This field sets the silence gap between tones A and B. Range of 0.00 to 1.25 seconds
allowed. Please note that ZbaseW will round off whatever you enter to the nearest 0.05
seconds in its database. If you do not know what value to use, refer to Two-Tone Timings

Second Tone Seconds
(0 to 12.00 seconds in 0.01 second increments
This field sets the length of the first tone sent in the 2-tone page. A tone length of 0
seconds will skip the tone altogether. Please note that ZbaseW will round off whatever you
enter to the nearest 0.05 seconds in its database. If you do not know what values to use,
refer to Two-Tone Timings on page 204 in Appendix A for some guidelines.
Send Empty Message
Leave the check box for this parameter blank for “No”. This reduces the number of tone-
only pages that a voice pager receives. When set to “No”, if a caller hangs up before the
paging terminal begins recording voice, no page will be sent. In practice, people reaching
a wrong number will often wait until after the beeps to hang up; thus some voice time will
be recorded (for example, the sound of a phone hanging up) and the pager will alert and
send it. Despite this, subscribers like this feature since it does help reduce false pages, so it
should normally be left unchecked for voice pagers.
The box should be checked if the subscriber wants to receive a page even if no voice
message is given, or if you are setting up a tone-only (0 voice time) pager.
