5. Using the Campus Pager

This section contains operating notes for using the Campus Pager. Read these notes before attempting to operate the system.

5.1 Overview

Before operating the Campus Pager, be sure that you understand the following information concerning the paging system’s capabilities.

The Campus Pager covers a maximum range of up to two miles using the supplied center-loaded antenna.

This distance is based on average conditions over a line-of-sight path. This range may be less, depending on surrounding conditions. The Campus Pager sends a number (from 0-9) to one or all of the pagers. The pagers in turn beep and display the numbered message. Each pager has a label where you can write down the message you’ve established for each number. We recommend that you use a pencil, so the number can be easily changed at a later date.

Each pager has its own pager code, which allows the Campus Pager to send a message to a single pager, or to ALL of your system’s pagers using the TRANSMIT ALL feature. You can record each of the pager codes, and their corresponding users on the card located under the Campus Pager. (The card is inside the bottom of the unit and must be pulled out from the front.) You can also write down the messages represented by each message code. Again, we recommend that you use a pencil, so the number can be easily changed at a later date.

5.2 Storing the System Code

Before you can use the Campus Pager, you must designate a system code. The system code ensures proper signaling between the Campus Pager and the pager.

To enter and store a system code, follow these steps:

1. Turn the Campus Pager power on.
