Stored Voice Function There are several recording durations that can be chosen. The pager can store up to 8 minutes of voice. So the length of each message determines the maximum number of messages that can be stored. If you prefer, the alert monitor can be programmed for fixed message lengths of 30, 60, or 120 seconds.
Voice Memo When this feature is enabled, the pager will generate a voice prompt indicating the mode of the current function switch position each time the function switch is turned or the power is turned on.
Fixed Alert This means that the tone alert will be at maximum volume regardless of the position of the volume control. If the "OFF" mode is selected, then the pagers alert tone level and voice audio level is adjusted with the volume control.
Priority Scan F1 If the pager model is configured for the priority SCAN option, then this field is set to ON and the following field is enabled and allows the user to enter the scan back time.
Alert Duration It is either FIXED or STD duration. A STD, or standard alert, lasts for the duration of tone 2 and is immediately followed by the message. A FIXED alert allows the user to set the alert duration for a time period of 480 ms (0.5 seconds) to 122400 ms (2 minutes). If the fixed alert duration is longer than Tone 2, then the user may miss all or part of the message.
Call Reminder The pager will emit an audio tone reminder alert every 2 minutes when there is an unread message in memory.
Priority Alert If a Function Switch mode is set for Frequency 1 and Vibrate, and a Call 1 paging address is received, the pager will generate a Tone Alert instead of vibrating when this option is enabled.
Privacy When this feature is enabled, the pager cannot monitor the channel when the RESET button is depressed.
Reset Function 6 methods to choose from:
Auto RESET: Resets the audio when carrier drops.
Delay N sec Auto Reset: Waits N seconds before checking carrier drop.
Revert SQ: Reverts to Monitor Mode after receiving a Selective Call page.
Manual RESET: Resets the audio only when the Reset Switch is depressed.
Time-out RESET: Resets after a selected amount of time only.
Delay AUTO_N with Revert: Wait N seconds and then behaves as monitor mode until the reset button is pushed.
Squelch Level This field sets the squelch value. Use the slide bar to select the appropriate value. The available values are from 1 to 5. The default value is 3.

Minitor V Programming Issues
Pager Frequently Asked Questions
My pager is not receiving pages
A. Check to make sure your pager is not set to a silent (no) alert setting.
B. Check to see if battery needs to be replaced.
C. Check with your local on site pager coordinator to see if your pager is correctly programmed. They should verify that your pager number is on the correct cap code. You can call for this service as they do not need to physically see the pager to check the programming.
D. Verify with Contact Wireless that there is not a system issue effecting all pagers.
E. If all of the above are eliminated as a problem, bring your pager by one of our stores and have it tested. It may need to be tuned or replaced.
My Pager is continually using up batteries
A. If you are using the vibrate alert setting, this will use more energy than the audible alert setting. A typical Alpha pager will consume one battery under normal use with audible alert in about 30 days. A typical Numeric pager will consume one battery under normal use with audible alert in about 45 to 60 days.
B. Pager may have a short causing the battery to drain, pager will have to be replaced or repaired.
My pager sometimes locks up and does not operate normally
A. Occasionally you can inadvertently lock up a pager by pressing keys randomly. This can happen if the pager is in a pocket or purse or is bumped into. Remove the battery from pager and reinsert into pager backwards. Count to ten and change battery back to normal position. This resets the pager programming.
B. Try a fresh battery to see if that fixes the problem.
C. If the above procedures do not fix the problem, send it to us to have it checked.

C - Monitor F1 tone & vibrate alert
D - Monitor F2 tone & vibrate alert
E - Monitor F3 tone & vibrate alert Alt - Silent scan with vibrate alert
F - Monitor F4 tone & vibrate alert Alt - Silent scan with tone & vibrate alert
G - Monitor F5 tone & vibrate alert Alt - Priority scan with vibrate alert H - Priority scan with tone & vibrate alert Motorola Minitor VI programmable options.
Below is a list of the Motorola Minitor 6 pager programmable options.
The function switch has 8 positions (A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H) that can be programmed for any of the following options, depending on the pager model.
1.Selective call -- The pager is quiet until the tones are sent, then the pager alerts and turns on the audio so you can hear the transmission. Monitor -- Monitors all the traffic on the channel and alerts whenever the tones are sent.
2.Priority Scan - This function will scan for this first active channel, but when channel 2 is the active channel, the pager will scan back at periodic intervals (.5 sec) looking for activity on the priority channel. Should channel 1 become active, the pager will switch to channel 1 until activity ceases. With this setting you will always receive a page if it's on channel 1.
3.Silent Scan Scans between channel 1 and channel 2 but does not open the audio unless you receive an alert. With this setting it is possible to miss the alert on channel 1 so this setting should not be used if you must receive alerts on channel 1.
Note: Each of the above options can be set to (Alert only) (Vibe only) or (Alert & Vibe)
