If the message is longer than 14 characters, it is split into multiple
segments of 14 characters each. These segments scroll
automatically during the alert period; each segment is displayed
for 1.25 seconds, except the last which is displayed for 2.5
seconds.
Example of a beep call with message number (M):-
Example of a message with length less than or equal to 14
characters:-

Your receiver is capable of receiving alphanumeric
messages of up to 120 characters. When you receive a call
including an alphanumeric message whose total length (message
+ time or message number) is less than 14 characters, the entire
message is displayed during the alert period, unless the alert
is acknowledged by pressing the “acknowledge” button. If
the alert is acknowledged, the message remains displayed for

When your receiver receives a voice call, it activates the alert
sequence. This sequence includes the flashing LED, plus
the alert tone at normal volume, for 4 seconds, plus the display
of an alphanumeric message and/or time/call number. After 4
seconds the voice channel opens automatically and the voice
message is transmitted. The voice channel closes
automatically after a predetermined period or when
the receiver receives the signal that closes the voice channel;
this depends on the system programming.
This sequence repeats until the end of the alert period.
If, during the alert period of 4 seconds, the MAR button is pressed,
the alert is acknowledged. If you press MAR again, voice listening
is cut off.

But if the call is acknowledged before the end of the scrolling
of the message, the latter repeats its display cycle by segment and
maintains the last segment displayed.
Example of a message longer than 14 characters:
If a call is acknowledged during the alert period, the Silent Mode
button is used to review the message and speed up or slow
down the scrolling. If the Mute Mode button is pressed and
held, the message stops at the current segment; releasing the Mute
Mode button will move the message to the next segment. If the
Mute Mode button is pressed and then released, when the last
segment is displayed, the display will start over from the
beginning.

By pressing the MAR button again before voice
monitoring automatically closes, voice monitoring is activated
again.
If they are not acknowledged, the messages are
automatically saved in the receiver's memory. It can store up to 5
free format messages 120 characters long and up to 4 pre-
programmed messages 14 characters long. When the memory is
full, each new message deletes the oldest.
All voice calls are automatically stored and can be retrieved later
(see section 8).
When the alert period is over, if you press the MAR button, you
acknowledge the call (and remove its new state) but to reopen
the voice channel, press it a second time.
When the receiver is inactive, the MAR button is pressed
twice to retrieve the messages. If the receiver is in extended alert
mode , pressing the MAR button once retrieves the messages.
The receiver displays the time or message number of the first
message. If there are no messages, the phrase no messages is
displayed and the receiver returns to the idle state.
To retrieve other messages, each time the MAR button is
pressed, the receiver displays the message number.
The most recent is prefixed M 1 or the time of its reception.
If you want to read a message, release the MAR button and
the message scrolls automatically.
If the extended alert option is configured in the beep: The alert is
extended to all the unacknowledged messages received.

7. RECOVERING MESSAGES FROM MEMORY
Machine Translated by Google

The Silence Mode button is used to stop the sequence, to read
the message and to speed up or slow down the process. If the
Silent Mode button is pressed and held, the message segment
remains displayed; by releasing the button, the message goes
to the next segment.
Your receiver stores up to 120 seconds of voice
messages in 5 equal memory segments, each 24 seconds long.
It is only possible to retrieve a voice message from memory after
the original call has ended, but it is possible to close the voice
channel during the original call. If a voice message exceeds 24
seconds, the stored message is shortened. When the
memory is full, each new message deletes the oldest.
RPR 750IS Series

The voice message is emitted automatically when the
associated message is retrieved from memory, see section 7.
If the MAR button is pressed at any time, the voice message ends
and you go to the next message. If the Silent Mode button is
pressed and then released, the message will start its cycle
over from the beginning.
To adjust the volume of voice messages and alert, the receiver
must be in idle state. First, press the Silent Mode button,
then the ON button. The display shows the current volume. To
adjust it, press the ON button again to increase the volume or the
Mute Mode button to decrease it. As soon as the desired level is
reached, release all buttons and the receiver will return to an
inactive state.

display
The programming of your receiver can allow the display
of the hour, in inactive state. This signal is generated either by the
internal clock of the receiver, or the receiver receives it from the
management system, which transmits it, if available. This data
is used to indicate the time of receipt of the messages
received.
Silent mode selected
Signal – Time, emitted by the radio system – if this option has
been activated, your receiver displays the symbol --:-- in
inactive state, until the reception of the first time signal emitted
by the system (emits all minutes). If the receiver is out of range
of the system and does not receive a time signal for 2 minutes,
this symbol is displayed, until a new valid signal is received.
RPR 750IS Series
Internal Clock – in case the signal emitted by the radio
system is not activated, it is possible to activate and set
the internal clock of the receiver. To set the time, press the MAR
button during the initialization sequence; the screen begins by
displaying the flashing hours. To change the hours, press
several times or hold down until the desired time is displayed.
*Vibrator
*NB: This message only appears if this option has been
activated
12. THE HOUR
Machine Translated by Google

The acoustic/visual option activates the display of the
message out of range for 4 seconds, accompanied by a 2-second
audible signal. Receivers with the acoustic option
activated also emit an audible signal when the MAR button is
pressed, if the receiver is out of range (unless the Silence
option is activated). If the visual alert only option is activated,
the receiver only displays the message. In all cases, if
the vibrator option is activated, the vibrator emits several pulses
of vibration of short duration during the alert period.
Then press the Silence button to make the minutes flash. Press
the MAR button until the desired minutes are displayed.
Group Alert – Receiver programming may allow participation
in a “team”. A group call, intended for your team, activates
your acoustic alert sequence, even if your receiver is in Silent
Mode.
To complete the initialization, press the Silence button and the
receiver continues the initialization sequence.
To correct the time of a receiver that is already working, or if the
time has been programmed incorrectly, simply stop the receiver
and start the initialization sequence again.
Out of Range – This option warns you if you move out of
coverage of your radio system.
The alert is activated if the receiver does not receive a valid
signal for a predetermined period, normally 3 minutes 30
seconds.
16
RPR 750IS Series
Several alert options are available, including visual, acoustic +
visual, or either option + vibrate.
Programming the receiver allows the following
additional options:
13. OTHER OPTIONS
Machine Translated by Google

Following the 4 second alert period, the receiver continues
to display the message out of range, or if the memory
stores a message, it is signaled until acknowledged.
Call Comparator – With this option enabled, the receiver
recognizes if a call has been repeated, in case the system
sends it again during a predetermined period, from the time the
original call was sent. The receiver does not display or memorize
such calls, identified by the comparator. The
programmable delay can be 30s, 120s or 300s from the time
the original call was made.
Low Battery Warning – not recommended if receiver uses
rechargeable batteries.
The charge status of your receiver's battery is
constantly monitored. As soon as the receiver notices that
the battery is low, it will continue to operate at
maximum for 24 hours. Failure to change the battery
during this time may compromise the proper functioning
of the receiver.
An exception concerns voice messages, when the receiver
is not sure of having correctly decoded the original message.
17
When enabled, the programming of this option allows visual,
acoustic and vibrator alerts. An alert can be triggered under the
following conditions:-
RPR 750IS Series
(i) When switching on, the initial tone is
accompanied by an additional sound signal (buzzing)
and the low battery message is displayed; (ii) all alerts
are modulated by an audible signal (buzz); (iii) the
battery condition can be
checked at any time using the receiver status mode - see
Section 11. The low battery message is displayed
and the receiver returns to an idle state, the battery
message still visible on the edge of the display.
