Congratulations on purchasing the Motorola



Digitz TM pager. The Digitz pager incorporates the latest in paging technology. FLEX™ technology extends battery life up to four times longer than ordinary pagers and improves the ability to receive pages.

This compact pager integrates messaging and time keeping functions in a package that is convenient to carry. Full understanding of what this product offers begins with reading this user’s guide. This user’s guide includes a detachable quick reference card on the back cover.

Effective Use of Your Pager

Your pager can help you keep in contact with everyone important to you. By giving your pager number to your business associates, family, and friends, you can be contacted when necessary.

If you have a cellular phone, give your pager number instead of your cellular number. Then you can decide who to call back on your cellular phone without paying for incoming calls.

1


Numeric Codes

Most pages you receive are displayed phone numbers for you to call. But you can give numeric codes to your friends, family, and associates that they can use to send you a message. For example, you might use the following codes as messages:

911 Important message

411 I’ve got the information

180 I love you

222 Pick me up after school

32

4

Pick up bread and milk

Let’s play golf

23


Message Storing

Your pager can store up to 16 personal messages in memory. Each stored message is assigned a number which is displayed when you read the message. The first message received is 1, the second is 2, and so on.

Note: Stored messages differ from locked messages in that they can be overwritten (when the stack is full and a new message comes in) or deleted.

Automatic Message Deletion (Overflow)

If all 16 message slots are full (that is, you have received 16 messages) and a new message is received, this creates an overflow condition. When an overflow condition occurs, the oldest, unlocked, previously read message is automatically deleted.

When the message memory is full and a new message is received, ouerflo@j is displayed. Press either button to return to the Standby screen.

Hint: To prevent specific messages from being deleted, lock them. Then you can delete all of your stored messages to prevent the overflow condition and message display.

24


Out of Range

If your pager is equipped with this feature, and if you are outside your paging coverage area, R is displayed. As long as R is displayed, your pager cannot receive messages.

Cleaning Your Pager

To clean smudges and grime from the exterior of your pager, use a soft, non-abrasive cloth moistened in a mild soap and water solution. Use a second cloth moistened in clean water to wipe the surface clean. Do not immerse in water. Do not use alcohol or other cleaning solutions.
