Configuring Your PageWriter 2000X Pager

Before attempting to send or receive messages, ensure your pager
is set to the proper transmission mode. You can also adjust the
message text size or turn on or off the audible keyboard clicks when
preparing your pager for use.

To set the transmission mode:

1. Select

from the menu wheel.

2. Select the transmission mode:

3. Select

to return to the main screen.

Ä

When the pager is in Off mode, messages are retained by the
paging service until you change modes (Send/Receive or Receive
Only).

Send/Receive — Full service coverage. Turns on
the receiver and transmitter for two-way message
transmission. Messages can be sent and received
from your pager.

Receive Only — Basic Service coverage. Turns on
only the receiver for one-way message transmis-
sion. Messages can be received but not sent from
your pager.

Off — Storing Messages. Turns off the transmitter
and receiver. Messages cannot be sent or received.

TIP

Sometimes referred to as Hospital mode. The unit

will never transmit while in this safe mode for environments
with sensitive equipment such as CAT Scan and MRI equip-
ment found in hospitals.

Off is recommended for airline travel. Radio

transmissions can interfere with flight navigation and com-
munications. Follow FAA regulations. Turn off the transmit-
ter while on airplanes.

TIP

Off mode does not turn off your pager. It turns off the radio
frequency (RF) transmission. You can still use the applica-
tions on your pager to update your Address Book, schedule
reminders to yourself, or compose messages to be sent at a
later time.
