• The pager may be in Low Memory status. To prevent lost incoming messages, transmission is turned off. Delete old messages from inboxes, then empty the Trashcan to increase the available memory. For more information, see “Deleting Messages” on page 36, “To empty the Trashcan” on page 43, and Low RAM on page xx). • The battery might be too low to support two-way transmission.

When your PageWriter 2000X smart pager is set to two-way transmission but is not receiving Full Service (i.e., you are out of range), the pager continues to attempt to reestablish communication with the network. This acts as a continuous drain on the battery. Whenever you leave a two-way coverage zone, set the radio mode to One-way or Off to preserve the battery. I haven’t used my pager in two months.
What caused my application installation to fail? The pager may be in a Low RAM status or you may be attempting to load an application that is close in size to the available RAM. Remove the pager from the charger. Reset the pager by turning it off then back on again. Rerun the installation program. Partner stopped working during a download and is unresponsive.
