If the pager is out of
range of the system and no time signal is received for 2
minutes, this symbol will also be displayed until a new valid
signal is received.
To change the times, press repeatedly or press and hold the
OCR button until the desired time is displayed. At this time,
press the MUTE button and the minutes start flashing.
To reset the time to a pager that is already on, or an
incorrect time, simply turn the pager off and on again and
follow the time setting procedure.

Combinations of alert options are possible, including
visual only, sound and visual, or any option and vibrate.
The audible/visual option allows you to get an out of
range warning on the display for 4 seconds and a buzzing
sound for 2 seconds.
Pagers with audible alerts enabled will also buzz if the OCR
button is pressed while the receiver is out of range (except
in mute mode). For the visual alert only, only the message is
displayed. In any case, if selected, the vibrate option
causes several short pulses during the alert period.
You can program your pager and get the following other
options:
After the 4 second alert period, the pager continues to
display the Out of Range message or if a received
message is logged, it is shown until cleared.
Group Alert - Your pager can be programmed to work
as part of a 'team'. Any group call to your team will activate
an audible alert sequence, even if your pager is set to
mute.
Low Battery Warning - It is not recommended to enable this
option when using rechargeable cells.
Out of Range - This option tells you that you are in an area
that is out of radio coverage. The alert activates if the pager
has not received a valid signal for a predetermined time,
typically 3 minutes and 30 seconds.
Your pager's battery status is constantly
monitored and if low battery voltage is detected,
the pager will continue to operate but the battery
should be replaced as soon as possible (within 24

Call Comparator - This option allows the pager to
recognize calls that are a repeat of a previous call, sent
within a preset time after the original call. The pager can
ignore repeated calls identified by the comparator. The time
limit can be programmed for durations of 30 seconds, 120
seconds and 300 seconds after the original call.
