INSPECTION

Verify the model number and customer spe-

ciﬁc information located on the label on the

back of the alert monitor.

Inspect the equipment thoroughly. If any part

of the equipment has been damaged in tran-

sit, report the extent of the damage to the

transportation company immediately.

BATTERYTYPES

The alert monitor is powered by two recharge-

able Nickel-Cadmium or two alkaline ‘AAA’

size batteries.

BATTERY INSTALLATION

NOTE

For optimum performance, the

nickel-cadmium batteries must be

fully charged before operating your

alert monitor.

STANDARD FEATURES AND

CONTROLS (All Models)

ON/OFF Switch/Volume Control

The ON/OFF SWITCH/VOLUME CONTROL

is a combined single control located on the

top of the alert monitor as shown above.Turn-

ing the control knob a few degrees in a clock-

wise direction applies power to the receiver,

and an audio beep is sounded to indicate that

the alert monitor is turned on.As the control is

rotated in a clockwise direction, the volume

level of any received message and alert tone

is increased. Rotating the control in the oppo-

site (counterclockwise) direction reduces the

audio level, and turns the alert monitor off.

Audible/Visual Alert Indicators

When your alert monitor is initially turned on,

both the red and amber LEDs on the control

panel light and an alert tone is sounded until

the decoder circuit power-up is complete.

Thereafter, whenever a properly encoded

message is received, the red LED ﬂashes and

an audio alert is sounded. If the battery volt-

age falls below the level required for reliable

operation, a low battery pulse tone sounds

and the red LED ﬂashes. Following any sub-

sequent audio message, the momentary low

battery pulse tone is repeated until the batter-

ies are replaced.

If the function switch is set to a vibrate posi-

tion, just the red LED ﬂashes to indicate a low

battery state.

Function Switch

According to the speciﬁc model ordered, the

function switch will be conﬁgured to 2, 3, or 4

positions. Different function modes (monitor/

selective call, scan, etc.), can be conﬁgured

for any position of the switch.

Channel Monitoring

When the function switch is set to a monitor

position, all voice communications on the

selected channel is heard through the

speaker. When monitoring channel 1 or 2, all

ordered alert options are functional.

Reset Button

After receipt of a properly coded message

and after completion of that message, the

alert monitor reverts to carrier squelch moni-

toring. Press the reset button to return your

alert monitor to the standby mode.

Minitor TIC Book Page 5 Friday, January 9, 1998 8:10 AM

External Speaker Jack

When the alert monitor is used in high-noise

environments or when privacy is needed, an

optional Motorola approved lapel speaker or

earpiece can be connected to the external

accessory jack located on the top control

panel.The jack is ﬁtted with a protective plug.

NOTE

To prevent entry of dust and mois-

ture, the plug should be inserted

whenever the external accessory

jack is not being used.

Belt Clip Feature

An integral part of the clip on the back of your

monitor is a security hook. This hook is

intended to allow easy removal of the alert

monitor, while at the same time preventing the

unit from being pulled off your belt.

Scan (Two-Frequency Models Only)

All alert monitors that are equipped with two

frequencies are capable of scanning the two

channels for selective call or monitoring pur-

poses.The scan feature may be programmed

for either priority scan or non-priority scan.

This feature is factory installed as priority

scan. Non-priority scan is ﬁeld programmable.

FACTORY OPTIONS

The options that are described in the para-

graphs that follow are limited to those options

that affect the operation and/or functional

characteristics of your alert monitor. For a

complete list of available options, contact your

Motorola sales representative or authorized

paging system dealer.

Minitor TIC Book Page 6 Friday, January 9, 1998 8:10 AM

Fixed-Alert, Audio-OnlyVolume Control

When this option is installed, the alert tone is

factory preset (non-adjustable) at the maxi-

mum volume level.Turning the volume control

varies only the voice message volume level.

NOTE

Use of audio accessories is not rec-

ommended with this option.

Time-Out Auto Reset

This feature allows the alert monitor to be

automatically reset after a predetermined

amount of time. This places the alert monitor

back in standby mode to help conserve bat-

tery power.

