							Pager Programming Software (PPS)27
English
•The pager monitors any activity on 
both frequencies. If activity is 
detected on either frequency, the 
receiver will lock on to that frequency 
until the transmission ends.
Note: Neither frequency will have 
monitoring precedence over the other.•When the pager is locked on to either 
of the scanned frequencies, the pager 
will sound an alert to the correct 
address tones for that frequency and 
start message storage. The pager will 
turn the audio off according to the 
current Reset mode. The receiver will 
then resume the scan activity.
•Priority Scan:•This mode allows you to monitor 
traffic on two different frequencies. 
•One frequency must be 
preprogrammed as a priority 
frequency; and the second frequency 
can be preprogrammed as a 
non-priority frequency. 
Note: The priority frequency has 
monitoring precedence over the 
non-priority frequency. •If the receiver is in the Scan mode 
and is monitoring frequency activity 
on a non-priority frequency, the 
receiver will scan back to the priority 
frequency at programmed intervals. If 
activity is detected on the priority 
frequency the receiver will then lock 
on to that frequency. Scanning is 
stopped until the priority frequency 
becomes inactive.

•At this time the receiver will resume 
the priority scan activity. The pager 
will only alert on the detection of alert 
tones on the priority frequency. The 
pager will then turn the audio off 
according to the current Reset mode. 
Address detection is turned off for the 
non-priority frequency.
•Silent Scan:•This mode allows you to monitor 
traffic on two different frequencies.
Note: Neither frequency will have 
monitoring precedence over the other.•The receiver alternately scans the two 
frequencies and the audio remains 
turned off. When a page is detected, 
the pager generates a page alert and 
performs message storage.•Upon receiving a page, the audio will 
turn on immediately after the page alert (enabling the carrier squelch 
operation). The pager will then turn 
the audio off according to the current 
Reset mode. The receiver will then 
resume the silent scan activity.
•Disabled:•This mode allows you to disable a 
Function Switch position. When 
programmed, the pager will play a low 
frequency tone when switching the 
channel knob to this position.
Alert Type
This option allows you to set the type of 
alerts to be activated when the pager is 
powered up or when there is an incoming 
page.
There are three different alert types 
available.
•Tone: The pager plays a tone.

are enabled, you can set the type of 
announcements to be played. These 
announcements are played when the pager 
is powered up or when the Function Switch 
is moved to a new position.There are three different announcement 
types available.
•Standard: Announces the mode, 
frequency number, and alert type that 
are programmed for the current switch 
position. For priority scan, the first 
frequency announced is the priority 
channel.•Enhanced: In addition to the Standard 
announcement, announces On/Off Duty, 
Push-To-Listen, Priority Alert, and 
Privacy when programmed for the 
current switch position.•Custom: Plays the custom function 
switch announcements stored. You can 
store up to eight different custom 
announcements in the pager.

							Stored Voice Features and Controls33
English
Stored Voice Features 
and ControlsThe pager can store at least 8 minutes of 
voice messages. Messages are stored 
according to their length. If preferred, the

messages in fixed lengths of 30, 60, or 120 
seconds instead. Minitor VI provides a list 
of controls for stored message 
management – fast forward, rewind, skip to 
next, return to previous, lock, unlock, and

the channel that do not alert your pager are 
not stored.
The message recording cycle is complete 
under any of the following conditions:•When the Stored Voice Duration for the 
message is reached.•When the squelch circuit no longer 
detects carrier signal and no Reset 
Function timer is active.•When the Delayed Reset cycle is 
complete and carrier is no longer 
detected.
