INSTALLING A BATTERY  
Your pager requires one AAA battery for power. For  
the best performance and longest life, we recommend  
an alkaline battery such as Radio Shack Cat. No. 23-  
555.  
1. Slide the battery cover  
latch away from the  
cover to unlock it, then  
slide the cover/belt clip  
in the direction of the  
arrow to remove it.  
2. Insert a battery in the compartment slot closest to  
the pager’s display, according to the polarity sym-  
bols (+ and –) marked inside.

17-7060.fm Page 7 Thursday, July 22, 1999 8:56 AM  
Note: For quick access when the current battery  
needs to be replaced, you can store an extra  
AAA battery in the other slot in the compartment.  
3. Replace the battery cover/belt clip and slide the  
latch toward the cover to lock it.  
When battery power becomes low, the pager displays  
LO bAttErY. You have about 1 week’s battery  
power left when this warning first appears.  
Caution: Removing the battery deletes all messages  
and settings (such as the time) stored in the pager’s  
memory. Be sure to reset the time (see “Setting the  
Time” on Page 10) after you replace the battery.

PAGER IDEAS  
Include your pager number in your answering ma-  
chine or voice mail messages. This way, you can re-  
ceive important messages immediately.  
Leave your pager number at your children’s school  
and with the babysitter so you can always be reached  
in an emergency.  
Establish code messages with your family or friends.  
For example, your children can include the code 3333  
to tell you they are home from school. Your spouse  
can send 07734 to say hello! (Read it upside-down.)  
If you have a cellular phone, give your pager number  
instead of your cellular number. You can decide who  
to call back on your cellular phone, without paying for  
incoming cellular calls. This can drastically reduce  
your monthly cellular bill!
