6. Troubleshooting

6.1 Signal Issues

• Intermittent Signal: Ensure the antenna on the charging base is securely attached and fully extended. Avoid placing the base near large metal objects or other electronic devices that may cause interference.
• Reduced Range: Obstructions like thick walls or multiple floors can reduce the effective range. Try repositioning the charging base to a more central location or an area with fewer physical barriers.

• Incorrect Alert Mode: Review the prompt mode settings (Section 3.3) to ensure the desired alert type (vibration, flash, beep) is active.

6.3 Charging Issues

• Pager Not Charging: Ensure the charging base is powered on and the power adapter is securely connected. Check that the pager is correctly seated in its charging slot and that the charging contacts are clean.
• Slow Charging: Confirm you are using the original power adapter provided with the system.
