Matrix- Stand Alone with BMTX
Guide

Installing the Matrix Pagers
The first consideration in the placement of the transmitter is convenience. It should be
readily accessible in a central location within the paging area. Pay close attention to
nearby obstructions such as walls, pipes, ducts, mirrored glass, or other similar barriers
that may weaken or misdirect transmitted signals. Certain materials and construction,
especially metal, have the potential to partially or completely block the paging signal.
The next consideration involves safety.
Ensure the unit is securely mounted or set in an area away from liquids, extreme heat
and possible physical damage. Also remember that the transmitting unit requires a
110V AC power outlet. Ideally the transmitter should be centrally located within the area
where paging is to occur. See the special function section of this guide entitled ‘Range
Test’ for more information. Also consult your Sales Consultant for additional information.
Once the Transmitter has been installed, plug in the power adapter. Once powered, the
transmitter will display “Enter Number’’ indicating it is ready to send a page. We
recommend some type of surge suppressor on the power supply for protection. Power
surges are not covered under system warranty!
The Matrix Pagers are used in conjunction with several of the Pagertec transmitters.
The guest pagers are used as an on-premise paging system to increase efficiency by
alerting customers who are waiting, usually for services or goods.
CHARGER INSTALLATION
1. Install the charging base per the directions received with the charger kits.
2. Charge pagers for 24 hours prior to first use. Note: Keep rechargeable pagers on
charge even during extremely long periods of inactivity.
WARNING: Do not connect more than 2 charger base stations to a single power supply.

Only use the power supply that came with your charger. Damage caused from improper
electrical connection including but not limited to the incorrect power supply is not
covered under the standard warranty. If you’re uncertain about which power supply to
use, contact our customer support department.
OPERATION
1. When a guest arrives, remove a pager from the charging station. Pagers will light
up for 1 second.
2. Record the pager number and hand to your guest.
3. Page the pager by entering the number into the transmitter.
4. Pagertec Matrix Pagers will flash or vibrate (if enabled) depending on the page
mode that is selected.
5. Transmitters can also send predefined time limits for each of the pager alert
modes.
CLEANING
Pagertec pagers are made from industrial-strength, polycarbonate material. However,
this material is susceptible to hairline cracking if non-approved cleaners are used. When
cleaning Pagertec pagers, you should only use ETHYL ALCOHOL (ethanol) or
ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL-BASED CLEANERS. We have done extensive testing with
available cleaning materials and have not found any issues with either ethyl alcohol
(ethanol) or isopropyl alcohol (IPA). ALL other cleaners are not recommended for use
on any of our pagers. To clean the equipment:
1. Take a clean cloth and an isopropyl-alcohol based cleaner
2. Wet the clean cloth with the isopropyl alcohol cleaner
3. Wipe down the pagers or equipment
4. When dry, place rechargeable pagers back on charge
