Maintenance

• **Cleaning**: Regularly clean the transmitter keypad and pagers. It is recommended to wipe the screen printing position of the keyboard keys with water or 75% alcohol. Do not use kitchen cleaner or vinegar, as these may damage the device.
• **Charging Pins**: If a pager is not charging, ensure the charging pins on both the pager and the base are clean and free from debris. Gently wipe them with a dry cloth or a cotton swab moistened with alcohol.
• **Battery Care**: To prolong battery life, avoid fully discharging the pagers frequently. Charge them regularly, especially after heavy use.
• **Storage**: When not in use for extended periods, store the system in a cool, dry place. Ensure pagers are partially charged before storage.

Troubleshooting

• **Pager not charging**:
  • Ensure the pager is correctly seated in the charging slot.
  • Clean the charging pin positions on both the pager and the base.
  • Verify the power adapter is securely connected and the base is receiving power.
• **Pager not receiving signal**:
  • Check the distance between the transmitter and the pager. The maximum working distance is 400 meters in open air and up to 150 meters indoors. Walls and obstacles can reduce this range.
  • Ensure there are no major obstructions (e.g., thick walls, metal structures) directly between the transmitter and the pager.
  • Verify the transmitter is powered on and functioning correctly.
• **System not responding**:
  • Check all power connections for the transmitter.
  • Restart the transmitter by unplugging and re-plugging the power adapter.
• **Need to expand the system**:
  • The system supports up to 998 pagers. Additional pagers can be purchased and paired. Refer to the product's full manual for detailed pairing instructions if not pre-configured.
