To call a specific pager:

The corresponding pager will activate, providing vibration, flash, and/or beep alerts to the customer.

Refer to the specific settings menu on your keypad transmitter for detailed instructions on how to change this setting. Typically, this involves pressing a 'Settings' or 'Menu' button and navigating through options.
6.3. Mute Setting (Enable/Disable Beep Prompt)
