Phone numbers are easier to read with “-” hyphen delimiters. Therefore, if your FLEX
pager is capable of formatting numeric strings to look like phone numbers, you should
check this box for “yes”. Then, 7-digit local phone numbers entered by callers will display
as eight digits nnn-nnnn; and 10-digit long distance numbers as 12 digits nnn-nnn-nnnn. It
is assumed that callers will not be entering long distance numbers prefixed by a digit 1.
If the Numeric/Alpha field is set to type “F”, then this box should be left unchecked for
“no”.
Send Empty Message
Leaving this check box blank sets this function to “no” and reduces or eliminates the
number of tone-only pages that a pager receives.
Voice functions: Leaving the box unchecked reduces the number of tone-only pages that
a voice pager receives. 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 unchecked
for voice pagers.
Display functions: Leaving the box unchecked eliminates tone-only pages to a display
pager. When this is done, if a caller hangs up without entering any digits, no page will be
sent. Subscribers like this feature. This field should almost always be left unchecked for
display pagers.
Both functions: This applies if the pager supports both voice and display in a single page.
When this check box is blank, a caller must enter either a voice or display message; they
are not required to enter both. The pager will be alerted if either message is entered or both
messages are entered; if neither is entered, it will not be alerted.
If the subscriber wants a page even if no message is given, or if you are setting up a tone-
only pager, then this box should be checked.
SA206 Format
The SA206 format does not provide a window for setting capcodes or making other
settings. The capcode, mode, and “Send Empty Message” status of the subscriber are set
internally to a fixed value whenever this paging format is assigned.
The subscriber is set to a Multitone format capcode of 00000. The Mode for the pager is
set to 6. The Send Empty Message feature is set to No.
