PG-302 Ultra Express Numeric Local Pager (170-8022) Preparation Faxback Doc. # 18663 SUBSCRIBING TO SERVICE You must subscribe to local paging service through PageMart before you can start receiving pages. To activate your pager, call PageMart's at 1-800-99-RSPAGE. INSTALLING A BATTERY Your pager requires one AAA battery. For the best performance, we recommend an alkaline battery such as Radio Shack Cat. No. 23-555. 1. Slide off the battery cover in the direction of the arrow. 2. Remove the old battery, if necessary, and dispose of it properly. 3. Insert the new battery as indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and -) marked beside the compartment. 4. Replace the battery cover. NOTES: The built-in memory saver stores messages and settings for a short time while you change the battery. Turn off the pager when you are not using it. See "Automatic Operation.", (see Faxback Doc. # 18662). A battery should last for 850 to 950 hours of use. When battery power becomes low, the pager displays (battery symbol). You have about 1 week's battery power left when this warning first appears. PAGER QUICK GUIDE Press the read/select button ( -- ) to turn on the pager, view pages, and select menu options.
