20-digit messages in memory, and you can protect im-

them.

INSTALLING THE BATTERY
Your pager requires one AAA battery.For the best per-
formance, we recommend an alkaline battery, such as
Radio Shack Cat. No. 23-555.
1. Slide the battery compartment lock up and slide
the battery door in the direction of the arrow. The
pager’s door hinges open. If you accidentally lift it
so far that it pops off of the pager, simply snap it
back into place.
2. Insert the battery’s positive end first, as indicated
by the polarity symbol (+) marked outside the
compartment.

3. Close the battery door and slide the battery com-
partment lock down to secure it.
Notes:
• To conserve battery power, turn the pager off
when you are not using it.
• The battery should provide about 850 to 950
hours of continuous use.
A low battery alert sounds and the pager displays LO
CELL when the battery’s power is low. When this oc-
curs, replace the battery.
Notes:
• To save battery power, all pager alerts change to
2 seconds in length when battery power is low.
• When you replace the battery, the pager keeps all
messages and the time and date.