FIELD INSTALLED OPTIONS

Several alert monitor ﬁeld programmable

options are available to include the following:

• Non Priority Scan

• Alert Duration

• Priority Alert

• On/Off Duty

• Reset Options

- Carrier Reset

- Delayed N Carrier Reset

- Manual Reset

• Push-To-Listen

Contact a Motorola authorized paging system

dealer or call 1-800-548-9954 for the addition

of these features.

OPERATION

Perform the following steps to condition your

alert monitor for operation:

Set the FUNCTION switch to a tone-alert

position.

Rotate the ON-OFF SWITCH/VOLUME

CONTROL clockwise to turn on the alert

monitor. Eight short beep sounds occur

and both LEDs light, indicating that power

is applied.

Set the FUNCTION switch to a monitor

position.

Listen for a transmission and adjust the vol-

ume control to a comfortable listening level.

If no transmission is heard, hold down the

RESET button and adjust the background

noise to a comfortable listening level.It may

be necessary to readjust the volume when

a voice signal is present.

Set the FUNCTION switch to the desired

operating mode, i.e., selective call tone,

selective call vibrate, monitor, scan, etc.

Turn off the monitor by rotating the ON-OFF

SWITCH/VOLUME CONTROL counter-

clockwise until a click is heard and the

mechanical stop is reached.

SCAN OPERATION

Priority Scan

If the alert monitor is programmed for priority

scan, the frequency programmed as F1 is

designated as the priority channel. If there is

no trafﬁc on F1, the alert monitor alternately

listens to F1 and F2 until a transmission is

detected. If a transmission is detected on F1,

the alert monitor stays on that channel until

the transmission ceases. The alert monitor

only decodes tones on the F1 channel. No

tones are decoded on the F2 channel.

Minitor TIC Book Page 8 Friday, January 9, 1998 8:10 AM

If the alert monitor detects a transmission on

F2, it stops on F2 then listens for transmis-

sions on F1. Scanback time is programmable

and can be set to 0.5, 1, or 2-second incre-

ments.If a transmission is detected on F1, the

alert monitor switches to F1 cutting off any

transmission on F2. When switching from F2

to F1, the alert monitor listens for any tones

and alerts if the proper tones are detected. It

should be noted that the detection of tones is

very dependent on the duration of the tone

sent over the air.To ensure reliable alerting, it

is recommended that this feature only be

used when the ﬁrst tone duration transmitted

is one second or more.

During the scan mode, the amber LED blinks

fast to indicate transmission on F1 and at a

slower rate for transmission on F2.

Non-priority Scan

In the non-priority scan mode, the alert moni-

tor alternately listens on F1 and F2 for any

transmission. A transmission on either chan-

nel causes the alert monitor to stop on that

channel until the signal disappears. In non-

priority scan, the alert monitor decodes tones

on either F1 or F2 provided the alert monitor

has listened to the appropriate channel at the

correct time. However, it should be noted that

if the alert monitor is listening to trafﬁc on F2

and an alert is transmitted on F1, the alert

monitor will not hear that signal until the trans-

mission on F2 is ﬁnished.Therefore, an emer-

gency alert could be missed if the alert

monitor is listening to trafﬁc on one channel

with tones being sent out on the other chan-

nel.

BATTERY LIFE

Battery life depends upon the number of calls

received, length of each call, capacity and

charge of the battery, and the mode of opera-

tion.

When the battery voltage drops below an

acceptable level, the red LED ﬂashes and a

low battery pulse tone is sounded. The LED

continues to ﬂash and voice communication

deteriorates until the batteries are replaced. If

the unit is recharged without being turned off,

the low battery alert signal will continue until

the RESET button is pressed.

REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE

Your alert monitor, properly handled, will pro-

vide quality service for years. However,

should it ever require service, call 1-800-548-

9954 for instructions.

increase communications efﬁciently and pro-

vide many unique beneﬁts. Consult your
