3. Setup Instructions

3.1 Powering the Pager

The Companion Pager SP30 can be powered by two AA batteries (included) for portability or by an AC power adapter (purchased separately) for continuous operation.

• Battery Installation: Open the battery compartment on the back of the pager. Insert two AA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-). Close the compartment securely.

The pager offers adjustable volume levels and a silent vibration mode. It can be powered by two AA batteries (included) for portability or via a DC5V power input with an AC adapter (purchased separately) for fixed installations.

3.2 Attaching Call Buttons

The wireless call buttons offer multiple attachment methods for various settings:

• Adhesive Patch Mounting: Peel the backing from the adhesive patch and firmly press the call button bracket onto a clean, dry surface. Then, snap the call button into the bracket.
• Lanyard Use: Thread the breakaway lanyard through the designated loop on the call button. This allows the user to wear the call button around their neck for easy access.

The call button offers flexible mounting options: it can be securely attached with screws, adhered using an adhesive patch, or worn around the neck with the provided breakaway lanyard for easy access.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Receiving Calls

When a call button is pressed, it sends a wireless signal to the Companion Pager SP30. The pager will then:

• Display the corresponding call button number on its LCD screen.
• Emit an audible alert tone or vibrate, depending on your selected settings.

This image illustrates the primary function of the system: a user pressing the 'Push for Help' button, which sends a wireless signal to the Companion Pager. The pager then displays the corresponding call number, in this case, '002'. The call button is also shown mounted on a nightstand, demonstrating a common placement.

4.2 Alert Modes

The pager offers two alert modes:

• REPEAT Mode: The alert tone will continue to sound periodically until all calls are manually cleared. This ensures no call is missed.
• ONE-OFF Mode: The pager alerts once only, and the call number remains displayed on the screen. This mode is suitable for environments where less disturbance is preferred.

To switch between modes, refer to the pager's controls (typically a dedicated button or a combination of buttons).

4.3 Adjusting Volume and Tones

The pager features 4 adjustable volume levels and 7 distinct alert tones/chimes, including an alarm siren. It also has a silent vibration mode.

• Use the VOLUME button on the pager to cycle through the different volume levels.
• Use the TONE button to select your preferred alert chime.
• To activate silent vibration mode, continue pressing the VOLUME button until the vibration icon appears or the sound is off.

4.4 Clearing Calls (Review Feature)

The SYNLETT Companion Pager SP30 includes a unique review feature. If multiple call buttons are pressed, the first called number remains displayed. To review and clear subsequent calls:

• Press the CLEAR button on the pager. This will clear the currently displayed call and show the next pending call, if any.
• Continue pressing CLEAR until all calls have been reviewed and cleared from the system.

5. Maintenance

5.1 Battery Replacement

The system is equipped with a low battery reminder for both the pager and the call buttons. When a low battery is detected:

• Pager: The LCD display may show a low battery indicator. Replace the two AA batteries promptly.
• Call Buttons: A blinking LED light on the call button will indicate a low battery. Replace the internal battery (refer to the call button's specific battery type, usually a coin cell, not explicitly stated in product description but implied).

Always use fresh, high-quality batteries for optimal performance.

5.2 Cleaning

To clean the pager and call buttons, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the devices in water.

6. Troubleshooting

6.1 Pager Not Receiving Signals

• Check Power: Ensure the pager has fresh batteries or is properly connected to the AC adapter.
• Check Call Button Battery: Verify that the call button being used has sufficient battery power (check for blinking LED).
• Range Issues: The maximum operating range is 500 ft without obstacles. Environmental factors such as concrete or brick walls and heavy electronic equipment can significantly reduce the signal range. Try moving the pager closer to the call button.
• Antenna: Fully extend the telescopic antenna on the pager for the most optimal signal range.

This diagram demonstrates the effective wireless range of the SYNLETT Companion Pager system, extending up to 500 feet without obstacles. It shows a call button placed in a bedroom and a bathroom, indicating that signals can reliably reach a caregiver who may be in another part of the building. Environmental factors like concrete walls may affect this range.

6.2 Pager Not Alerting

• Volume Setting: Ensure the volume is not set to silent or too low. Adjust using the VOLUME button.
• Vibration Mode: If in silent vibration mode, ensure you are aware of the vibration.
• Memory Function: The pager remembers your set volumes/chimes even after a power outage. If settings changed unexpectedly, re-adjust them.
