MINITOR V SELECTIVE CALL ALERT MONITOR RECEIVER USERS’ GUIDE
Intrinsically Safe Radio Information Anyone intending to use a radio in a location where hazardous concentrations of flammable materials exist (hazardous atmosphere) is advised to become familiar with the subject of intrinsic safety and with the National Electric Code NFPA 70 (National Fire Protection Association) Article 500 (hazardous [classified] locations). UL Approval labels are attached to the Minitor V pager to identify the unit as being UL Approved for specified hazardous atmospheres.
• Turn a radio off before removing or installing a battery or accessory. • Do not disassemble a UL Approved Product unit in any way that exposes the internal electrical circuits of the unit. • Do not substitute components. This could void the intrinsic safety rating.

Slide in the battery pack into place, and then slide the battery pack latch to the locked position.
STANDARD FEATURES AND CONTROLS (All Models) ON/OFF Switch/Volume Control The ON/OFF SWITCH/VOLUME CONTROL is a combined single control located on the top of the alert monitor as shown above. Turning the control knob a few degrees in a clockwise direction applies power to the receiver, and an audible beep is sounded to indicate that the alert monitor is turned on.
message and alert tone is increased. Rotating the control in the opposite (counterclockwise) direction reduces the audio level, and turns the alert monitor off. Audible/Visual Alert Indicators When your alert monitor is initially turned on, both the red and amber LEDs on the control panel light and an alert tone is sounded until the decoder circuit power-up is complete. Thereafter, whenever a properly encoded message is received, the red LED flashes and an audio alert is sounded.
(see Field Installed Options section for reset options). Some of these reset functions will place the pager in the monitor more. In these cases, or when the manual reset function is programmed into the pager, press the reset button to return your alert monitor to the standby mode.
by either incoming new messages replacing older messages or by turning the receiver off. Unread Message Indicator The red LED turns on if there are any unread messages. Reminder Alert The pager generates a reminder alert approximately every two minutes when an unread message exists. Voice Memo When the alert monitor is powered on or the function select switch is moved to a new position, a voice prompt will be played to announce the mode that the pager is in.

OPERATION Perform the following steps to condition your alert monitor for operation: 1. Set the FUNCTION switch to a tone-alert position. 2. Rotate the ON-OFF SWITCH/VOLUME CONTROL clockwise to turn on the alert monitor. Eight short beep sounds occur and both LEDs light, indicating that power is applied. 3. Set the FUNCTION switch to a monitor position. 4. Listen for a transmission and adjust the volume control to a comfortable listening level. 5.
If the alert monitor detects a transmission on F2 it stops on F2 then listens for transmissions on F1. Scan back time is programmable and can be set to 0.5, 1, or 2second increments. If a transmission is detected on F1, the alert monitor switches to F1 cutting off any transmission on F2. When switching from F2 to F1, the alert monitor listens for any tones and alerts if the proper tones are detected.
more, the alert monitor decodes tones on either F1 or F2 provided the alert monitor has listened to the appropriate channel at the correct time. However, it should be noted that if the alert monitor is listening to traffic on F2 and an alert is transmitted on F1, the alert monitor will not hear that signal until the transmission on F2 is finished. Therefore, an emergency alert could be missed if the alert monitor is listening to traffic on one channel with tones being sent out on the other channel.
Scan/Monitor Positions In these positions, the message is stored only when a properly encoded message is received. Other communications monitored on the channel that do not alert your monitor are not stored. Selective Playback of Message(s) To playback a particular message in memory, press the PLAYBACK button. Pressing once replays the newest message in memory. Twice replays the second most recent message and so on. Messages cannot be played back during message recording.
used to determine remaining battery capacity. To enable the battery gauge, press the reset button. This will illuminate the LED in the battery gauge. Three LED are present and represent approximately one-third of the battery capacity.
