Advanced features
When proficient at using the system, you can speed up your paging by not waiting for the prompt tones, simply
enter the pager number message and listen for the sign off tones. If you replace the handset prior to
hearing the sign off tones the page will be aborted. It is possible to send the page without waiting for the sign on
tones, this may well require the delay before sending the sign on tones to be lengthened (see programming
section on 'SET TIME BEFORE SIGN-ON TONES' ). To achieve this facility you must send valid DTMF tones to
be received by the system before the sign-on tones are generated. It is therefore possible to extend the sign-on
delay past the inactivity timer, which effectively means that the sign-on tones will never be received.
Speed dialing
It may be possible to effect some speed dial functions with your telephone system, however telephone
exchanges vary as to the way in which they perform depending upon their own internal protocol. With certain
systems you may have to establish an audio connection with the port prior to sending the message. With other
systems it may be possible to program pauses between accessing the port, sending the pager number and
sending the message. If this is possible, it will be necessary to extend the 'TIME BEFORE SIGN-ON TONES' to
allow valid data to be sent before receiving the sign-on tones.
Tone only paging
Numeric and alphanumeric pagers can receive tone only calls by entering À in place of the message.
